Episode Description from the Publisher

In this Sunday Soul vault episode, Rachel’s sits down  with six-time Grammy-nominated musician Robert Randolph, they dig into the remarkable instrument behind his signature sound, the sacred steel guitar. This is Part Two of the conversation; be sure to catch Part One as well! Robert shares how he learned to play in church, the generations of family and faith that shaped his music, and how a young musician from New Jersey went from playing in the pews to touring the world. He also talks about studying artists like Stevie Ray Vaughan, discovering rock legends later in life, and the physical and mental challenge of playing an instrument that requires both hands, both feet, knee levers, finger picks, and a willingness to keep learning. The conversation expands beyond music as Robert and Rachel talk about caring for the body, protecting your mental health, and keeping life in perspective.  This episode is a reminder that purpose is not only about what you create but also about who you serve, what you pass along, and how you use what you have been given.
