Podcasts about tsh oxenreider

Tsh Oxenreider was raised Evangelical, and even felt called to do missionary work, but her desire to grow deeper in her faith began to lead her toward liturgy and the sacraments, which she began exploring through the Anglican tradition. However, she still felt as though God was calling her to deeper roots, and the more she prayed and discerned her way through her questions, the more she felt that the Holy Spirit was leading her to become Catholic.

We know it's important to consider the ideas we take in because they form us deeply, but have you ever considered how what you act out forms you just as deeply? The practices we choose to make habits (or the ones we unintentionally form as habits) shape the story we tell ourselves about God, ourselves, and our lives. So, we should all be asking: What practices help me tell a true, good, and beautiful Story to myself?I'm joined by Tsh Oxenreider to discuss how our practices should aim at our telos, how the historic Church has practiced this, and some of our favourite practices to bring into your home.Footnotes for this episodeThe Commonplace | Tsh's SubstackA Drink with a Friend | Tsh's PodcastTsh's Website | Books, Pilgrimages, ResourcesTsh's Rule of Life Course*First Light and Eventide* | Gratitude journal__________You can find the full episode notes here (including my footnotes for this episode).

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by podcaster, writer, and speaker John Edwards to share what I think is the most incredible conversion story ever. John breaks the record previously held by the wonderful Tsh Oxenreider as he speaks for a full hour unpacking his whirlwind conversion story: through a crippling drug addiction, successes and failures, ups and downs, and an incredible return to the Catholic Church through the grace of vulnerability and the sacraments John's story is absolutely breath-taking. I can promise you'll be on the edge of your seat throughout; and once you start, you won't be able to hit pause!

In this episode, Amber C. Haines, Seth Haines and I talk about their latest book The Deep Down Things, which details the story of Amber's abuse in the church and her decision to step away. In the despair of loss, confusion, and disillusionment, a lifeline of hope was given. Seth and Amber give us practices and examples of what it looks like to find hope in the times of despair. We talk about calling out the truth of who people are, setting signs that can point to hope, attachment to Christ through adoration, the embodied power of the eucharist, and practicals like trail running and gardening. Join us as we find signs of hope when we are in the pit of despair. Amber C. Haines is the author of Wild in the Hollow: On Chasing Desire and Finding the Broken Way Home and The Mother Letters.   Seth Haines is the author of Coming Clean (winner of a Christianity Today Book Award of Merit) and The Book of Waking Up. Together with Tsh Oxenreider, he cohosts the podcast A Drink with a Friend.   Amber and Seth have experience speaking at conferences and events.

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by author, podcaster, and Catholic convert Tsh Oxenreider to talk, first of all, about how the liturgies like those surrounding Advent drew her and her family deeper into the traditions and practices of Catholicism. And then about how each of us can deepen our own walk towards Christmas through embracing the season of Advent and the liturgical calendar. We talk about trying new Advent traditions (but also doing too much!), how to truly connect with the season through choosing the right Advent traditions to take on, how the Church calls us to embrace that time of waiting, and some of the more quirky celebrations we can take on during the Advent season. For non-Catholic Christians looking at us Catholics through the keyhole, for new Catholics looking to build some Advent liturgies into their lives, and for those Catholics who want to embrace the season even more, this is a conversation for everyone!And I really hope you enjoy!For more from Tsh visit her website.

Why hope? Because we have no other choice. A few years ago, Amber Haines entered a season of pain and despair when she resigned from her role as church curate and walked out those doors for the last time. Since then, she and Seth have been learning that hope requires a recognition of the deep-down things. Writers Seth, Amber, & Tsh Oxenreider talk about why we HAVE to hope, even when (especially when?) things are bleak.* Guest: Amber Haines* Hosts: authors Seth Haines and Tsh Oxenreider* Seth & Amber's new book, The Deep Down Things: Practices for Growing Hope in Times of Despair* Buy a round of drinks* Recommended reads* Merch* Go to Greece with Tsh* Why We're Required to Find Beauty* Orthodox Farmhouse Brewery* Patty Griffin: her self-titled 2019 album* God of the Garden, by Andrew Peterson* Ask a question!

Have you ever had the experience that life is flying by you at lightning speed and you're just an observer? The year is already over halfway done, you're not sure really what you've even done for the past six months. You're just along for the ride. But what if there was a daily practice that helped you grow in your ability to focus, to be grateful, and to be present? In this episode, I'm sitting down with Tsh Oxenreider. I love Tsh—her writing is absolutely fantastic, her podcast is one of the few that I listen to on long drives or as I work through mountains of laundry. And she's just written a brand new book called First Light and Eventide, which is a daily gratitude journal. When you open up the cover, she guides you through a short, twice-daily thought exercise to help you better focus on gratitude, grace, and greater truth.  If you're looking for a thoughtful way to bookend your day and you wish someone would just take you by the hand and help you navigate some of life's uncertainty, this letter is for you. Topics we talked about in this episode: Tsh's story as a Catholic convert The story behind her new book, First Light and Eventide: A Daily Gratitude Journal Tsh's advice for building the habit of morning and evening bookends How Tsh has encountered truth, goodness, and beauty on pilgrimage (and how you can join her on upcoming trips!) How stepping away from Instagram has impacted Tsh's ability to notice, focus, and be grateful Why Tsh curates playlists to pair with all of her books How Tsh lives out the feminine genius in her daily life Resources you should check out after listening to this episode: Pick up a copy of First Light and Eventide: A Daily Gratitude Journal Connect with Tsh through her newsletter Find out more about Tsh's upcoming pilgrimages Join us in bringing the newest Langr home with our adoption fundraiser Check out the sponsor for today's episode, Sacred Heart Tea, and use the code LETTERS to get 10% off your purchase at checkout Pick up a copy of the Letters to Women book (and use the code LETTERS at checkout to receive 15% off your purchase!)

Could lent, like advent, be the thing that pulls us out of the inertia of our everyday lives? We are leaning into this liturgical season and asking God to show us what He has to offer. When our relationship with Christ suffers, do we point first to good things that may have overcrowded our time and space? What is standing in the way between me and Jesus? For me, it could be Pinterest and thin mints.

Overtime, we've seen that the practices of Lent have been adjusted to fit culture, but the tradition remains strong! This season of Lent is something many of us didn't know growing up. Today, Karrie takes us deeper into the meaning of this special season and how it can enrich our faith! Karrie goes through the different practices that are prayer, fasting, and giving, and enlightens us on the important concept of depriving ourselves from something to then draw nearer to the Lord. She poses the powerful question, "What can you give to the Lord during this Lent season?"
