Dan Mack started working with clay in high school, where he was immediately captivated—maybe from a family history of artists, or from being introduced to clay at a young age by his uncle. That early spark took hold, and Dan spent his school lunches in the pottery studio, teaching himself the craft by watching old videos of Hsin-Chuen Lin, carefully deciphering throwing techniques purely through observation. Dan now works out of his studio in San Francisco, California, using stoneware and reduction firing techniques. Surfaces are often left raw or minimally glazed to highlight the natural character of the clay. This keeps the focus where it began: with an obsession for form and technique, seen in the tension in the walls, the precision of trimming, and the timelessness of his shapes. https://ThePottersCast.com/1201

"My Four Tenets of Good Design are not rules to follow, as much as they are a framework to help you think about design, not just as something pretty to look at but as something that inspires you to be the best version of yourself in the moments when no one is watching." —Nate Berkus, Foundations A feeling of immediate release of any tension, letting the day wash away, and a trust that the comforts and reminders of love and bounty of a beautiful life lived surround you is what a thoughtfully decorated sanctuary gives us each time we cross the threshold.  The truth is a sanctuary can be found anywhere, and in fact doesn't need to be a place, but as we talked about in Monday's Motivational post, can be people or even ineffable things – concepts, ideas where we rest our mind. However, most definitely, our home can be a sanctuary, and today, we're going to explore 7 ways to transform your home into just that.  Because a home isn't always a sanctuary. It may have four walls that keep us warm and shelter us, but the definition of a sanctuary is that it is a reliable place of refuge to rejuvenate ourselves. As defined in Buddha's Brain, a book written by Rick Hanson and the inspiration behind episode #327, a sanctuary is anyone or anything that provides reliable protection, so that you can let down your guard and gather strength and wisdom." So with that definition in mind, when American interior designer Nate Berkus' new book, Foundations, was released this past November, I found a helpful companion resource to help each of us identify what would make our home a sanctuary and where to start the journey of gradually decorating a nest that feels far more than just a home, but most definitely a sanctuary.  The guiding premise of Foundations is Berkus' four tenets of good design: make it personal, embrace history, introduce character, and develop your vision. These will guide us through today's episode/post. Let's begin exploring how to lay the foundation of our decorating journey so that as we progress, adding pieces, making decisions along the way, we have clarity and trust what we choose.

Christian parents today face an overwhelming challenge: how do you talk to your kids about sex with clarity, confidence, and a truly biblical foundation—without fear, confusion, or shame? In this episode of Michael Easley inContext, Michael sits down with Elizabeth Urbanowicz, founder of Foundation Worldview, to discuss her new book Helping Your Kids Know God's Good Design. Together, they unpack how to begin age-appropriate conversations about sexuality as early as age four, why parents should replace “the talk” with ongoing discipleship, and how to address difficult topics like pornography, masturbation, and cultural confusion around identity.

In today’s pervasively secular culture, it’s more essential than ever to guide your children toward a biblical worldview on all issues—including the complex topics of sexuality and gender. But as a parent, how do you have these discussions in an informed, age-appropriate, and Christ-centered way? Elizabeth Urbanowicz will join us to teach us how to talk with our children about sex, gender, and the Bible.Become a Parshall Partner: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/inthemarket/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We live in a polarized world today, and one of the hallmarks of that polarization is the tendency to fight what we are against. That's sometimes necessary, of course. But often fighting what we are against distracts us from clearly understanding and simply saying what we are for. That tendency shows up in our conversations about gender and sexuality. We are pretty good, or at least pretty loud, at saying what we are against, but not as effective at articulating a coherent vision of gender and sexuality that is not merely combative, but also convincing. Elizabeth Urbanowicz understands that our children are watching, and that's one of the reasons I found her book Helping Your Kids Know God's Good Design to be so helpful. It's a book designed for parents – and grandparents – who want to speak into the lives of their children and grandchildren in formative, constructive ways. This book is not a bunch of do's and don't's, but is full of how's and why's. I've got to confess that I've been a fan of Elizabeth Urbanowicz for a few years now. I first met her when I was at the Colson Center. That was probably seven or eight years ago. Her small business, Foundation Worldview, has grown steadily over the past few years, providing curriculum material for Christian schools and homeschoolers. She has a lot of videos and other resources online, and I recommend them to you. We had this conversation via zoom. She spoke to me from her home in Georgia. The producer for today's program is Jeff McIntosh. Until next time, may God bless you.

Is your body just temporary packaging? In this episode of Light + Truth, John Piper opens Luke 24:36–43 to show how Jesus's eating fish reveals God's eternal “yes” to embodied life.

A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show.  Hopefully, you've started creating a list of things you want to change and or do in 2026. If not, it's not too late.  If you missed that episode, the five questions are: What would you like to change about yourself? This question is focused on you, your habits—good and bad. What would you like to change about your lifestyle? This is about how you live, the material things, if you like, such as your home, car and other possessions that improve your lifestyle. What would you like to change about the way you work? The professional question. Perhaps you want to learn more about AI, or change jobs and work from home, or maybe go back to working in an office. What can you do to challenge yourself? What could you do that frightens you slightly? This question is designed to help you move out of your comfort zone.  What goals could you set for next year? Realistically, what could you accomplish next year that has alluded you?  The idea behind this exercise is to give you time to think a little deeper and discover where you are happy and where you feel things need to change.  Now, one thing you will find helpful is to go back to your Areas of Focus. There, you have your definitions of what family and relationships, health and fitness, career, lifestyle, self-development and others mean to you. Often, you will find that by reviewing these eight areas, you will find something you have neglected over the previous twelve months.  As I've been helping my coaching clients with this exercise, it's surprising how many of them have discovered neglected areas. This is quite natural, given that once the year begins, we can easily get caught up in the day-to-day crises. Then we drift away from our good intentions.  In a perfect world, you would give yourself two months to reflect on these questions. To explore options and talk with your family. But don't worry if you have not started yet. There's still time to develop your thoughts and ideas. Now, some people have asked me where best to capture these ideas. Over the last two years, I've written these questions out in the back of my planning book. This book is always on or near my desk, and I have captured a lot more ideas this way than I ever did digitally.  So, my advice to you is: if you have not started this exercise, grab yourself a notebook, write the five questions as headings, and over the next few weeks, allow yourself to think about them and write down your ideas. Right now, it's less about what you write out and more about just getting everything written. And there's a very good reason for this.  If you do this exercise over a few weeks, what you will discover is that a theme will develop. Let me explain. Last year, I failed at getting back to fitness. During 2023, I reduced my exercise time to focus on writing Your Time Your Way. I also wasn't very careful about what I ate, and as a consequence, my weight ballooned.  Last year was supposed to be the year I got back into shape, and I failed miserably.  So, last year, as I went through these questions and captured ideas, I soon found that health and fitness were common themes. This meant when I began 2025, my focus was to get back into shape and not repeat the mistakes I made in 2024.  And it worked. I went from touching 88 kilograms (around 195 pounds) in January to where I wanted it to be—80 kilograms (around 176 pounds) by the middle of July.  To do that, I needed to change a few habits. Moving more and locking in a consistent exercise time were the obvious ones, but I also looked at my diet and removed all processed foods, replacing them with natural foods—real vegetables, fruit, and fresh meat.  Given that around Christmas and the end of the year are quiet times for me, I reviewed my calendar and moved a few things around to accommodate my new routine.  Another example, I remember two years ago, a client of mine was struggling to grow her side business. It was causing her a lot of frustration.  One idea she wrote down was to work harder on her business in the evenings, but every time she looked at that, she felt that was unrealistic, given that she had two sons, one aged three and the other five.  As we were talking about this, I asked her if she'd spoken with her husband about him possibly taking responsibility for the kids a few nights a week so she could “disappear” and work in her business.  She hadn't. So her “homework” that week was to discuss with her husband. The result was fantastic. He agreed to take full responsibility for the boys Monday through Friday, leaving her undisturbed time in the evening to work on her business.  Within six months, she was able to give up her full-time job and work solely on her own business. That reduced the need for her to work on her business in the evenings, and she returned to what many would describe as a normal work/life balance.  Yet none of this would have happened had she not spent some time thinking about the five questions. She would have carried on as before and become increasingly frustrated.  The theme she discovered was that she desperately wanted her side business to succeed, but to do so, she needed to spend more time on it. Time she thought she did not have.  As I've been going through my questions this year, I've seen a theme emerge: Less but better. Now I have a history with this quote from Dieter Rams, the celebrated industrial designer behind the German company Braun. He's been one of my design heroes for many years, and his Ten Principles of Good Design philosophy is ingrained in my thinking about everything I produce. Less but better bleeds into every area of my life, not just my professional life. For example, I have added to do a big clothes throw-out at the end of the year, leaving myself only with quality clothing made entirely of natural fibres—cotton, leather and wool.  These clothes and shoes are often more expensive than their man-made fibre equivalents, but they are also generally of a higher quality and last considerably longer.  So own fewer clothes, boots, and shoes, but better-quality items.  On a professional front, we've all heard a lot about how AI may, or may not, change the way we work. There's a lot of hype around at the moment, and it's not easy to see what's realistic and what is fantasy.  However, what's real is that AI is here and not going away. So, what could you do to keep up to date on what AI can do?  Maybe you could take a course, read a book, or do some self-learning beyond using ChatGPT or Claude to answer questions you used to ask Google.  Now, this may overlap with your self-development focus. It's certainly a fascinating topic to learn, and in doing so, you may find that you can save yourself a lot of time by creating a process that AI does automatically for you.  The reason many people struggle to find what they really want is that life gets in the way. Family and professional demands pull our attention all over the place, and when we do stop, we're exhausted and just want to flop into the easy chair, open our phones, and scroll through social media or the news.  One or two days like that is no problem, but it can rapidly become a habit, and we drift far from where we want to be.  Having a plan or a goal for the year gives you a roadmap for when you do become distracted and perhaps a little lost. You can use your weekly planning sessions to review your year-long plan, or, if you're doing well, review it every 3 to 6 months.  If you've been working on this since October, now's the time to begin filtering down your list. If you've found a theme or a few connected ideas, these will likely be the ones you highlight as potential goals to set.  This brainstorming exercise will generate many ideas, which will be too many to accomplish in 12 months. What you want to be doing now is looking for the ones that excite you and, more importantly, are realistic goals for the next 12 months.  Remember, you don't have to do all of what you wrote. You can keep this list in your digital notes by scanning your notebook pages into a note titled “Annual Planning 2025.” Then next October, you can come back to the list to see if you can move anything onto your 2027 list.  Over time, you create an extraordinary archive of ideas you've had over the years, and you will see how much you are accomplishing—you really are.  While I haven't filtered down my list yet, I'm already excited about 2026. It's going to be focused on less but with a lot more quality.  You will make decisions, experience setbacks and failures, and face frustrations, but by the end of 2026, I know you will be further ahead than you are today. And that's what it's all about.  Now go on and break open that notebook and ask yourself the five questions: What do you want to change about yourself? What do you want to change about your lifestyle? What would you like to change about the way you work? What can you do to challenge yourself? What goals could you set for next year? Good luck, and thank you for listening. It just remains for me now to wish you all a very productive week.

Welcome home! Fall has arrived in Southern California, with heavy rains heralding the change of seasons. Today’s first caller is wondering why he needs to get a building permit for his garage on his house, which is more than 60 years old. He makes a valid point: His garage is older than the city, so why is the city council being so obstructive?! The next caller has a concrete conundrum: Should he grind and smooth out the cracks of his patio, or have it fully replaced? To reroof, or not to reroof? Following a roof revision more than 30 years ago, a caller’s cave cover is now leaking, and she wants Dean to talk to her about layering asphalt shingles or any other cost-effective repair options she may have.

IWC Watches reached out to Blake and me to host a very special evening in San Francisco last week where we also recorded this podcast live for the 60 people in attendance. We focused on design, both in watches as well as considered things such as Dieter Rams' 10 Principles of Good Design. It was also an evening highlighting the Ingenieur which included having three museum pieces brought in from Schaffhausen! We had an original SL "Jumbo" from 1977, a "Test Watch" from 1993, and one from 1983. More on all of the above in this special episode. Thank you so much to IWC and for everyone who attended this very special evening. Blake and I both hope to continue to do these events and would love to come to a city near you!

How can Christian men and women live faithfully in a world confused over sexuality and gender? The answer is simple — amidst the moral chaos, embrace God's beautiful design for manhood and womanhood. Hosts Scott Brown and Jason Dohm discuss this subject with pastor Michael Clary. Clary's new book, God's Good Design, is a compelling call for men and women to reject the world's dark vision of sexual madness and fall in love with the way God made them. Today's young people are crying out for truthful answers of who they are, and this book gives an oasis of hope, explaining how God wonderfully creates each person as “male” or “female” (Gen. 1:27).

Stephanie welcomes Elizabeth Urbanowitz to discuss how we can equip our children with a biblical understanding of sexuality and gender. Discover the tools you need to disciple your child with purpose and grace! Helping Your Kids Know God's Good Design is a thoughtful, timely, and practical resource that will coach you through some of the most foundational conversations you can have with your children. It's more crucial than ever to talk with our children about God's design for sexuality and gender. As our culture's understanding of human identity shifts, Christian parents, grandparents, and mentors are called to be the primary voices shaping the next generation's worldview on these sensitive topics. Ten years ago, few would have imagined discussing sexuality or gender identity with young children. However, today's culture often defines people by their desires and feelings, leading to confusion over what it means to be human. The Christian response is to provide clarity rooted in God's Word—especially around key biblical themes such as being made in God's image (Psalm 139) and understanding redemption through Christ. Elizabeth Urbanowitz emphasizes starting conversations on sexuality and gender with children as young as four or five years old. The earlier parents introduce these topics, the more their children see them as trustworthy “experts” (she calls this the “Founder's Effect”). Just as a child memorizes basic math facts before tackling algebra, simple biblical truths learned early become anchors for discerning truth from cultural messages later in life. Children encounter issues like sexual abuse, pornography, and gender confusion younger than ever. Even adults without children are likely to influence young people as teachers, mentors, or relatives. It's essential to have clear, simple language to explain: Bodies are valuable and designed by God. Private parts deserve protection and privacy. If children disclose uncomfortable experiences, adults should listen, seek understanding, and reinforce these truths with compassion. Elizabeth draws everything back to scripture. The Bible presents God as our Designer, and His design (for our bodies, marriage, sexuality) is the wise and loving blueprint for human flourishing. When addressing hard questions—like same-sex marriage, gender identity, or masturbation—parents are encouraged to reference what God has revealed, not just their opinions. To help children remember key truths, parents can teach simple catechism-like phrases. For example, “Marriage is one man and one woman becoming one flesh for life,” or “God designed us as male or female—God's design is good.” These become invaluable tools when children are confronted with cultural lies. A major point is that kindness doesn't mean agreement. Being compassionate means loving others and telling the truth (not just making them feel good). Children should be taught to respect and care for everyone, including those living differently, without affirming what's unbiblical. For parents of older children or teens, start with prayer, then listen to what they've already learned. Acknowledge any shortcomings, gently offer biblical truths, and focus on building a trusting, ongoing dialogue. God's Word is sufficient for every generation. Parents, family members, and the faith community play vital roles in helping kids navigate a confusing world. Start early, speak simply, root everything in scripture, and model truth with kindness and courage. Take time this week to consider what “building a biblical foundation” practically looks like for the children in your life. What is one conversation you can start, or one phrase you can teach, to prepare them for these challenging but crucial topics?

MORE ABOUT ELIZABETH URBANOWITZ Elizabeth Urbanowicz is a follower of Jesus Christ who is passionate about equipping kids to understand the truth of the Christian worldview. She holds a B.S. from Gordon College in Elementary Education and Spanish, an M.S.Ed. from Northern Illinois University in Literacy Education, and an M.A. in Christian Apologetics from Biola University. Elizabeth began her professional career as an elementary teacher in a Christian school. Several years into her teaching experience, Elizabeth realized that despite being raised in Christian homes, attending a Christian school, and being active in church, her students thought more like the culture than like Christ. Elizabeth began searching for curricular materials that would equip her students to think critically, helping them discover that Christianity is the worldview that lines up with reality. After not finding any materials that met this need, she began creating a curriculum for her students. Elizabeth first taught Foundation Comparative Worldview Curriculum as an after-school class for third through fifth graders, and the results were incredible! Students were transformed from passive recipients of information to active evaluators of every message they receive. Parents and teachers alike noticed the impact these materials had on students' media consumption, academic achievement, and everyday habits. This transformation lasted beyond the elementary years and guided students' thinking in junior high and beyond. Elizabeth now works full-time on developing comparative worldview and apologetics resources for children. Her goal is to prepare the next generation to be lifelong critical thinkers and, most importantly, lifelong disciples of Jesus Christ. https://foundationworldview.com/about/meet-the-founder  We invite you to check out the first episode of each of our series, and decide which one you will want to start with.
