I was having a conversation with my wife the other day, and I told her, “I think we should go ahead and renew our domain for the next 10 years.” That thought came from a place of reflection, thinking deeply about legacy, about what our work might say a decade from now or even a century from now.

When I first became a believer a couple decades ago, I fell in love with the writings of Charles Spurgeon. His words were sharp, convicting, and full of grace. What hit me most recently is that Morning by Morning, the devotional that helped shape my early faith walk, was written over a century ago,  and yet it still encourages me today. Spurgeon lived from 1834 to 1892, and here I am in 2025, still being impacted by something he put into the world more than 100 years ago. That’s the weight of meaningful work. That’s the power of legacy.

Another person I think about is C.S. Lewis. I loved The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. It was one of the few books I read as a kid, and I now own the movie as an adult. Lewis lived from 1898 to 1963, and his story is as powerful as his storytelling. His creativity still sticks with me to this day. The fact that Aslan was a representative of Jesus? Wow. That kind of symbolism has stuck with me for decades. Just the other day, I told my nephew that I wanted him to watch the movie with me,  and I plan to buy him the book too. Because something written before I was even born still lives on, and I want it to live on in him too.

That’s what made me think about the work we’re doing at Murphy Madison Publishing. A few years ago, I wrote my first book, God Bless the Entrepreneur: The First Decade. My wife is working on her first book and a journal. We’re both writing blogs. We’re putting the work in, not just for the now, but for the future. That’s why we need a place for this content to live. That’s why I said, “Let’s renew the domain.”

We’re hoping our words, our stories, lessons, and encouragement,  will still inspire someone long after we’re gone. That they’ll help someone push through hard times. That they’ll bring clarity, comfort, and joy.

I’m reminded of what James said: “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.” So yeah, we make plans,  but we also submit them.

If you’re a writer, a teacher, a content creator — I encourage you to think beyond the post, the comment, or even the book sale. Think legacy. Let your work outlive you.

Keep writing. Keep planting. And let God multiply the impact.
