DYING and Embracing Mortality with J.Todd Billings (ep. 7)


Listen Later

On this episode of the podcast, we talk with J. Todd Billings, a theologian and author, about his book The End of the Christian Life (Brazos, 2020). Our theme question: what does it mean to embrace our mortality? Among the topics we discuss:

  • On being immersed in the cancer community after a terminal cancer diagnosis
  • How Western culture works to obscure the reality of our mortality 
  • How we can live in the tension between our smallness and the grand calling to make/change culture
  • On what a "good funeral" looks like and what the Christian hope actually is 
  • How the Covid pandemic has brought our mortality (and denial) into sharper relief.
  • If you'd like to read more you can check out our review of the book (written by my guest co-host, Todd Zuidema) here: https://inallthings.org/memento-mori-a-review-of-the-end-of-the-christian-life/
