Her Theology
Faithful. Truthful. Unapologetically Biblical.
Her Theology is where deep biblical truth meets real life.
Hosted by Cass, this podcast invites Christian women to move beyond surface-level faith by diving into rich theology, culture, ethics, and discipleship. Through honest conversations with theologians, authors, and leaders, we ask hard questions, wrestle with Scripture, and seek practical wisdom for everyday living.
If you're hungry for gospel-centered conversations that will sharpen your mind, strengthen your heart, and embolden your faith — you're in the right place.
New episodes every Wednesday.
Her Theology
Christian Motherhood: Calling, Capacity, and Contentment with Leah (Raising Disciples)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What does it biblically look like to be a mum—especially when you’re tired, overwhelmed, and pulled in ten directions? Leah (Raising Disciples) talks practical discipleship, routines that reduce chaos, decision-making around work vs home, and a biblical framework for discipline that aims at restoration (not payback).
Key takeaways
- Discipleship at home has two streams: explicit (Bible teaching) and implicit (culture, modelling, prayer, everyday life).
- “Consistently average” discipleship is often more faithful than sporadic intensity.
- Reading the 'actual' Bible with kids matters long-term: habit, exposure, and letting God’s Word do the work.
- Routine can be freeing when the goal is minimising chaos (not performing womanhood online).
- Work vs staying home isn’t a righteousness scoreboard—start with faithfulness, motives, and realistic time/energy.
- Discipline is necessary and often painful, but it should move toward restoration, not disconnection.
- Train (90%) + discipline (cements) beats living in constant consequence-mode.

According to Warwick Cairns, the author of How to Live Dangerously, kidnapping in the United States is so rare that a child would have to be outside unsupervised for, on average, 750,000 years before being snatched by a stranger.
