As we move toward the holidays, what does it mean to gather with people you love and attend to them? What could it look like to move toward the complicated and sometimes difficult relationships in your life and find gratitude around the table? Wine certainly isn't the only way to practice slowness and gratitude. But wine can teach us how to savor, how to notice what we enjoy, and how to find delight in the small gifts of this life. It can help us learn to practice joy together.

Today's episode ponders what it might mean to attend to goodness, and why wine just might be a Christian response to the pain of this world.
