What if the Christian home is meant to be more than functional—or even beautiful—but truly healing? In this episode of The Parish Life Podcast, Nolan Brown is joined by Presbytera Stacey Dorrance, Laura Tucker, and Hannah Brown for a thoughtful conversation about the home as a place of peace, formation, and spiritual order.
Presbytera Stacey shares her story as a priest’s wife, mother, and ministry leader, and introduces Our Home as Sanctuary, an eight-week course for women rooted in Orthodox theology and practical wisdom. Together, the group reflects on how order and beauty in the home shape our inner lives, how perfectionism undermines joy, and why finishing the work—preparation, execution, and cleanup—matters both spiritually and practically.
