He understands the chaos of motherhood. And he joins you in everything―whether you’re scrubbing the floor, nursing a fussy newborn, or driving to soccer practice. Catherine McNiel invites you to connect with God right here, in the sacred mundane of every mothering moment. Read the first chapter here!

Biblical discernment is not optional for the Believer—it is imperative! Join me today as I talk about five ways you can learn to become a Berean, and teach your children to do the same. Listen in!

Bereans Wanted: A Conversation About the Shack #433
I read The Shack shortly after it was released. A dear friend suggested it to me—and I read it cover to cover on a flight from Portland to North Carolina. I won’t lie: I was drawn in by the story. As a woman who has struggled square suffering with the goodness of God, The Shack touched my heart. William “Paul” Young did a great job of showing the grace and love of God—His heart for a hurting and lost world. That said, I could never recommend the book or the movie to anyone unless I was prepared to have the conversation I’m having with you today on the podcast. Listen in!
