In a culture obsessed with speed, novelty, and surface-level competence, true mastery is quietly disappearing. In this episode of Pursue the Old Paths, we explore the lost discipline of committing to a craft — not just as a skill, but as a way of shaping character.

From carpentry and martial arts to music, medicine, homemaking, and more, we discuss why mastery takes time, why most people avoid it, and why Scripture consistently affirms focus, discipline, and long obedience. This episode is a call to pick one thing, stay with it, and let the work shape you.
