Episode 32: Identity, Resilience & Spiritual Calling- A Conversation With Dr. Luther E. Smith, Jr.

This month’s conversation starter is inspired by our May, 2021 podcast, with Dr. Luther E. Smith Jr., Professor Emeritus at Candler Seminary, author, educator, pastor, mystic, and elder. In this episode we talk about how identity is shaped and expanded and how conversations about race could be more authentic and powerful. We also explore what it meant for him to follow a spiritual calling and the experiences that led him to his friendship and academic study of author and mystic, Howard Thurman.

Here are a few questions for your own exploration, journaling, and (we hope) conversation with others. For group purposes, we encourage you use Zoom or some other online meeting software. Please protect public health.
