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
