Today we are joined by Kate Bowler, Duke professor and bestselling author, who shares her story on living with uncertainty, embracing imperfection, and finding beauty in the messiness of life. Diagnosed with stage four colon cancer, Kate opens up about how her journey reshaped her views on faith, parenting, and human connection. We discuss the importance of truth-telling with our children, even in the most difficult times, and how to steer away from toxic positivity.
