Catherine McNiel: Hope in This Messy Abundant World

“I think that true hope, that thing inside our spirits that we are clinging to and growing towards, with God’s help, is what we cling to in the deepest darkest times. It’s what keeps us going until the dawn, until spring.” — Catherine McNiel

Listen in as Women in the Academy and Professions associate Caroline Triscik interviews Catherine McNiel. In this conversation, we discuss personal spiritual disciplines, the challenge to stay attentive in the midst of a busy life, the importance of community, and other gems found in her most recent book. Through a timely social media connection over our shared admiration of Luci Shaw’s work, as well as the quote from St. Julian of Norwich, this interview with Catherine came to be. Join us as Catherine shares her hope for new life and restoration that is found in Jesus- a hope that is not idyllic, but recognizes the depth of suffering and injustice in the world.
