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.

Welcome to Stories and Other Things Holy! This week, join host Joshua Minden and principal storyteller Terry Nelson-Johnson as they explore how easy it is to miss the beauty and grace woven into everyday life. Through Terry’s story about two friends on a biking trip, we’re invited to consider the importance of "looking up" and noticing the world around us, an act that reminds us of God's constant presence and the gifts He places in our path.
Together, Joshua and Terry discuss:
- The importance of paying attention and being present
- How routine and familiarity can desensitize us to the beauty around us
- The concept of grace as a feast that we are constantly invited to attend
- Practical ways to develop eyes to see grace in the ordinary moments
