Two Stephens and the Weight of Time
The Buddy Foy Jr Show
Life is short. And sometimes it takes loss to remind us just how fragile time really is.
In this episode of The Buddy Foy Jr Show, Buddy reflects on the recent passing of a childhood classmate and what it revealed about time, grace, and legacy. Growing up in a graduating class of just eleven students—and now having lost three—makes time impossible to ignore. It’s no longer a concept. It’s personal.
This episode is dedicated to Stephen Baker, a man remembered not for status or noise, but for steadiness, kindness, service, and grace. Through Stephen’s life, Buddy explores what it truly means to steward time rather than simply spend it.
That reflection leads into Scripture and the story of Stephen the Apostle from Acts chapters 6 and 7—the first Christian martyr—who lived with bold faith, deep grace, and forgiveness even in the face of death. Two men. Same name. Different centuries. The same lesson.
This is a sober, honest conversation about:
- The brevity of life
- Time as stewardship, not currency
- Grace under pressure
- Living faithfully without needing a platform
- What kind of legacy we’re building—right now
You don’t need perfect theology. You don’t need a microphone. You just need to show up, live with intention, and steward the time you’ve been given.
Because none of us know how many days we have left.
But we do get to decide how we use today.
Scripture referenced:
Psalm 90:12 | James 4:14 | Acts 6–7
As always—don’t take the bait.
