I am so excited to have author Kayla Craig (@kayla_craig @liturgiesforparents) on the Still Becoming Podcast to talk about her new book: ππ° ππͺπ¨π©π΅ ππ©π¦πͺπ³ ππ’πΊ: π ππ°πππ¦π€π΅πͺπ°π― π°π§ ππ³π’πΊπ¦π³π΄ π’π―π₯ ππͺπ΅πΆπ³π¨πͺπ¦π΄ π§π°π³ ππ’π³π¦π―π΅π΄. In this layered conversation we talk about the realities involved in parenting, the pressures and the needs we have. And we discuss the ways that prayer can be used as an exhale, as a comfort, even an anchor - rather than another thing on your to-do list. This conversation is real, authentic, and inviting - and I think that is a beautiful way to talk about prayer. I loved hearing what Kayla shared, and the gentleness that she addresses this topic with. She embodies a warmth and welcome that makes this topic feel like a a release valve for all the pressure you may feel as a parent, or with the idea of prayer. I hope you walk away with more gentleness for yourself, and more hope as you grapple with the everyday that is yours.β£
