📖 Humiliation or Humility? The Wisdom of Falling | Stories & Other Things Holy 🎙️

What happens when we fall—physically, emotionally, or spiritually? In this episode, Dr. Terry Nelson-Johnson shares a poignant story about his mentor, Silky, a man who exuded grace and confidence, and how one unexpected moment changed his perspective on humility, vulnerability, and grace.

Terry and Joshua explore the profound distinction between humiliation and humility and how falling is not just a human experience, but a divine one—seen even in the life of Jesus. This conversation invites us to rethink our relationship with failure, embarrassment, and the moments when we are brought back to the ground.

Key Takeaways:
✔️ The difference between humiliation and humility
✔️ How vulnerability can unite us rather than isolate us
✔️ Why falling is an essential part of the spiritual journey
✔️ How grace meets us in our most humbling moments
