What if you could walk through life guided by someone wise, steady, and deeply faithful—a giant whose footsteps show you the way? Great news: anyone can.

This week on Underline That with Stephanie Mack, Stephanie sits down with author and spiritual director Lori Melton to talk about her beautiful new book, The Journey with a Giant, and the life-changing practice of spiritual mentorship.

Together, they explore what it means to “walk with giants” — intentionally choosing wise voices from history and faith to shape how we live, listen, love, and grow.

From Lori’s experience walking with Fred Rogers—America’s favorite neighbor—to the quiet spiritual power of fiction writers like George MacDonald, this conversation is tender, thoughtful, and deeply grounding.

We discuss:
• The hope and heart behind The Journey of a Giant
• How choosing a “giant” from history can shape your everyday faith
• Lessons from Mister Rogers that still matter today
• Why fiction can be spiritually formative
• Lori’s journey to becoming a traditionally published nonfiction author

If you’re looking for guidance and clarity at the start of the new year, this episode will feel like a deep breath for your soul.

Thank you so much for listening!
