Did you listen to the first episode of the Sacred Ordinary Days podcast last week?
After last week’s introductory episode, we’re ready to dig in. This week we’re starting right where we are with the season of Advent—the first season of the liturgical year—and are sharing favorite themes and practices as we embrace the invitations of the current liturgical season and prepare for Christmas, the season to come.
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 on social media and leaving a review? It helps spread the word! Here’s how to leave a review on iTunes.

How has practicing Advent impacted your spiritual journey and the way you celebrate Christmas? What Advent traditions do you have in your family? Maybe using the categories of Spirit, Body, Mind, Relationships, Home, and Work from the workbook might be helpful as you begin to think about how to embody this season. We’d love to hear what you come up with!
