Be TRANSFORMED on PILGRIMAGE, Open Yourself to ENCOUNTER | Philip Ryall| Episode #085
Philip Ryall is the founder of Harvest Journeys and the second Australian BeatiDudes guest.
For over 30 years, Harvest Journeys has been singularly devoted to faith-based travel. They are 100% dedicated to Catholic pilgrimage and providing every traveler with the greatest opportunities to reap the abundant fruit that pilgrimage provides.
Every pilgrim group is accompanied by a Catholic who helps to connect the external physical journey with the interior faith journey by providing opportunities for spiritual guidance, scripture, prayer, and reflection at holy sites and access to the Sacraments.
As a young man, Philip joined his father on a series of road trips throughout Australia that helped to set his career in motion as he found his love for planning the journey and exploring God’s beauty. He realized over the years that pilgrimage is not just about information, it’s about transformation.
Join the show as Philip shares hilarious stories of moments where an Australian concept gets lost in translation for American audiences. He then goes on to share stories of miraculous healing in Lourdes and reconciliation in the Holy Land that are only made possible through the encounter moments of pilgrimage.
On Blessed are the Joke Makers, the Dudes must take on the persona of a Broadcast News or Sports Anchor to address the prompt, “There will be ______ in eternity.”
The Question of the Day is to reflect on your sleep habits and the memories you have of your dreams, or lack thereof.
On Reverse Simpsons, Philip presents the Dudes, each with their own Akubra (Australian hats and Aussie tradition).
