Raising Boys & Girls Episode 304: Faith, Family, and the Power of a Good Devotional with Melanie and Caroline Shankle
Melanie Shankle is the New York Times bestselling author, a popular speaker, and cohost of The Big Boo Cast podcast. A graduate of Texas A&M, she loves writing, checking to see what's on sale at Anthropologie, and looking for the bright side. Most of all, she loves being the mother of Caroline and the wife of Perry.
Caroline is Melanie's daughter and an animal science major at Texas A&M. She graduated in May 2025 and is planning to pursue a master's degree. In addition, she hopes to write more books and speak to young women about the battles they face. She wrote the book “The Lion and the Bear” on Fruity Pebbles coffee and a prayer.
We are delighted to have this amazing mother and daughter. And ya’ll there is so much richness about their relationship. About raising adolescents and young adults and what it looks like to pursue your faith through all those stages. So listen in and actually you might want to grab your daughters and have them listen too!
