Gather Moms

This one is for every new mom in the thick of year one and every seasoned mom who needs to remember how sweet and hard it all was. Kate and Rebecca sit down with Jackie Castro, a familiar face from their student ministry days who has grown up, chased her dreams across the country, landed in New Hampshire, and is now a first-time mama to almost-one-year-old James.

Caroline Shankle is a 22-year-old author, Texas A&M graduate student, and daughter of bestselling author and Big Boo podcast host Melanie Shankle.

This is the episode that will change how you think about every show your kids watch, every song they hear, and every conversation happening on the school bus. Kate and Rebecca welcome back return guest Amy Davison, Vice President of Mama Bear Apologetics — one of the most trusted resources for Christian moms who want to raise kids that think critically, love biblically, and stand firm in the faith.
