Bob Crawford: These Beautiful, Terrible Days Everything Happens with Kate Bowler

We are kicking off Season 12 of the Everything Happens Podcast (!!) with a little bonus situation because we’re having a little bonus moment. Kate’s new book HAVE A BEAUTIFUL, TERRIBLE DAY! Is available everywhere books are sold today. 

It is a book of daily meditations meant to ground whatever day you’re having—all of the ups and downs and inbetweens. And who better to talk about that with than my friend, Bob Crawford. Bob is the bass player for the wildly popular band The Avett Brothers, and someone who knows too well how terrible and beautiful life can be. 

In this conversation, Kate and Bob discuss:


How there can be a strange comfort in our worst moments
How they continued despite the ongoingness of their kinds of tragedies 
Why they both long for more spiritual language around living like this
