315 Rebecca Dougherty on Practicing the Presence of God

AMDG. Today we are joined by Rebecca Dougherty. For many years, Rebecca put her master's degrees in theology and education to work in teaching high school theology, but these days she’s putting her gifts to work homeschooling her own children and providing insight and knowledge via her podcast.  

Additionally, she and her brother Fr. Gregory Pine are set to release a series of podcasts through Ascension Press’ Catholic Classics podcast covering Brother Lawrence of the Resurrection’s The Practice of the Presence of God.  

We are able to get some insight into homeschooling from Rebecca and also get a preview about the writings of this 17th century monk and the wisdom they contain.
