"I Signed the Book of the Dead?!" A Lenten Wake-Up Call

Send Terry and Joshua a text using this link.

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

Join us on this journey of healing, grace, and renewal. If this episode resonates with you, please subscribe, share your thoughts in the comments, and consider joining our email newsletter for more reflections and grace-ercises.
