For a while I’ve had folks telling me I need to start a newsletter or a podcast with some of my faith related writing and reflections. I started Functioning Faith newsletter over on notd.io but struggled to define what I’m doing so I took a break over the holidays to try to pin things down. My latest attempt explores today’s feast of the Desert Mothers (Sarah, Theodora, and Syncletica) with a slightly different angle than previous content. Let me know which you prefer. https://notd.io/notes/6239800789827584_1_1767636374102/celebrating%20the%20desert%20mothers:%20sarah,%20theodora,%20&%20syncletica

Celebrating the Desert Mothers: Sarah, Theodora, & Syncletica - Notd.io

Today (5 January) the calendar names three Desert Mothers: Sarah, Theodora, and Syncletica. They lived on the edges of fourth‑ and fifth‑century Christian life, practicing prayer, hospitality, and stubborn attention in quiet places. For busy people, their witness is practical: small, reliable habits that protect interior life and make generosity possible.
