Listen Later

Some stories just don’t inform us; they shape us.

In this episode of Journey with a Giant, gifted storyteller Sister Diane Zerfas, the Spiritual Formations Director at the Dominican Center in Grand Rapids, shares the remarkable transformations she has witnessed in her students over more than two decades of guiding them in the practice of walking with spiritual giants.

You’ll hear how this practice provides a deep-rooted connection in a world that often feels untethered and isolated. Through walking with giants, we are reminded that we never walk alone.

The episode concludes with Sister Diane’s heartfelt prayer for the practice, an invitation to notice God’s presence in our own lives and the faithful examples around us. You won’t want to miss it!
