The Death & Resurrection Doula Podcast
Welcome to The International Fellowship Cafe Podcast, a space where faith, theology, and end-of-life care meet in the form of compassionate, hope-filled conversation.Hosted by Christian End-of-Life Doula Practitioner and Theologian Laurel Nicholson, this podcast serves as an invitation to explore the sacred realities of death and our resurrection into eternal life through the power of Jesus Christ. Each episode offers thoughtful reflection and meaningful dialogue whether through rich theological insights, heartfelt discussions with those serving within and around end-of-life care, or with shared moments drawn from the Cafe live fellowship community. All are united by a single purpose: to remove the taboo surrounding death and to proclaim the joy of returning home to spend eternity with our loving God.
