On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let us go across to the other side.”
- Jesus Calms a Storm
- Mark 6:47
- And they that did eat of the loaves were about five thousand men.And straightway he constrained his disciples to get into the ship, and to go to the other side before unto Bethsaida, while he sent away the people.And when he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to pray.And when even was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land.And he saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary unto them: and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them.But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out:For they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately he talked with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid.And he went up unto them into the ship; and the wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and wondered.
For they considered not the miracle of the loaves: for their heart was hardened.

Kate Bowler is the author of Blessed: A History of the American Prosperity Gospel. She teaches North American Christianity at Duke Divinity School in Durham, North Carolina. As the child of two professors that was probably a foregone conclusion, but she stubbornly persists in her belief in free will. She grew up in the Canadian prairie city of Winnipeg with an unhealthy interest in religion and popular culture. By the time she had finished her Master’s degree, she was already devoted to her first book project studying the American prosperity gospel. She spent a decade traveling the United States and Canada visiting megachurches, archives, television studios, revivals and Christian theme parks interviewing leaders and followers of the prosperity gospel.
cspanHer second book, tentatively called Co-Pastor: Women and Power in American Megaministry, tells the modern history of celebrity wives. In a culture divided about whether women should Lean In or opt out, Christian women reach for spiritual stardom and many have succeeded in re-making popular religion into a woman’s playground. She recently received a Louisville sabbatical fellowship and a travel grant from the American Academy of Religion to research, write and drink coffee in 2016-2017.
