In this episode of Theology on Purpose, Sarah welcomes returning guest Jen Pollock Michel to explore the beauty and practicality of a "rule of life." In her explanation, a rule is a grace-filled framework for living with intention, rather than a rigid, spiritual to-do list. A rule helps you align your daily habits with love for God and neighbor right in the midst of your real, everyday life. Jen shares how spiritual formation is already happening all around us, often without our awareness, and how a thoughtful rule of life can help us resist those cultural currents. Jen also shared great insights about the role of desire, the importance of community, and how constraints can actually lead to greater freedom, and peace. In this episode, you'll learn how to: Reframe a "rule of life" as a flexible, life-giving practice rather than a rigid system
Recognize the cultural forces already shaping your habits and desires
Begin building spiritual practices that fit your current season and limitations
Understand the role of desire in your spiritual formation (and how God reshapes it)
Experience greater freedom by reducing decision fatigue and focusing on what matters most
Lean into community as a vital part of sustaining your faith

Based on Paul's invitation in Colossians 3 to "clothe" ourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience, and love, Sarah explores what it means to intentionally put on the character of Christ—and why we do so not to earn God's love, but because we are already dearly loved.

In this episode, Sarah reflects on the limits we resist, the exhaustion that comes from pushing past them, and the invitation to embrace our finiteness as a place of spiritual growth.
