Hey friends—welcome back to The Formed Life Podcast! Today’s conversation is one that will meet you right where you are, especially if you’re feeling tired, stretched thin, or longing for a little more peace, presence, and spiritual grounding in your home. I’m joined by my dear friend Tricia Sherlin, the hands and heart behind Willow Oak Roots.
 
Tricia is a former special educator and mental health therapist turned adoring wife, subpar homemaker (her words, not mine!), and homeschooling mama. She creates thoughtful resources for spiritual formation, family discipleship, and intentional faith practices, helping bone-tired, spiritually hungry moms slow down and reconnect with God through simple rhythms and ancient traditions.
 
In this episode, we dive deep into Advent, talking about how this season invites us to wait, watch, and prepare our hearts for Jesus—not with hustle or pressure, but with holy stillness. Tricia shares how she cultivates rhythms of peace in her home, how to practice presence in a noisy world, and why creating spiritual habits with our kids shapes not only their faith but our own.
 
We explore what it looks like to build holy rhythms at home—rituals that form us slowly, gently, deeply. Tricia offers practical ideas for families, creative Advent traditions, and encouragement for moms who want to lead their families spiritually but feel overwhelmed.
 
If you’ve been looking for ways to make your home a place of rest, worship, and connection, this episode will give you hope and soul-breathing space.
