Join me on a pilgrimage to Santiago!
Many have heard of El Camino de Santiago, or the Way of St. James. Some have had the opportunity to experience it, to walk one of the numerous routes to Santiago de Compostela. Far more have read the book of St. James, perhaps multiple times.
In this month-long devotional we will follow both of them. I’ll be sharing what I learned along the way, walking from Porto to Santiago de Compostela, while reading through the book of James. Each day a new devotional post will be available.

Devotional Day 5 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by…
