Holding on to God after cancer diagnosis aged 35 - Kate Bowler

video thumbnail
Kate Bowler is an author podcast host, and an Associate Professor of American Religious History at Duke University in North Carolina. After being unexpectedly diagnosed with Stage IV cancer at age 35, Kate penned the New York Times bestselling memoir, Everything Happens for a Reason (and Other Lies I’ve Loved) and No Cure For Being Human (and Other Truths I Need to Hear). Kate hosts the Everything Happens podcast where she talks with her guests about what they’ve learned in difficult times.

Justin and Belle talk to Kate about her journey with cancer and some of the theology often associated with health, wealth and prosperity. And in a social media saturated culture where people often curate a picture-perfect version of their life, how can we re-enchant the reality of being imperfect humans in a messy world?
