Episode #5 When The Answer Is A Question
“I always have tried to bring soul and spirit together. I haven't wanted to separate those two things. And even my most recent books pick up these themes.”
Thomas Moore left his home and family at age 13 to pursue the Priesthood. Inspired by life as a monk and a student, he spent over a decade immersed in a classical and spiritual education. Stacking up degrees while cultivating his interests, he grew more open-minded than his religious structure until…the very inspiration that had led him on this path was suddenly gone. Without support from his colleagues, he made his way out into the big world to find another path forward.
Listen to this Hero’s Journey where Thomas pays homage to the brilliant mentors who called out his various gifts and reveals his belief in the mysterious angelic voice that guides his life.
