The Time to Live Is Now: The Legacy of Lygon Stevens is a breathtaking docudrama that shows the experiences of the Stevens family, who lost their daughter and sister, Lygon, to the sudden and unexpected sweep of an avalanche in the Sangre de Cristo (Blood of Christ) Mountains of Colorado in 2008.

The Stevens family hails from Loveland, CO and have been members of Climbing For Christ since 2006. Nick Stevens, Lygon’s father, served on Mission: Haiti 2007, and Lygon and her brother Nicklis served on Mission: Denali 2007. Lygon was only a teenager at the time, and summited Mount McKinley (Denali) during that Evangelic Expedition.
Jim Doenges, a former Climbing For Christ staffer and the current Outdoor Leadership Director at Colorado Christian University, served as the technical director for The Time to Live is Now, which was produced by RBC Ministries. Mick Scarpella, another C4C member from Colorado, also was the docudrama's mountain locations scout and support.
Sarah Stevens, Lygon’s mother, narrates much of the program. Sadly, she died just before Christmas after a battle with cancer. Family members play themselves in the program, and the Stevens' youngest daughter Lexy portrayed Lygon in the reenactments.
