All In Ben Hammond: Breathing Life Into Sculpture
When the Temple Square renovation is complete, four new sculptures by artist Ben Hammond will welcome visitors to the grounds. Hammond began his career apprenticing under a sculptor known for crafting busts for the NFL Hall of Fame. Since then, his meticulous talent has led to creating Hall of Fame busts himself and sculpting a statue of Martha Hughes Cannon for the U.S. Capitol. On this week's episode, Ben shares how his life and career have been shaped—piece by piece—by the Master Sculptor.

"I don't want to live my life in fear. I don't want to be obsessed with politics and everything that's bad in the world. I want to focus on things of an eternal nature. There's some sadness that happens when you're separated in this life but to know that I've been redeemed by Jesus Christ—nothing can happen in this life that can take that away from me unless I choose for it to happen."
