In this episode of the Only Love Today Podcast, I talk with Cathy Garland, author of Revelationship, about what it looks like to move beyond religious knowledge and experience a real, personal relationship with God. Cathy shares honestly about her own journey through deconstruction and reconstruction of faith, discovering her identity in Christ, and learning to recognize God’s presence in the ordinary moments of motherhood. Together, we talk about practical ways to deepen our dependence on God, the importance of silence and listening in prayer, what God’s names reveal about His character, and how moms can return to the truth of who God is when doubt or suffering makes faith feel uncertain. Cathy’s central encouragement is simple: invite God into the ordinary moments of your life and learn to recognize His presence there.

Knowing God is more than knowing theology.Good theology matters, but God wants us to know Him personally and experience His presence in our everyday lives. 2. Motherhood can become a place where we encounter God.The ordinary routines, interruptions, struggles, and joys of motherhood can reveal God's character and invite us to depend on Him. 3. Doubt doesn't have to be the end of faith.Deconstruction and reconstruction can become part of a deeper journey of faith when we are willing to return to the root of who God is. 4. Silence creates space to hear from God.Sometimes deepening our relationship with God means becoming quiet enough to listen instead of filling every moment with noise. 5. Your identity begins with who God says you are.When circumstances, motherhood, or doubt make us question ourselves, we can return to the truth of our identity in Christ. 6. Invite God into the ordinary.You don't have to wait for a dramatic spiritual experience. Look for God's presence right where you are.
