Can we still find beauty during horrible times? Does everything really happen for a reason?
My name is Kate and I’m a historian at Duke Divinity School. My book, Blessed: A History of the American Prosperity Gospel (Oxford University Press, 2013), received widespread media attention as the first history of the movement based on divine promises of health, wealth, and happiness.
My memoir, Everything Happens for a Reason (and other lies I’ve loved) (Random House, 2018), tells the story of my struggle to understand the personal and intellectual dimensions of the American belief that all tragedies are tests of character.

Sometimes we can fix our lives and sometimes can’t. So when self-help and self-care fall short, what do we need to turn instead? Rainn Wilson (Dwight Schrute of NBC’s The Office) says that what we need is a spiritual revolution. This conversation is rich and challenging and invites us all to think about the virtues we need to sustain a life and how we might cultivate these virtues not just for ...

You are so awesome Kate❤️.
Sam is such a hoot. And still as pretty as can be.
Future politician ... word salad .. up her own arse
Love you Alan! Class act! Mr. Howkeye!
So he/she just killed her/him for no reason. The murder just happened and that's just the way it is. Sure makes perfect sense, not. Or he/she just committed suicide and there's no reason for him/her to do that. He/She got cancer and there's no reason, it just happened.
Absolutely beautiful
What?
Ummmm. I think she went to she same school as Kamala Harris.
How does this not have more views?! This blessed me so much!
My Dad's favourite...I read it at his funeral as part of his eulogy...We helped each other become more real during his palliative months 😢
Kate your honesty is refreshing as is your insight. Youre living a remarkable life and I wish you continued life, growth and love.

(Someone wants to go out and get killed which would be Person #1) Person #1: (whispering) I’m going out to get hit by a vehicle. Person #2: (after hearing the whisper and therefore holding onto Person #1 super tight) No! Don’t leave this house! Person #1: SHUT THE ****UP AND LET GO OF ME! LET GO! LET GO, PLEASE! (Person #2 persistently shakes his/her/their head.) Person #1: OHH, I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU! Person #2: Why? Person #1: BECAUSE YOU WON’T SET ME FREE! YOU’RE ONLY HOLDING ME PRISONER BY KEEPING ME ALIVE!!!!!!!!! Person #2: I have every right to hold you prisoner! Person #1: BUT I WANT TO DIE SO BAD! Person #2: Nope! You’re going to listen to me and do as I say forever, even throughout eternity, no matter what!
This fits life pretty perfectly! xo
Hi, ladies....Wow: This is such a heartfelt, uplifting and engaging interview. Really enjoyed taking it in. Thanks, y'all! 👏And not sure if you'll ever see this, Savannah, but I had the immense privilege of hearing you interviewed today (at St. James Church in NYC), and it was fantastic. *YAY* Your candor, warmth, sense of humor and beautiful humanity come through, in all you do. And that's a true gift to so many of us. Fully coming out of the spiritual closet, so to speak, is not easy; however, you're still doing it, and you are richly blessing us with this process. I got to share the last compliment/question today, and I really meant what I said -- you, dear sister, are "walking the talk," in letting the Divine love you enough to be vulnerable and share the love of God (with the world at large). That's no small feat. Brava & keep on keeping on!! 🤍With Sincere Thanks & Love, Rev. Kat 😇
I wish so much that I could have joined this conversation! I have been in the ‘I don’t want to die, but I can’t live with this anymore.’ Having my dr ask me about suicide was such a relief, but for me going into the hospital felt a very safe place too.
Last yr I did the alpha course in Australia 🇦🇺 and loved it
Lovely interview/chat
Reconstructed past, perceived present, imagined future - yessss! That narrative & the breaking down of it is shattering... Thank you so much for this conversation!
Such a comforting blessing. Thank you.
Was it so traumatic that you are still thinking about it 30 years later?. Really that traumatic?. My Great Aunt, at 17, came home from work and her house, with every single member of her family, was volatilized. There was a 30 meter long, 5 meter high pile of smoldering rubble where her street was. She went to the police station, reported her work-place as her temporary address, and went and got somewhere to sleep from a friend . . . and went back to her job the next morning. This happened to 40 000 other young people, JUST IN HER CITY, * in that same three months . . . orphaned, no home, only rubble. USUALLY they just grit their teeth and carried on, and never bothered anyone with their feelings about the trauma. When she was approaching her 60th birthday, her daughter, my cousin, wanted to sit down and interview her, for a family history she was going to compile. My Great Aunt said "Oh, I decided I had my life to live, so I grieved then put that behind me. I don't make a habit of thinking about all that". and refused to go into it. But, PLEASE, tell us about how your mother wouldn't listen to you when you told them your chores were too hard. *at the time, the same thing and much worse, was happening all over Europe and REALLY worse in Asia, so it was probably so common that half the WORLD had ACTUAL trauma . . . which they dealt with without going on talk shows, and built the world we have inherited.
I notice you have a tattoo on your wrist and I’ve watched this three times now but can’t work out what it says. Please notice my misery and tell me what it says please 😂
I’m feeling this conversation so much right now as I do contemporary kintsugi gilding on figurines of social institutions. I searched for a podcast to listen to while gilding oddly to get my brain to stop spinning on how I’m the world I can afford to pay for the school I was accepted to study murals and gilding. Not sure if this is really going to distract me lol!
Sorry for the typo.
Lol I actually did a commercial for a home soy milk maker when I lived in China. I hope your former theater friend would approve.
Thank you, an excellent interview.

He rested in the grave on Sabbath according to the Commandment.
Thank you! Loved the encouragement on a variety of fronts.
Love Alan Alda, I'm from Guatemala, I learned English seeing him everyday in M.A.S.H I love to see his smile and his sense of humor. I owe him a lot. His work kept me smiling for many years. I graduated as a Nurse in NY and I still see him every week.
Love You Kate have a great night ❤
It's interesting to get to know this cute girl who is known for her enthusiastic energy. She brings light to our own childhood traumas small or big. Were they real? How would I see it as an adult? As an adult I learned that the words, should, ought, and must are too black and white. They create guilt no matter how caring we are. Think about how when we say, you should.....says whatever you want to say is wrong or whatever you did was the wrong choice. There is no other in between choice. It takes away agency and no matter what there is only one choice. It causes guilt that we don't realize. Just saying from experience and feeling freedom when I understood this.
Hey ma'am my name is meet and I am your biggest fan ❤️ From India
To find a pocketful of joy in each day…..I will try to hold on to that. To not feel guilty when your precious one is suffering so much and dying of cancer …to not feel guilty if I can enjoy food when my precious one can’t even eat and on and on …. So hard I am putting in this comment because just hearing you say that makes me feel a slight bit less guilty. Thank you dear soul.
My daughter (46 yr) who has lived with us all her life due to a physical disability is now dying of spreading cancer. I feel so very guilty when in my mind I am thinking of logistics like what do I say in the paper or facebook, how are people able to get photos together for those videos playing in the funeral home and more much more. Oh God this is unbearably hard. My daughter Amy is the kindest person anyone could meet…..I see her sitting in the recliner wondering how is she going to die and she remains kind and truly sweet. I just know God will get us through…..I don’t know how…. Thank you for sharing about your wonderful wife.
I SO LOVE HIM. REALISM AND HUMOR. SO SHAKIE. 👍. I SAW YOU. AND ME. WHAT A GREAT INFANT AND BABY AND CHILD AND TEENAGER AND INTO THE COLLEGES THAT YOU Attended here and abroad. AND STILL YOU RISE. BEAUTIFUL GIRL FETZER FAMILY AND MY SON STAN. 27YRS YOU MET EACH OTHER. GOD WILLING I'LL SEE YOU SOON. WE GOTTA HANG ON THERE. ❤
SHAK. I LOVE YOU. I GET YOU. 👍 CAN'T WAIT TO SEE AND BE NEAR YOU BEAUTIFUL GIRL. THANKS FOR YOUR LOVE FOR ME. ❤️ MOM.
Two of my favorite artists together in a rich, meaningful, reflective conversation.❤
This was wonderful. Both of you are cut from the same cloth and I am grateful for your witness.
Hosanna!
Just discovered you on Instagram, Kate & I'm SO happy I did!!💞 I'm back in a relationship with God...just recently...and I've also lost my whole family of origin recently😭💔, so I'm feeling like my foundation, a big part of my foundation has crumbled...it feels like quicksand in a way, this grief...but at the same time, am I re-finding & refining God and His love as my foundation that is deeper than this grief and loss? Oh, I hope you somehow see this message...you are a new gift for me, such wisdom & compassion, I wanted to thank you.
I can think of one person constantly in the media spotlight to whom this does *not* apply, but for most of us; yes!
Yep - Joe Biden
Don't be spiritual, the devil loves spirituality. Be religious, which means a relationship with God.
Thank you for this great interview of Rainn. Fellow Baha’i here. ❤
HA HA this is gold, the memories of Rainn from Nicaragua, the endless fight between his father and the sloth♥ this man!!! omg I adore him, my dream is to make him an interview!
DON'T USE HAHA. THIS IS SERIOUS. 😮
This was a fantastic conversation. Honest and thought provoking. Thank you.
Its already happened.
🙌🙌Love Rainns views on "self care".
Wilson also is a lib tard if you dont know. Most of what he believes in evolves around Socialism! So yeah lets listen to this guy lol😂. He also is bashing religious practice such as the powers of prayer. I also love how he uses the coined phrase "Brave and Beautiful ". Kind of lets you know where his true beliefs are. He is another woke puppet of the left
Word salad
Agreed
Interesting thought process.I appreciate you sharing.I hope you had a Happy Easter young lady
