About Kate:
Kate Bowler, PhD is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, award-winning podcast host, and an Associate Professor of American Religious History at Duke University. She studies the cultural stories we tell ourselves about success, suffering, and whether (or not) we’re capable of change. She is the author of Blessed: A History of the American Prosperity Gospel and The Preacher’s Wife: The Precarious Power of Evangelical Women Celebrities.
After being unexpectedly diagnosed with Stage IV cancer at age 35, she penned the New York Times bestselling memoir, Everything Happens for a Reason (and Other Lies I’ve Loved) and No Cure For Being Human (and Other Truths I Need to Hear). She has also co-written with Jessica Richie Good Enough: 40ish Devotionals for a Life of Imperfection and The Lives We Actually Have: 100 Blessings for Imperfect Days.
Kate hosts the Everything Happens podcast where, in warm, insightful, often funny conversations, she talks with people like Malcolm Gladwell and Beth Moore about what they’ve learned in difficult times. She lives in Durham, North Carolina with her family and continues to teach do-gooders at Duke Divinity School.
About the Brave Conversations Project:
Honoring the legacy of the late MHA Nation Elder and North Dakota historian Marilyn Hudson, the Brave Conversations Project builds community through conversation and inviting everyone to have a seat at the table. These events feature a presentation by today’s leading problem solvers followed with facilitated table discussion. At Brave Conversation events, we kindly request that you sit with no more than one person you already know. Our aim is to facilitate an evening filled with stimulating dialogue and meaningful interactions across different backgrounds and experiences. This seating approach has been highly-rated by our attendees and we invite you to embrace this experience.
The maximum tickets available per order is two. If wishing to purchase for a group, contact our office and we will be happy to assist. Please note, our seating structure will still apply.

HND Value Statement
Any views, findings, conclusions, or recommendations expressed in this program, do not necessarily represent those of the National Endowment for the Humanities or Humanities North Dakota. However, in an increasingly polarized world, we at Humanities North Dakota believe that being open-minded is necessary to thinking critically and rationally. Therefore, our programs and classes reflect our own open-mindedness in the inquiry, seeking, and acquiring of scholars to speak at our events and teach classes for our Public University. To that end, we encourage our participants to join us in stepping outside our comfort zones and considering other perspectives and ideas by being open-minded while attending HND events featuring scholars who hold a variety of opinions, some being opposite of our own held beliefs.
