Living Life Intentionally
Featuring Steve Lawson of Monk Manual
How do we live intentionally, striving not solely for productivity but also for purposeful flourishing?
In this episode, Steve Lawson explores how when we rush through life, we can miss moments that matter most. Steve’s conversation with Katie also offers insights on how to notice God at work in our daily lives and shows how the Church’s liturgical calendar and monastic orders provide a perfect template for intentional living.
Steve Lawson is a whole person productivity coach and founder of the Monk Manual. After spending a decade pushing himself to every limit in his work alongside his colleagues and friends, he slowed down, looked around, and realized something was wrong. Modern productivity had given him all the right answers to the wrong questions and was robbing him of the two things he was actually seeking—peace and fulfillment. Determined to find a way of life that accounts for the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—Steve began a soulful journey that led him to launch Monk Manual.
