This week on Journey with a Giant, host Lori G. Melton and co-host Robert Prince sit down with guest Stacy Holmes—a wife, mom, homeschooler, podcaster, pastor, and spiritual director—for a thought-provoking conversation about her journey with the spiritual giant John Calvin.

Stacy shares about her unexpected journey with John Calvin, a theological giant she once thought she had little in common with. Yet during the difficult days of COVID-19, Calvin’s insatiable hunger for Scripture and his passion for reform became a surprising source of comfort, conviction, and guidance. Through his writings, Stacy discovered not only a deeper love for the Word of God but also the beauty of engaging voices across theological divides.

This conversation is both grounding and stretching, reminding us that God often meets us through unlikely companions.
