This week, we're so happy to welcome Kayla Craig, author of Every Season Sacred and the voice of the Instagram account, Liturgies for Parents, to the podcast!

Kayla and Clayton are covering a topic that they're both passionate about, as parents themselves—how to bring the sacred into the every day moments and seasons of life.

Join us, and find a new way to engage with God and your family in whatever season you're in right now!

Top 5 Ways to Bring the Sacred into Every Day

  1. Change your habits each season. Create a "rule of life" each season to help your family stay on track and stay focused, while adjusting to the rhythms and needs of the season. Don't force the things that don't fit.
  2. Ask open-ended questions. Stay away from "yes" or "no" answers, to keep conversation flowing.
  3. Consider service and hospitality as spiritual. Don't overlook the ways you are already engaging. Start simply paying attention in those things and shifting your focus to the spiritual.
  4. Utilize breath prayers. Prayer doesn't have to be long to be meaningful! Take a breath, pray often, and you'll find those moments culminate in a day, week, and season more engaged with God in prayer.
  5. Play more. Consider this activity as a spiritual practice, too! Playing with your kids is likely the gateway to vulnerability and humility that parents need most.
