Motherhood Redeemed (with Kimberly Cook)

My guest this week is Kimberly Cook, podcaster and author of Motherhood Redeemed: How Radical Feminism Betrayed Maternal Love. Kimberly and I chat about her personal experience of feminism as well as some of the history of the feminist movement in the United States. Her book explores all of these themes and an eye-opening but encouraging read for Catholic women of all ages and stages of life and motherhood. You can learn more about Kimberly Cook and her work at her website.

At the end of today’s show, I answer a question from listener Katelyn who asks about fitness routines in the new year. 

In this show, I also share about The Word, the upcoming Catholic Bible Summit.

My newest book is one that I wrote with Dan, the Manual for Marriage, a beautiful resource for every couple. In it, Dan and I share reflective essays on marriage and family life, but it also features a large collection of prayers, Scripture passages, hymns, and stories from the saints that will encourage and support you in your married relationship.

Megan Madden

Megan Madden is a homeschooling mother with a passion for writing and speaking on authentic femininity and virtuous womanhood. In 2017, she began graduate studies in marriage and family at the International Theological Institute in Austria. After moving to Kraków, Poland to work with university students, Megan more personally continued her research on the complementarity of man and woman, particularly on the question of what it means to be a woman. She delved into the study of renowned Catholic writers on women such as St. Edith Stein, Gertrude von le Fort, Alice von Hildebrand, St. John Paul II, and St. Teresa of Avila.

The results were the development of Megan’s online ministry A Mother’s Lace, as well as speaking opportunities and her book with Ascension: Mary, Teach Me to Be Your Daughter.

Megan lives outside of Oxford, England with her husband, who is a lecturer in theology, and their five children.
