Summary

How do you have faith that can hold all of reality—the beautiful, the terrible, and everything in-between? The TODAY Show’s Savannah Guthrie thinks carefully about this question, especially given that her job is reporting the news every morning.

In this conversation, Kate and Savannah discuss:

  • Savannah’s trick for handling difficult news every day
  • How to adjust the dial on fear and hope when there is so much to be afraid of
  • Making sense of the wisdom we can learn in the midst of difficult times—without saying ‘everything happens for a reason’ (because we would never do that to you)
  • How we hope to be transformed by God’s love
