Faith Without Certainty: Nadia Bolz-Weber, Sarah Bessey, and Kate Bowler on How Church Has Changed

What does faith even look like right now? Kate Bowler sits down with Nadia Bolz-Weber and Sarah Bessey for a conversation that’s honest, funny, and unexpectedly hopeful—especially if you’ve felt overwhelmed by the world, the news, or even your own beliefs. They talk about what it means to keep showing up to faith when certainty is gone. Not big, dramatic answers—but small, stubborn acts of love. Knitting circles. Prayer shawls. Shared meals. The kind of “cozy faith” that doesn’t fix everything, but refuses to give up on the world. This is a conversation about doubt, community, and why ordinary, embodied practices might be the most meaningful response to despair. If you’ve ever wondered how to hold onto faith (or redefine it) in a complicated world—this one is for you. In this episode: How small, tangible acts can resist despair Church, doubt, and staying when things feel uncertain Why community still matters (even when it’s messy) Choosing love when it would be easier to check out #faithjourney #lutheranism #churchlife #katebowler #sarahbessey #nadiabolzweber
