How to Change (But Not Overnight)
with Kate Bowler
You were supposed to be a whole new person by now. Sun-kissed and emotionally regulated. Inbox at zero.
But here we are—still tired, still trying, still wondering if change is even possible. In this episode, I reflect on the seasons when we ache to become someone else. Someone better and explore the ancient idea of virtue—especially the least sexy one, prudence—as a compass for who we’re becoming and how.
Rooted in Christian theology, this episode is for the slow changers. The late bloomers. The people choosing one small, faithful step instead of a total overhaul.
Plus, it includes a blessing for anyone who’s trying to change… but not overnight.
