Being Human with Kate Bowler


Listen Later

Hey friends! You are in for an absolute treat of a show today! The delightful and brilliant Kate Bowler sits down with me to talk all about how to move forward with life when it’s not really what you would have picked out for yourself.  

Kate is a New York Times best-selling author, podcast host, and associate professor of the history of Christianity in North America at Duke University. And she’s one of my very favorite humans. 

She shares her story of being diagnosed with Stage IV cancer at a young age, what she learned during her cancer journey, how she really feels about the phrase “living your best life now,” and what we can do when unexpected changes in life turn our carefully laid plans upside down. 

Listen in to hear about: 

  1. What happens when we distract ourselves from that muted ache that comes with just being a person
  • What we sacrifice when we say we’re going to live in the present only
  • What the Bible says about the human experiences, especially suffering
  • What happens when we ignore our fragility in exchange for “living our best lives now” 
  •  

    In this episode I answer this question:

    1. I recently parted ways with my best friend of 10 years, how do I grieve someone who is not actually dead? (45:09)

    Great things we discussed: 

    1. Particle Man 

    2. Friday Night Lights

    3. Raising a Rare Girl 

    4. Vivino

    5. The Ordinary Facial Mask 

    6. Standing Strong
