How do we order our lives? How do we find order when living in tumultuous times? Is that even possible? Today we’re chatting with the lovely Tsh Oxenreider about what it means to live intentionally in 2020.

Tsh lives with her husband Kyle and three kids in central Texas. Her blog and her first podcast were followed religiously by both of us in the early days of blogging and podcasting. Since then she continues to amaze us. Tsh is constantly creating, reflecting, and growing. She’s now a bestselling author with several books to her name and her current podcasting endeavor is The Good List (a must listen!) Her newest book is Shadow and Light: A Journey into Advent.

In this episode we talk about the concept of crafting a rule of life. Inspired by the ancient Rule of St. Benedict, creating your own rule of life helps you live with intention and prioritize what is truly important to you. It can prevent getting swept away into all the noise and demands that surround us! But what would a rule of life look like in chaotic and, dare we say, unprecedented 2020? We have thoughts on that, too!

It’s a great conversation so grab a cup of coffee and enjoy!
