In case you missed it, head to the link in our bio or wherever you listen to podcasts to check out the Breathe in Place podcast with Rev. James Gilmore!

At just 17 years old, Rev. James Gilmore was asked by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to lead a march in Chicago, an unexpected moment that would shape the course of his life. In this episode, Rev. Gilmore shares his story of growing up in Chicago during the Civil Rights Movement, encountering leaders like Jesse Jackson, and stepping into a life of justice, service, and purpose.

Through his experience with nonviolent training and grassroots organizing, Rev. Gilmore offers a powerful perspective on what it means to say yes when history calls. His story is a compelling reminder that young people have often been central to movements of change and that pilgrimage is not just about where we go, but who we become along the way.

In Elianny’s literary review, she engages with this concept, exploring how critical storytelling may shape the way we encounter others and the world.

Riley’s findings show that when pilgrims experience transcendence on pilgrimage, their sense of self expands to include God, humanity, nature, or existence itself. Pilgrimage serves as a pathway that opens people to these experiences, and it often results in personal and ethical transformation.
