Summary: <br> <br> Parenting is one of the greatest privileges, and one of the greatest responsibilities, that God has given to human beings. If you are a parent you know how hard parenting can be, and how tough it is to feel like you're being a good spiritual leader to your kids as well. But even the little mundane tasks can be used by God for His glory and for the good of your kids.<br> <br> In this episode, our host Kenny interviews author and blogger Catherine McNiel about viewing parenthood (more specifically, motherhood) as a spiritual discipline. The busyness of parenting feels like it encroaches on our ability to practice spiritual disciplines, but the tasks of being a good parent themselves can be spiritual and sacred if we choose to view them that way.<br> <br> As a mother of three, Catherine knows how it feels to miss out on your "quiet time" with the Lord. She even confesses to occasionally escaping to the bathroom, just to get a few minutes of alone time. But what if we viewed the mundane tasks of parenting and motherhood as being spiritual? How would that change our lives and our families?<br> <br> Get a copy of Catherine McNiel's New Book: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Long-Days-Small-Things-Motherhood/dp/1631466437/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1492880505&sr=8-1&keywords=catherine+mcneil" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Long Days of Small Things</a><br> <br> Check out Catherine McNiel's website: <a href="http://catherinemcniel.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">CatherineMcNiel.com</a>
