Sacred Ordinary Days Podcast, S1|E14: Sending + Travel Companions

Sacred Ordinary Days, S1|E14: SendingEven though it’s just in the 60s here in Seattle, I’m officially two weeks into my summer sabbatical.

And while I’m taking a break from blogging and social media through August, I had to chime in to let you know that our latest episode of the Sacred Ordinary Days Podcast is available for your listening pleasure! (Technically it’s been up for a week, but you know, sabbatical.)

This episode is really special because not only are we “sending” you into the season ahead—Ordinary Time, which just so happens to be the longest season of the year—we also recorded this episode in the same room! After we wrapped up the Sacred Ordinary Days Retreat in Waco, TX, at the end of May, we sat down together at Jenn’s dining room table, tea in hand, and after an enriching weekend with other members of the Sacred Ordinary Days tribe we couldn’t help but reflect on those who have joined us on our journeys.

In the season ahead, we want to invite you to do the same, too. Listen/download below or through iTunes or your favorite podcast app, and catch up on past episodes here. And if you like what you hear, would you mind sharing it with a friend and leaving a review? Jenn is giving away a free Sacred Ordinary Days Liturgical Day Planner (academic edition) once we reach 50, 75, and 100 reviews! Here’s how.

Sacred Ordinary Days Podcast, S1|E13: Ordinary Time + Vocation

Sacred Ordinary Days Podcast, S1|E13: Ordinary Time + Vocation

Now that the fifty days of Eastertide is over and the feast of Pentecost has passed, we find ourselves in Ordinary Time—the longest season of the year.

What better time to explore vocation—what we bring to the world—especially when it so often intersects with our work in the world and how we spend most of our days? Today on the Sacred Ordinary Days Podcast we’re talking about finding our calling and the Sacred threads that are uniquely woven through each of our lives.

Sacred Ordinary Days Podcast, S1|E12: Pentecost + the Holy Spirit

Sacred Ordinary Days Podcast, S1|E12: Pentecost + the Holy Spirt

The season of Eastertide is nearly over, with the feast of Pentecost this coming Sunday, marking its fiftieth and final day.

I love that the feast of Pentecost doesn’t begin another season but instead serves as a capstone and sending to the season of Eastertide. After a season filled with the celebration of new Life, the feast of Pentecost is a time to recognize the life that burns within and sends us with that flame to light the ordinary days that follow.

In today’s episode of the Sacred Ordinary Days Podcast Jenn and I are talking about the history of the feast of Pentecost and our experiences of the Holy Spirit, and also exploring prompts and practices to help us follow the thread of the Holy Spirit (or as I like to say, Sacred Guide) in our everyday lives.

Sacred Ordinary Days Podcast, S1|E11: Eastertide + Sabbath

Sacred Ordinary Days Podcast

For our final conversation during the season of Eastertide, Jenn and I sat down to explore one of my favorite spiritual practices: sabbath.

Because we’ve focused on everyday practices or practices centered on specific holidays or seasons so far on the Sacred Ordinary Days podcast, the practice of sabbath hasn’t come up much in our conversations. However, it’s undoubtedly the practice that has shaped me most over the past few years and continues to do so each time my sabbath day rolls around as well as in the days that follow as the gifts of sabbath find their way into my everyday life.

Learn more about why sabbath is meaningful to me in today’s new Sacred Ordinary Days podcast episode as well as what my practice looks like and, of course, how sabbath connects with the season of Eastertide. Listen/download below or through iTunes or your favorite podcast app, and catch up on past episodes here. And if you like what you hear, would you mind sharing it with a friend and leaving a review? Here’s how.

Sacred Ordinary Days Podcast, S1|E10: Eastertide + Celebration

Sacred Ordinary Days Podcast, S!|E10: Eastertide and Celebration

We’re just a week and a half into Eastertide, which means the celebration has only just begun!

This week on the Sacred Ordinary Days podcast we’re talking about the significance of celebrating Easter as an entire season rather than just a day and exploring what it’s like to celebrate well—both during Eastertide and in everyday life.
