The “On Being” podcast is acclaimed for its “mind- and heart-expanding” exploration of “theology, ethics, science, the soul, and what it means to be a human” (The New York Times).
In this live taping, Krista Tippett turns that lens on the singularly delightful Kate Bowler, author of Everything Happens for a Reason: And Other Lies I’ve Loved. This preternaturally wise theologian faced her own mortality at a young age and is living with the chronic illness that cancer has become. The sense she’s learned to make of this speaks to so many dimensions of life at this time for us all: an awareness of our fragility, the fact of death, and the redemptive, contradictory realities of aging, illness, vitality, and hope.
Now in its 19th year, the Aspen Ideas Festival is the Aspen Institute’s signature summer public event. From June 25-July 30, 2023 more than 300 leaders and innovators gather in the Rocky Mountains to engage in deep and inquisitive discussion of the issues that shape our lives and challenge our times, spanning politics, business, science, the arts, education, and more. #AspenIdeas
