    Guest Lori G. Melton - Journey with a Giant - Welcome to the Neighborhood: A Mister Rogers Tribute Podcast

    Guest: Lori G. Melton Journey with a Giant: Choose Your Guide, Pursue Your Purpose, and Grow in Your Walk with God Author Lori G. Melton invites you to take the next step in your spiritual formation and embark on a year-long journey alongside a “giant” of faith, inspired by the author’s year of studying the life of Mister Fred Rogers, America’s favorite neighbor. So many of us want to go deeper in our faith. We long for a clearer sense of God’s calling in our lives, but knowing where to start can be more than half the battle. What if we could learn from a trusted guide who’s already walked the path? If you’re in leadership, what would you give to shadow someone like Queen Elizabeth II? Or if you’re an artist, what would you give to spend a year with Madeleine L’Engle or Michelangelo? What if you’re longing for courage and you could take notes from George Washington or Harriet Tubman? How might God shape you through the example of faithful believers and strengthen you to become who He created you to be? Journey with a Giant introduces the transformative practice of walking with a spiritual giant. Based on the “cloud of witnesses” described in Hebrews 12 and illustrated through the author’s experience walking with Mister Fred Rogers—America’s favorite neighbor—spiritual director Lori Melton guides readers on a one-year adventure that offers a unique approach to spiritual formation. This structured yet flexible guide includes: • weekly reflections • testimonials from fellow pilgrims • monthly instructions and tasks • prompts for recording your focus, goals, resources, and insights • guided prayer to end each month • reflection questions • journaling space Whether you choose to learn from Mister Rogers or select your own spiritual mentor, this journey will help you cultivate a closer relationship with God, uncover new insights about yourself, and take meaningful steps toward pursuing God’s unique calling for you.

    Bonus Episode: Truth, Justice, and the Way: Superman and Spirituality Podcast Preview

    Bonus Episode: Truth, Justice, and the Way: Superman and Spirituality Podcast Preview From the hosts that brought you Welcome to the Neighborhood: A Mister Rogers Tribute Podcast, we present to you a new podcast series about kindness, truth, Superman and Spirituality   Welcome to Truth, Justice, and the Way: Superman and Spirituality, the podcast where mythology meets theology, and capes meet contemplation. In this show, we will explore what the Man of Steel can teach us about who we are, what we believe, and how we live. Through a spiritual lens, especially in the Ignatian tradition and through my own experience as a spiritual care provider in hospitals, we look at some of the deeper truths behind Superman’s story—truths about calling, identity, compassion, adoption, and even the mystery of presence. This podcast is partly about fandom, but more about formation. Today, in our very first episode, we are looking at the 2025 Superman film by James Gunn and asking what the myth of Superman can reveal to us about our own deepest longings for purpose, belonging, and transformation?”   Subscribe now Share   Follow Us on Substack: https://supermanpodcast.substack.com/podcast     Your Hosts: David Dault - https://www.daviddault.com/about Rick Lee James - https://www.rickleejames.com/ SupermanAlways on Twitter/X - @RickLeeJames4
