Living and leading from our mortality
“Yearning for life is a part of what it means to be human.”

This article is excerpted from a conversation Bowler and Powery held last month for Duke Divinity School alumni to view online.
Kate Bowler: What has leading been like in this season? I know it’s a stupidly big question.
Luke A. Powery: You know, I don’t think of myself as a leader. I’m a human being—who loves people and loves God and is helping to navigate a community through this time. I’ve found myself to be an encourager, a cheerleader, someone to bring a sense of calm and maybe a balm when it’s needed, a sense of joy, of life.
