No Cure for Being Human by Kate Bowler

Hi, I’m Kate. I’m a Duke professor, podcaster, and author with a single mission: giving you a little more permission to admit that you’re not always “living your best life.” After years of being told I was incurable, I was declared cancer-free. But there’s no going back. I am forever changed by what I discovered: life is so beautiful and life is so hard. For everyone. | Kate Bowler

EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON: And Other Lies I’ve Loved

Kate Bowler’s story of coping with cancer and how it changed her faith

I love looking back at some of my favorite books from when I was a kid with a new perspective on what they teach us about being in the world. The lessons can be so gentle but resonate so deeply. Today’s words come from The Velveteen Rabbit, one of my favorite kids' books. If you’d like to listen to Meryl Streep’s reading of it you can find a link below. She makes everything better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_m054tLKvs | Kate Bowler

Sometimes, your heart knows things before your mind does. In this tender moment, @sophiegregoiretrudeau—beloved mental health advocate, humanitarian, author, and proud Canadian—reminds us that emotional truth doesn’t always arrive with instructions (or much warning). We learn by listening. To our ache. Our longings. And yes, even our joy. Think of today's conversation on @everythinghappens as a little love note to the ones learning to trust their insides again. | Kate Bowler

Welcome to part FOUR of busting the myth of a “purpose-driven” life. Can you have too much purpose? Oh friend. YES. YES YOU CAN. You can be so over-purposed you’re practically oozing from the squeeze of it all. Because sometimes purpose doesn’t feel like clarity or peace—it feels like exhaustion in a thousand directions. You’re parenting, caregiving, replying to the group chat, uncrustifying sandwiches, keeping people alive, and occasionally hydrated. This isn’t a life—it’s a purpose parade with

Want to feel hopeful today? WELL. Then you will want to listen to this man be himself. @nickkristof is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who is just as smart, delightful, and charismatic as you would hope he'd be. We got to chat in front of live audience in Indiana over the summer and waiting this long to air it HAS BEEN HARD. We talk about how his career in journalism has broken his heart wide open, what it means to actually make a difference, and how to have hope. He gets it done, people. He

For my fellow disaster-empaths—who cry at dog food ads and once thanked their barista for their service—today’s episode is for you. I sat down with Dr. Ellen Vora, author of "The Anatomy of Anxiety", to talk about why your spirals might not be a sign that you’re broken—but a signal that this world is...kind of a lot? She’s sharp, soulful, and the kind of person I’d trust to talk me down from a panic spiral or explain why I feel nervous literally all the time. | Kate Bowler

Whew. This book. This book is a story about love and faith and the community it makes. Wholehearted Faith comes out today and I hope it fills you with the same joy and sense of transcendent hope it did for me. If you haven’t had the chance to read something by Rachel, this is a wonderful moment. Rachel packed her 37 years of life with incredible work and she is there in her writings for us to discover and hear her anew. Some small love notes: @rachelheldevans, we miss you and love you and are gr

Pull up a seat—let’s talk about the language of purpose. Somewhere along the way, we started believing that every moment has to be meaningful, every choice strategic, every step part of a master plan. But what if that’s too much pressure for a human life? Meaning, more often than not, is something we discover in hindsight. The ordinary moments—the ones that feel forgettable—are quietly stitching together a life. A sacred one. So maybe purpose doesn’t have to be grand to be good. Maybe it just ha

Instead of thinking of love as purely emotion, let's think of love as service. It's something we do, not just feel. It's how we can exist in a world that is tragic and chaotic. It's deciding to love our people & communities harder, even though it can feel thankless, terrifying, and uncomfortable. "We are all healers because we have the ability to love." | Kate Bowler

When the world is heavy and your heart is tired, choosing to stay tender—to keep going, to keep loving—is its own kind of bravery.
