On this episode of Nuance, Case interviews retired HR executive and lay theologian John Alsdorf on the importance of integrating faith into the way we approach death and the need for open conversations about end-of-life decisions. John emphasizes the importance of living well and reconciling relationships in light of death and dying, demonstrating compassion towards others, just as Christ has shown us.
