Episode 27 - The Surprise of Easter: A Story of Grace, Grit & Dirty Dishes

On this Easter Monday—one filled with both hope and grief following the passing of Pope Francis—we reflect on a story that reminds us what resurrection really looks like: surprise, grace, and the tender solidarity of “I’ve been there. You’ll be okay.”

In this episode, Terry Nelson-Johnson shares a story of a young mother overwhelmed by life, a black trash bag full of burned pans, and a mysterious act of kindness that transforms failure into grace.
