Starting Right

From Pine to Profound


Listen Later

Transforming simple pine boards into exquisite dining tables or crafting a jewelry box from a block of padauk isn't just a hobby—it's a metaphor for personal growth. Join me, Johnny Mac, as I explore the art of woodworking and the spiritual parallels it shares with our life's journey. Inspired by the precision and beauty of Japanese joinery, we discuss how these meticulous techniques mirror our lives, much like the master carpenter, Jesus, who shapes us with care, precision, and sometimes, a bit of discomfort. My wife and I shared a heartfelt conversation about how, though the process can be painful, the result is ultimately beautiful and profound.

As you sip your morning coffee, let's reflect on the wise words of Leighton Ford who reminds us that while God loves us as we are, He loves us too much to leave us unchanged. Whether you're facing trials or triumphs, remember: If you're not dead, God is not done. He's continually shaping, refining, and crafting our lives into something extraordinary. So, let's start the day right by embracing this transformative journey, trusting that the master carpenter is at work, shaping us into masterpieces.
