Grace Not Amazing Without Practice

A piano lesson conversation with an employee got me thinking about muscle memory, habits, and my own painfully slow progress on "Amazing Grace," a song I have been "learning" on my keyboard for almost a year, with weeks long gaps and constant restarts. But the real question this raised was not about music. It was about why so many of us expect a once a week Sunday visit, or a few church events a year, to sustain a real relationship with God. In this episode we talk honestly about practice, fellowship, and why consistency matters far more than perfection, both at the keyboard and at the feet of our Savior. I cannot promise I will ever play "Amazing Grace" amazingly well. But with practice, and with my tribe, maybe I will get better at following our Lord.
