EP# 334 - What Inspired the Shack Sequel: Death Row, Grief, and Redemption - Audio
In this conversation, Catherine sits down with William Paul Young, author of The Shack, to hear the story behind writing Return to the Shack: A Journey into Redemption (releasing October 6, 2026). Paul pulls back the curtain on the creative process, shares how his nine years of friendship with men on death row became the unexpected seed for the sequel, and talks honestly about grief, forgiveness, and what it looks like to keep living after a life-changing encounter with God. In this episode you'll hear: - How Paul went from "I'll never write a sequel" to 40,000 words in 8 days - The death row friendships that inspired the story's redemption arc - What good editing actually does to a creative work - How his characters "take over" and surprise even him - Why he describes Return to the Shack as "a choir" compared to the original's "soloist" To support the ministry with tax-deductible donations: https://catherinetoon.com/support/ Marked by Love, Revised & Expanded Edition is here: #1 Best Seller & #1 New Release in our category!

EP# 333 - What Communion Really Means | The Lost Revelation of the Early Church - Audio
What if communion was never meant to be a lifeless ritual, but a living encounter with the Person of Love Himself? In this episode, Dr. Catherine Toon invites you back into the early church’s lost revelation of communion as intimacy, union, and shared life with Christ and one another. As Catherine shares vulnerably from her own journey out of religious burnout, she unpacks how religion has toxified powerful spiritual practices, like communion, and how Jesus gently restores them as gifts to nourish your body, soul, and spirit. You’ll discover that communion is not about performing for God or “qualifying” yourself, but about receiving the finished work of Christ and remembering that you are already included in the circle of Love. In this episode, you’ll learn: - How the early church practiced communion as a joyful “love feast,” not a cold, symbolic exercise - Why communion is meant to be a living encounter with Christ’s presence, not a fear-based check-box - How to move from complacency and religious trauma into real intimacy and union with God - Why communion proclaims Jesus’ finished work over your shame, unworthiness, and exhaustion - How to begin reclaiming communion in your everyday life—slow, tender, and deeply personal with Jesus Whether you’ve been hurt by religion, feel disconnected from church, or simply hunger for a deeper experience of God’s love, this conversation will help you rediscover communion as a doorway into the heart of the Trinity. You’re not on the outside trying to get in—you’re already welcomed to the table.

EP# 332 - When Church Leaders Fail: A Grace-Filled Response to the Bethel Controversy | Bill Vanderbush - Audio
When the Bethel church crisis hit the headlines, many believers were left asking, “Can I trust church leaders at all anymore?” If you feel shaken by scandals in places you once loved, this conversation is for you. In this episode of Perspectives with Catherine Toon, Catherine sits down with long-time friend and minister Bill Vanderbush to explore a grace-filled response to the Bethel church crisis and the wider wave of Christian exposure culture online. Together they unpack what happens when church leaders fail, how pruning and discipline can still be love, and how to walk in discernment without losing tenderness or hope. What you’ll learn: - How to keep your faith anchored in Jesus when leaders you admire fall. - The difference between healthy honor and destructive idolatry in Christian culture. - Why “exposure channels” can’t heal victims and what real restoration requires. - Practical ways to confront abuse and deception without becoming bitter or cynical. Catherine and Bill also talk candidly about victims and victimizers, the misuse of “culture of honor,” the branding of Bethel, and how to navigate public repentance, justice, and mercy in a social media age. If you’re tired of fear-based takes yet still hungry for truth and accountability, this conversation will help you process the noise and locate the heart of Jesus again.
