Advent 2025.
November 30th - December 24th.
(One moment each day. A brief time of quiet. And hope.)
But here, in this community we have the great privilege of gathering and saying to one another, REMEMBER.
There’s more than meets the eye.
Remember: You are worth more than this.
Remember in your darker moments what you knew before—so exquisitely, so intimately—that there is more love somewhere, and it’s for you and for everyone, and it shines from the heart of God.
From the light of the manger.

Kate Bowler
The world of Kate Bowler is beautiful.
She’s a four-time New York Times bestselling author, award-winning podcast host, and Professor of Religious History at Duke University. She also has two honorary doctorates, an award from Yale University for service to theological education, and seven books to her credit. Additionally, she is the only person ever to hold the prestigious titles of mother to Zach and wife of Toban.
The world of Kate Bowler is terrible.
At 35, Kate was blindsided by Stage IV cancer and the aftermath of its grueling treatment. After that colossal suck and her subsequent recovery, Kate began to rethink pretty much everything she thought she knew about life, loss, grief, and even joy.
The world of Kate Bowler is as human as it gets.
She is on a mission to unravel our complicated humanness. She’s not looking to add to the cultural library of lovely stories about hard work and positive attitudes and yet-to-be-revealed reasons things happen. Because those lovely stories are fiction, and Kate knows that an ugly truth will always serve us better than a beautiful lie.
