I interpret this as there are reasons why things happen, but its meant in the opposite sense which is just invalidating toxic positivity

Are they looking into any cure for ME CFS where millions are ignored by those in the medical field with very little research, no bio marker, thus no treatment?

Ty for everything you do and say and share ❤

Nicole Shanahan also talks about using AI for our chronic disease epidemic! This is so cool!

She's doing really well. A long remission, author, teacher, mother, wife. Good for her❤

Not sure if Easter egg needs to be acknowledged because it doesn't represent in anyway Christ his death and resurrection.

My husband of 25 years just asked me for a divorce! No I'm not who I once was.

Right on time. I found out my uncle just passed away. Thank you

Team lucy,lucija,luxa 🥺😢🙏❤

Thank you, Dr. Bowler

Thank you beautiful Kate 🙏❤️

So refreshing and inspiring

Thank you for sharing this. I'm processing through the toll of cancer (lymphoma) and treatment this last year. Your books and videos like this helped me find words for my experience, solace in resonating with what you've shared, and comfort in knowing I'm not alone in my experiences with cancer.

I enjoyed this so much. I have a funeral to attend next week in Va and its one of my 33 first cousins on my mom's side. It will be interesting to see who is there ; it's really the modern day family reunion as these events are the only events that bring us together. I always learn more about the person who died. I do wonder what compels me to go but I am driving our only living uncle ( out of the 9 kids of our grandparents) who is 85 and the time spent with him is always a treasure. I do have time for this as I recently resigned from my nursing job. Thank you Kate, Mr. Lynch and team!

A perfect blessing for my 61-year old self to hear today. Thank you!!

Feeling this to my core, thank you.

Just what I needed to hear today. Bless you Kate and Jessica for putting into words the pain and joy in my heart with the books of blessings that you have written.

Thank you, Your blessings are such a soothing balm 🙏🏽

Thank you David and Kate for this kind and empathetic way of describing chronic depression. I felt so seen, heard, and understood as a person struggling with chronic depression. Thank you! ❤️

Thank you for sharing this. It gave me a cathartic cry and I never cry

As a medical social worker i always tried to encourage honest conversations with a patient and family members/loved ones.I also know that everybody,s way of coping with a terminal disease is different and that everybody involved with the terminally ill must make space for these differences.

I don't believe you

I'm not sorry. I'm worth loving and I'm in charge I'm the boss nothing has changed don't be sorry that makes you see like it's your fault

Lots of shame guilt w/chronic illness Thank you

Lost what? I'm missing something...

I love Alan Alda and everything he stands for. Kate, your sound is a little uneven. You have a lovely laugh, and when your guest is particularly soft spoken it's a bit painful to hear because the volume is so loud. Keep up the great work, though! 🎉

What she's talking about is happening on every level of society. Step out of the system and speak truth with love. You'll attract other people who need that kind of healing positivity.

One of my favorite Kate conversations ever. I wish I could scream this to everyone who quotes this verse.

Thanks Kate, Right now my wife and I are caring for my mother as she rehabs from a broken femur. This has been very difficult. My father in-law is in the late stages of Alzheimer's and we are raising two teenage foster children. You are right on time with this blessing.

My God, it is so nice to see this performative, toxic positivity addressed.

When I tell people how I really am doing physically, they’re shocked because I am doing things and smiling. They just don’t see the struggle. So, they think I’m ok. What makes things ok is having that hope and trying to see the good that’s out there!

Thank you 😊

Hi Kate, I just watched you speak yesterday at the Artcraft in Franklin. Caregiver was my highest rated spiritual temperment when I took the exam in Seminary. I look forward to reading your book and enjoyed the show yesterday. Subscribed! Shalom, Eric

Your words gave me sustenance today. Play know that the work you do is meaningful and I appreciate you so much.

Disagreed, as someone with a chronic degenerating disorder, there very well is losing and winning, for you to have the courage to carry on and everyday even as your disorder gets worse means you are still fighting, it's about the battle of attrition, it's about acknowledging the effort you have put in to continue each day, do what's needed to be done to have some semblance of normality even if takes everything out of you to do it. There is nothing cruel about it.

Look to the core of why people are hurting and doing without in our culture, then look at the way the well to do and up got their money. All the answers are there.

Just curious...What is a tractor beam?

Thank you for this, Kate and Catherine Z! xo

Thank you for each and all of these (Summer of) blessings that you lovingly, thoughtfully compose. I sense you channeling & sharing your spirit, thru The Spirit. So lovely & helpful. Thank you, especially for this one, Kate. Caregivers navigate a holy & terribly meaningful & often lonely, often profoundly rich space and time. I appreciate you, Kate Bowler. I listen to your podcast regularly--during long walks &/or long-ish drives. I savor your words, books, prayers, questions, conversations and your humor. The world is a better place because of you--the honesty, care & love you speak & think into the air, and write on paper / digital spaces. "Dear Lord, I thank you and praise you for Kate Bowler, her team, her family, her ministry; keep it going, Lord, keep Kate in your lovingcare, bc she is helping us all live a little better each day. Amen."

Gorgeous

Come now Holy Spirit! Once again, you touch me with your writing of those amazing prayers. Please don't ever stop.

Bless you, Kate. You have a beautiful soul.

Beautiful ❤

Would it be possible to add closed captions for those with hearing impairment?

Thank you, Kate

I receive this with open heart, soul and arms. Thank you.

Thank you!

Tears welling. I am a year out from the end of caring for my Father and your words are salve to my soul that still feels all the emotions from the journey. Thank you.
