What Does a Life of Purpose Look Like...To Me? | I Built It in Clay!

I want to share this honestly — this piece stretched me more than I thought it would. This video is me working through an idea, not teaching a finished answer. It’s my interpretation, my clay-sketch - me in discovery mode. If you stick with me, Part 2 will bring the refining and the release. ..... This is Part 1 of Making With Meaning: PURPOSE (Discovery Phase). Part 2 — the glaze, the refine, and the reveal — is coming in two weeks. So I'm asking, "What does purpose look like when it's actually being lived out?" I built a handmade pitcher — layer by layer — and each texture tells the story. This piece was shaped by biblical principles of purpose and formation, even where Scripture isn’t named directly....just had to put that out there! ;P .... #MakingWithMeaning #Purpose #ArtWithMeaning ——— ABOUT THIS VIDEO ——— Instead of defining purpose, I asked a different question — and then I built the answer in clay. Each layer represents something about how purpose is formed in a life: The foundation — built on what holds us steady Seeds planted before growth is visible Hard seasons that shape what we carry Crossroads where we choose to move forward Renewed strength through steady faithfulness The handle — because a pitcher exists to pour No finished piece in this video — just the discovery, the building, and the story behind every mark. ——— TIMESTAMPS ——— 0:00 Intro & Orientation 1:08 - The Better Question 3:16 - Foundation: The Conifer Seed 4:30 - 1st Layer: The Early Markers - Planting SEEDs 5:38 - 2nd Layer: The Dry Season: Strengthen through tough times 7:07 - 3rd Layer: Finding Rhythm: Renewed Strength through Maturity 7:54 - Top Layer + Handle: Purpose Pours 9:20 - Closing & What's Next ——— CONNECT ——— 🎨 Shop EXPRESSives Art: https://expressivesart.com Shop: Making With Meaning "makes": https://expressivesart.com/collection...
