Stories & Other Things Holy is a weekly podcast that invites you to step into the sacred in everyday life. Through intimate conversations and masterful storytelling, host Joshua Minden and storyteller Dr. Terry Nelson-Johnson weave together narratives that explore the depths of our human experience—our joys, our struggles, our unexpected moments of grace, and our shared capacity for transformation. Every episode is a journey into the heart of what it means to be human, where laughter meets vulnerability, where pain becomes a doorway to healing, and where the mundane bursts with mystery and wonder.
Whether you're seeking inspiration to navigate life’s challenges, a gentle reminder to slow down and savor the beauty around you, or a fresh perspective on the everyday miracles that connect us all, this podcast offers a space to reflect, grow, and be uplifted. With each story, Joshua and Terry invite you to discover how the sacred threads of love, humility, and resilience are woven through even the most ordinary moments, encouraging you to embrace the call to live fully and authentically.
Join us as we explore the profound power of narrative to reveal who we are, challenge what we believe, and remind us that we are never alone on this journey. Stories & Other Things Holy is more than a podcast—it’s a community of listeners finding hope and connection in the shared story of life.
