Faith in the Folded Laundry: Finding the Sacred in the Mundane

The Struggle: We often think of "spiritual growth" as something that happens in the quiet corners of a sanctuary or during a mountain-top retreat. We wait for the big moments—the powerful worship song or the profound sermon—to feel close to God. But what happens on Tuesday morning when the sink is full of dishes, the inbox is overflowing, and the laundry pile looks like a mountain?
