United Statesa month ago - Amazing - thank you
As a pastor who gets looked to for answers it is so comforting to hear about the beauty and integrity of ambiguity! (Wow that’s a lot of words.) Uncertainty, grey rather than black and white, no simplistic answers to complex questions and issues - all of this comes in the podcast and in Kate’s writings. Thank you and God bless you!

So thankful for you, Kate. You share such simple, yet rich, moments of joy tucked within everyday life. You are a reflection of joy! And sooooo happy you had Ben & Erin join in. My husband and I both aspire to just get a chance to hug them both one day.
