And so what they’re seeking is you and a stranger who you’re talking to through your iPhone.”
Gracy Olmstead on pursuing the true goods of life and living with an attitude of stewardship and affection
(Life, Liberty, and Law) Conserving, encountering, or rekindling the true goods of life amidst uncertainty seems like just the common-sense thing to do. But what makes the “good life” good? And how might we strive to come through this moment in time to live in truly better and perhaps even a more humane way? Gracy Olmstead joins Tom Shakely and Noah Brandt on "Life, Liberty, and Law" to consider these questions and more. Gracy grew up in rural Idaho and now lives in Northern Virginia. Gracy is a wife and mother who writes on farming, localism, and family, and publishes the monthly newsletter Granola, on these themes and more. Gracy’s writing has appeared in many places, including The New York Times, The Washington Post, The American Conservative, National Review, and Christianity Today.
