Welcome to Stories & Other Things Holy! This week, Dr. Terry Nelson-Johnson shares a powerful story about Sister Joan Chittister’s experience during a near-crisis on a plane, where she moves from saying a prayer to becoming a prayer. In conversation with Joshua Minden, they explore:

The difference between saying prayers and becoming a prayer
How suffering and desperation deepen our connection with God
The significance of the body in prayer and the incarnation
Why memorizing prayers can become an embodied spiritual practice
This episode invites you to reflect on how grace moves through us, even in moments of fear or uncertainty.
