This week on Journey with a Giant, Lori turns the microphone towards her co-host, Pastor Robert Prince—and what a conversation it is! Robert opens up about his own season of spiritual apathy and the surprising ways God reawakened his heart through journeying with two remarkable spiritual giants.His first giant, John O’Donohue, ushered him into the beauty and depth of Celtic Christianity, sparking a faith renewal that led to a life-changing pilgrimage to Ireland. His second, Thomas Merton, invited him into the gifts of solitude, silence, and experiencing God’s presence in creation. Together, these mentors—one a poet-philosopher, the other a contemplative monk—have shaped Robert’s spiritual life, creativity, and ministry in profound ways.Along the way, Robert shares moments of awakening, the practices that keep him rooted, and how walking with giants can help each of us draw closer to Jesus. Whether you’re just beginning to explore the idea of spiritual giants or you’re already on the journey, this episode will leave you both inspired and eager to discover your own companions for the road.Join us—and discover what might happen when curiosity leads you to communion.----------Resources Mentioned in This Episode:Overcoming Spiritual Apathy poem PDF, Prayers of R.E.S.T. by Asheritah Ciuciu, pg 229For more information on Robert or his ministry, visit recognizingthedivine.comClick here⁠ to download your free Sneak Peek of Journey with A Giant⁠Journey with a Giant: Choose Your Guide, Pursue Your Purpose, and Grow in Your Walk with God⁠ by Lori G Melton⁠The Sanctuary at Bear Creek Retreat Center⁠Music, The Journey, ⁠Kevin Melton Productions, LLC⁠, Copyright 2025.For more encouragement and resources to grow in your relationship with God and others, visit our website ⁠⁠⁠thesanctuaryatbearcreek.com⁠⁠⁠.
