  Grace, Grit & Grounds: When the Universe Feels Too Big: A Bowl Beneath the Stars

  Jul 13, 202628 minS2

  Have you ever looked up at the night sky and wondered where you fit in all of it? As I turn a simple cedar bowl in the shop, my mind wanders through some of the biggest questions I've carried since childhood. Questions about the universe, significance, science, faith, and the mystery of a God who knows the stars by name... yet also knows ours. Inspired in part by a thoughtful reflection from Neil deGrasse Tyson on the humility of saying, "I don't know," this episode isn't about proving science or defending theology. It's about recovering something we've almost lost: wonder. As the bowl begins to take shape, an unexpected crack interrupts the process, reminding me that life's deepest lessons often arrive in the ordinary moments. Sometimes wisdom isn't found in having all the answers. Sometimes it's found in knowing when to stop, walk away, spend time with the people you love, and come back tomorrow. Together we'll explore what John's Gospel says about Christ holding all things together, why mystery doesn't have to threaten faith, and why perhaps our significance was never about becoming bigger, but about belonging to Someone infinitely greater than ourselves. So grab a cup of coffee, settle into the shop, and join me for another conversation about grace, grit, and the ordinary places where God so often meets us. If this episode encourages you, I'd love for you to subscribe and become part of our growing community. We're building a place where thoughtful conversations, woodworking, faith, and everyday life come together around the workbench. Leave a comment below as well. I read every one and do my best to respond because some of the best conversations begin after the video ends.

  Grace, Grit & Grounds: When the Shape Changes

  Jul 6, 202614 minS2

  There are seasons when life doesn't follow the plans we carefully made. In this episode of Grace, Grit, and Grounds, I'm back at the lathe with a simple cedar bowl and no real plan except to enjoy the process. What began as an ordinary turning revealed hidden beauty, unexpected imperfections, and a completely different shape than I originally imagined. Along the way, we talk about change, grief, and learning to let go of the picture we had in our minds. Whether you're facing a new chapter, carrying the weight of loss, or simply trying to find your footing in a changing season, I hope this conversation reminds you that God is still at work, even when life takes an unexpected turn. So grab a cup of coffee, pull up a shop stool, and join me as we discover how even the changing grain of cedar can point us toward lasting truth. If this episode encouraged you, I'd be honored if you would like the video, subscribe to the channel, and share it with someone who may need this reminder today.

  Grace, Grit & Grounds: Retooling The Soul

  Jun 30, 202638 minS2

  Some episodes teach you how to turn wood. Others quietly remind you how God shapes a life. This is one of those episodes. What started as an ordinary Saturday became an unexpected journey. With my family out of town, a quiet house, an unfinished sermon, friends carrying heavy burdens, and a restless heart, I found myself taking what I call a "walkabout." That simple trip led me to a piece of coffee wood I'd never seen before and, ultimately, to one of the most meaningful bowls I've ever turned. As the shavings began to fall, my thoughts drifted to the story of Elijah in the wilderness and the quiet ways God meets us when we're exhausted, overwhelmed, or simply trying to keep moving forward. This episode is longer than my recent videos, but it's also one of the most personal conversations I've shared here on Grace, Grit, and Grounds. If you've ever felt the weight of ministry, work, family, loss, change, or simply the noise of everyday life, I hope you'll pull up a shop stool, grab a cup of coffee, and stay for the whole journey. Because sometimes the journey isn't about getting somewhere. It's about becoming someone while you're on the way. If this episode encourages you, I'd be honored if you'd like the video, subscribe to the channel, and share it with someone who could use a little hope today. #GraceGritAndGrounds #Woodturning #CoffeeWood #FaithJourney #ChristianPodcast #Woodworking #Elijah #FaithAndWork #BiblicalEncouragement #ChristianLiving #Woodworker #TurningBowls #Handcrafted #WoodArt #GroundedTheology #ShopTalk #CoffeeAndFaith #LifeLessons #WorkshopReflections #HopeInChrist

  Grace, Grit & Grounds: When Resistance Becomes Rhythm: Lessons from Red Oak

  Jun 24, 202618 minS2

  There are some projects we look forward to. And then there are the ones we dread before we ever begin. In this episode of Grace, Grit, and Grounds, I'm back at the lathe working a simple piece of red oak into a low-profile platter. Red oak and I have a history. It's hard, stubborn, and never gives up its beauty easily. As I worked through the turn, I was reminded of a lesson that reaches far beyond the shop: Sometimes the thing we dread isn't actually the task. It's the story we've already written about the task. What began as another battle with an old rival became a reminder that God often hides delight on the far side of obedience. Join me as we talk about resistance, rhythm, faithfulness, recovery, and discovering joy in places we least expect it. So grab a cup of coffee, pull up a shop stool, and let's spend some time together in the shop. If you enjoy conversations about faith, craftsmanship, purpose, and finding God in ordinary moments, be sure to like, subscribe, and join the community.

  Grace, Grit & Grounds: The Unfinished Bowl | Grace in the Cracks

  Jun 16, 202617 minS2

  What do you do with unfinished things? This week in the woodshop, I mounted what I thought was an ordinary piece of cedar onto the lathe, only to discover it was an old, weathered piece of black walnut. The wood was cracked, oddly shaped, and far from perfect. What began as a simple project to ease back into turning after breaking my finger quickly became a lesson in patience, expectations, and grace. As the bowl began to take shape, the cracks refused to disappear. I removed more material than I expected, reshaped my plans more than I wanted, and eventually reached a point where I had to stop and stabilize the wood rather than push forward. For the first time on the channel, the project doesn't end with a finished bowl. And maybe that's the lesson. Many of us carry unfinished projects, unfinished dreams, unfinished goals, and unfinished chapters of life. We often mistake "not finished" for "failure" when sometimes it's simply a matter of time, healing, and trusting the process. So grab a cup of coffee, pull up a shop chair, and join me as we turn an unlikely piece of black walnut into something beautiful... even if the story isn't finished yet.
