Summary
If there's one topic I've been asked more about this year, it's for us to do a big ol' 101 on what the heck is the liturgical calendar, and how Haley and I recognize it in our lives.
Some of you know that a few years ago I was confirmed in the Anglican church after more than 3 decades in a purely evangelical, non-denominational framework, and Haley has been a Catholic for not quite a decade. So, neither of us grew up in a liturgical setting, but we're both now are immersed in that world (albeit in different ones from each other).
But both these expressions of Christianity follow what's called the "liturgical calendar," so in this 3-part series, we're gonna get into it — and how you can participate as big or as small as you want, no matter your faith tradition.

| 0:00.0 | This is simple. I'm Tish Oxen Rider. |
| 0:04.0 | So if you've been listening for most of this year, you know that we do deep dives around here, where we take three or four episodes |
| 0:14.2 | to explore one topic in more detail. |
| 0:16.6 | Basically, it's like having one conversation |
| 0:18.7 | for an hour and a half to two hours, |
| 0:20.4 | and then we just break it up into bite-size 30 minute episodes. |
| 0:24.3 | We typically do whatever's of interest to us, which makes sense because that's what we've been thinking |
| 0:28.9 | about, so that's what we have actual things to say about. Well in this episode, Haley Stewart and I are starting a deep dive that we both have a lot of interest in and it's of huge interest to you guys, the listeners. If there's one topic I've been asked more about this year, it's for us to do a big old |
| 0:45.3 | 101 on what the heck is the liturgical calendar and how the two of us recognize it in our lives. |
| 0:51.7 | Some of you know that a few years ago I was confirmed in the Anglican Church after more |
| 0:55.6 | than three decades plus in a purely evangelical non-denominational framework and Haley has |

| 1:06.7 | liturgical what's called High Church setting but we're now both immersed in that |
| 1:11.6 | world albeit in different ones from each other. |
| 1:14.6 | But both of these expressions of Christianity follow what's called the liturgical calendar, so in |
| 1:19.1 | this three-part series we're going to get into it. More on all this in just a second, but first, next Monday, so that's November 5th, 2018. |
| 1:28.0 | There's a 48-hour flash sale for the ultimate homemaking bundle that happened this past spring. And in that bundle you'll |
| 1:34.4 | find my course called The Essentials. This is a short actionable course that's a 101 of |
| 1:39.7 | seven life foundations. Basically if you feel like the chaos outweighs the calm in your life, |
| 1:44.8 | this course helps you first take care of these basics. |
| 1:48.2 | It's basically a 101 in adulting, which really we all need sometimes. So if this is you you'll probably want to |
| 1:54.6 | grab it in this bundle sale because even if you don't care about all the other stuff |
