Dr. Reyes and Dr. Kate Ott discuss her Catholic upbringing in a tight-knit community in the Midwest, her inherent love of learning, and her deep desire to do good in the world. She talks about being fueled by relationships and how her call manifests in creating moments to help the next generation figure out how religion fits into their daily lives and vocation through her writing, advocacy, and teaching. 

Kate Ott is a Christian social ethicist addressing the formation of moral communities with specializations in technology, sexuality, youth and young adults, pedagogy, and professional ethics. Her newest book is Sex, Tech, and Faith: Christian Ethics in a Digital Age (2022). 

Kate was recently appointed as the Jerre and Mary Joy Stead Professor of Christian Social Ethics and is director of the Stead Center on Ethics and Values at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary in Evanston, IL.
