In this episode, we are joined by The Rev. Aaron and Elizabeth Ross. We met Aaron and Elizabeth at the consecration of Bishop Julia Whitworth in the Diocese of Massachusetts. Our shared need for childcare at the bishop's seating made us fast friends. And we've continued to bond over the delights of parenting two young children. Aaron is the curate at St. John the Evangelist, Duxbury. Elizabeth is a spiritual director and writer with an emphasis on noticing sacred light within the spiritual journey, creative practice, and family life.

01:00 The Importance of the Physical World in Scripture

04:06 Origin Story of Bedtime Chapel

05:30 Transitioning from Christmas to Epiphany in the Home

08:44 Practical Tips for Spiritual Practice in the Home Nurturing Vulnerability
