Kate Bowler: Surviving cancer and demolishing terrible Christian cliches
from The Profile · host Premier Christian Radio
Five years on from a cancer diagnosis that changed her life forever, the Christian academic Kate Bowler speaks to Premier Christianity's Sam Hailes about her new book 'No Cure for Being Human'. The pair also discuss the pressure often felt in churches to be positive, and how even well-meaning comments about faith, healing and prayer can often be hurtful or damaging. For Kate, real Christianity offers a deeper and far more meaningful hope than what the prosperity gospel, or an endless quest for 'progress' could ever bring.
