What if you are not blessed by the world’s standards? Not thriving. Not picture-perfect. Not winning.

In this tender and luminous conversation, Kate Bowler speaks with writer and artist Jan Richardson about what blessing really means when your life has been unraveled by grief. Together, they reflect on love that outlasts loss, what makes a blessing sacred rather than sentimental, and how holy sight might begin with simply telling the truth.

Topics We Cover:
- The mystery of blessing beyond health or success
- Why grief is a place where blessing still speaks
- Blessings as resistance against spiritual cliché
- How Jan kept writing blessings after devastating loss
- The stubborn, sacred beauty of ordinary life

This is a conversation for the brokenhearted, the spiritually hungry, and anyone wondering if God’s love includes them—even now.
