How is Parenting Sacramental?

Parenting breaks us and build us up, and somewhere in the mess of gathering around toddler tables and in the unutterable losses, God is with us. Sacraments are outward and visible signs of inward spiritual grace -- something we can see, taste, smell, touch, and hear -- that point us to a wild divine pattern interrupting our lives. Join us for a powerful conversation on how parenting and caregiving can be a sacramental act, and how to look for everyday moments that are actually seeped in the Holy, with Laura Kelly Fanucci, a theologian, writer, mother, and founder of Mothering Spirit. CONTENT NOTE: In the last 10 minutes of this episode, there is discussion of miscarriage, premature delivery, and infant loss. Like what you hear?We'd love your support on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/AndAlsoWithYouPodcastThere's all kinds of perks including un-aired live episodes, Zoom retreats, and mailbag episodes for our Patreons!Keep up with us on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/andalsowithyoupodcast/ More about Father Lizzie:PRE-ORDER HER BOOK: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/762683/god-didnt-make-us-to-hate-us-by-rev-lizzie-mcmanus-dail/https://www.instagram.com/rev.lizzie/https://www.tiktok.com/@rev.lizzieJubilee Episcopal Church in Austin, TX - JubileeATX.org  More about Mother Laura:https://www.instagram.com/laura.peaches/https://www.tiktok.com/@mother_peachesSt. Paul's Episcopal Church in Pittsburgh, PA More about our guest, theologian Laura Kelley Fanucci:Website: https://laurakellyfanucci.comMothering Spirit: https://motheringspirit.comSubstack: https://laurakellyfanucci.substack.com@thismessygrace on instagram!  Theme music:"On Our Own Again" by Blue Dot Sessions (www.sessions.blue). New episodes drop Mondays at 7am EST/6am CST!
