Grace, Grit & Grounds: The Lost Art of Delight

In a world that constantly pushes us to do more, achieve more, and produce more, we've quietly forgotten something important: how to delight in simple things. In this episode of Grace, Grit, and Grounds, I step into the shop with a beautiful piece of walnut and a very simple goal. No complicated design. No ambitious challenge. Just a plate. As the walnut begins to take shape on the lathe, its rich heartwood, swirling grain, and warm colors remind me that beauty doesn't always need a purpose beyond being enjoyed. Along the way, we explore the lost art of delight, the value of slowing down, and why beauty itself may be one of God's greatest gifts to humanity. Join me as we turn a simple walnut plate and rediscover the joy of paying attention to the good things that surround us every day.
