FoC 173: The Newly Catholic Life and Lent in 2022 with Tsh Oxenreider

Before we dive into today’s episode, we wanted to remind you that it’s time to sign up for our summer bookish pilgrimage to England! And if your registration and deposit are received by February 18th, you’ll get $350 off the trip! Check out the details here and give us a holler if you have any questions.

We have a wonderful episode for you today touching on conversion, parenting, and Lent! Tsh Oxenreider is joining us and we always love having her on the show.

Tsh is a bestselling author and beloved podcaster. She lives in central Texas with her husband, three kids, and very cute dog but it wasn’t that long ago that her whole family packed their bags and traveled the globe for a year! She teaches literature and also crafts a popular weekly newsletter for thousands of subscribers. Tsh is also celebrating her one year anniversary as a Catholic! And she has a brand new book out, Bitter & Sweet: A Journey into Easter.

In this episode we’re talking about what it’s been like for her family to enter the Church during a pandemic, the challenges of being new converts, raising teenagers (all three of us are parenting teens now! What?!), and how we’re feeling about Lent this year. Grab yourself something warm (Hot cocoa? Hot toddy?) and enjoy the episode!
