Grace in the Mundane: Ruth Chou Simons’s 100 Ways to Live Beautifully

Join Shannon Bream as she welcomes back beloved artist, author, and speaker Ruth Chou Simons to discuss her beautiful new book, This Moment Matters: 100 Ways to Cultivate a Grace Laced Life. Nearly 20 years after launching her Grace Laced blog with the simple mission of finding God’s grace in the everyday, Ruth has distilled a lifetime of practice into 100 warm, practical, and genuinely doable ways to stop sleepwalking through your days. From scripture memory stations on your kitchen counter to cooking with your kids to taking back just one hour from mindless scrolling, Ruth makes the case that a grace-laced life isn’t about being more creative or more organized, it’s about adopting a posture of the heart that recognizes every ordinary moment as an opportunity to see God at work. A mom of six boys who has walked through cancer diagnoses, spine surgeries, and real hardship, Ruth speaks from experience rather than theory, offering hope to anyone who feels too overwhelmed to even know where to start. Her answer: just pick one small thing. Because small choices, made with intention, can change everything.
