🎙️ New Episode: Kathleen Norris on what it means to live a life marked by faith, fragility, and fierce loveIn this tender and profound episode of Lead with Storytelling, award-winning poet and spiritual writer Kathleen Norris joins us to reflect on her latest book, Rebecca Sue: A Sister’s Reflections on Disability, Faith, and Love. Best known for beloved works like The Cloister Walk and Dakota: A Spiritual Geography, Kathleen turns her attention to the life of her late sister, Rebecca—a woman born with a brain injury whose fierce spirit, humor, and wisdom left an indelible mark on all who knew her.Through stories, letters, and memories, Kathleen shares what it means to write about someone you love deeply, how caregiving shaped her understanding of grace, and why those with disabilities often reveal the truest face of love and human dignity.We also explore:✅ The sacred practice of storytelling and metaphor✅ How her years with Benedictine monastics shaped her inner life✅ Faith as something lived, not spoken✅ The balance between memory, grief, and celebrationWhether you’ve read Kathleen's books or are meeting her for the first time, this conversation is a quiet treasure. It invites us to pay attention to the ordinary miracles of care, presence, and resilience.🔗 Order the book from InterVarsity Press:https://www.ivpress.com/rebecca-sue—🔗 Listen now on Spotify : https://open.spotify.com/show/6c10NeL5nPg3fEgDoDhLT5?si=a73dc51344bf4e0b📲 Don’t forget to follow for future episodes of Lead with Storytelling
