In this episode, Marnie and Mariel Davenport discuss how as an atheist, she was perfectly content to believe that God didn’t exist – but God had other plans.

Marnie and Mariel discuss: 

• How the label “atheist” didn’t keep God away.
• God’s heart to pursue us, even when we aren’t aware of Him or His pursuit. 
• How God used the imperfect humans from the stories in Genesis to meet Mariel's own brokenness. 
• How Mariel began to hear God speak to her as she read the Bible.
• When we read His Word every day and listen for Him, He anchors us with those very words.

As an atheist transformed by the Word of God, Mariel Davenport knows the power of seeking God through His Word. She is passionate about equipping women of all ages to tend their soul by the Word using her TEND method. As a trained Bible teacher with both Precepts Ministries and Community Bible Study, she has spent over 20 years in ministry. She also served as a mentor with Flourish Writers and Hope Writers. Now Mariel has a Bible study series releasing this fall with Our Daily Bread Publishers. Married for over 25 years to her college sweetheart and a retired homeschool mom of two grown sons, Mariel enjoys spicy salsa from her garden and walking her dog, Scout, on the beach near her house.
