The episode you're about to listen to was released back when the mere Christians podcast was called the call to mastery

Now if you love mere Christians, you're still going to love these older episodes because the majority of each

conversation focuses on how the gospel influences the work of our guests. With that disclaimer out of the way, please enjoy the episode.

Hey everybody, welcome to the call to mastery. I'm Jordan Rayner. This is a

podcast for Christians who want to do their most exceptional work for the glory of

God and the good of others.

Every week, I host a conversation with a Christian who's pursuing world-class

mastery of their craft.

We talk about their path to mastery, their daily habits, and how the Gospel of Jesus Christ influences their work.

Today's guest is Spencer Lewis. He's a world-class carpenter with well over a decade two decades

worth of experience practicing his craft. He also stumbled into being a YouTube celebrity kind of by accident with more than 10 million

views on videos that teach you from everything about installing doors to renovating basboards all things I am

wholly inept at doing. Spencer and I said that we had a terrific conversation

about why he's chosen to resist opportunity to grow his business.

Stay small, stay a business of one person.

We talked about the difference between excellence and perfection and where the line is there and

how we deal with that line and we talked about the significance of

Genesis 2 showing us a god who works with his hands. I think you guys are going to love this

conversation with my new friend, Spencer Lewis. Spencer, long time listener, first time caller.

Welcome to the caller,

call her.

Welcome to the Call to the mastery.
