Merry Christmas from
Stories and Other Things Holy

Dear Friends,

Merry, beautiful, faithful, mysterious Christmas!

As we approach this sacred and wondrous day, we find ourselves filled with deep gratitude for you—our listeners, companions, and co-travelers in the art of story and the mystery of grace. This Advent season, we have journeyed together through reflections on wonder, hope, chaos, and incarnation, culminating in this week’s Christmas episode: Let’s Believe One More Year.

Throughout these weeks, you have risked joining us in asking the hard and beautiful questions: What does it mean to welcome the incarnation today? What would it look like to participate in the story of God’s presence in our lives? And, perhaps most importantly, what if we choose to believe one more year?

Your participation in this work—listening, reflecting, sharing, and supporting—has been nothing short of extraordinary. You have reminded us again and again of the power of stories to connect, heal, provoke, and inspire. In a world often weary and chaotic, your willingness to engage with the wonder and joy of these stories brings us immense hope.

So, thank you. Thank you for your open hearts, your generous support, and your encouragement. Thank you for believing alongside us, for risking wonder, and for carrying these stories into your lives and communities.

This Christmas, we wish you and your loved ones the best and fullest of joy. May the wonder of this holy season—a God who chooses to join us in the mess and mystery of life—find its way into your hearts.

As you celebrate, we invite you to carry forward one question from this week’s episode: What would it mean to believe one more year? What might it look like to risk that belief—not just in the magic of Christmas but in the profound reality of love, hope, and transformation in our lives and in the world?

Thank you for being part of Stories and Other Things Holy. It has been a gift to journey with you, and we look forward to all that the coming year will bring.

With gratitude and joy,

Joshua & Terry
