Stories & Other Things Holy is a podcast that believes in the transformative power of stories. Each week, we gather to share tales and conversations that remind us how stories can open our hearts, challenge our perceptions, and connect us deeply to our humanity.
Hosted by Joshua Minden and featuring principal storyteller Dr. Terry Nelson-Johnson, each episode invites listeners into the sacred space of narrative. With humor, humility, and wisdom, Terry and Joshua explore life's big questions, joys, struggles, and surprises—always seeking grace in the ordinary and the profound. Rooted in perennial wisdom and Catholic spirituality, the podcast explores universal themes such as hope, joy, compassion, community, and the unexpected ways God’s infinite love shows up in everyday life.
Whether you're seeking comfort amidst life's messiness, inspiration for deeper reflection, or simply a good story that might change how you see the world, Stories & Other Things Holy offers a welcoming and enriching retreat.
