Join us for Episode 22 of Stories and Other Things Holy with Terry Nelson-Johnson. In this candid conversation, Terry recounts a funeral visit that took an unexpected turn when he accidentally signed the “Book of the Dead.” Far from a grim tale, this lighthearted moment leads to profound insights on the Lenten season, our mortality, and how embracing both can ignite hope.
In This Episode, We Explore:
- Terry’s near-death experience and how it reshaped his outlook
- The comedic yet meaningful mishap of signing the “Book of the Dead”
- How Lent invites us to “preregister” our own mortality
- The balance between remembering death and celebrating life
- The spiritual practice of facing our human limitations with hope
Key Takeaways:
- Engaging with our own mortality can deepen our appreciation for life
- Humor often arises in unexpected places, even at a funeral
- Lent as a season of reflection, humility, and spiritual preparation
- Remembering death isn’t morbid—it’s a call to live more fully
