For more than a thousand years, pilgrims have journeyed to Santiago de Compostela, Spain, where the remains of the apostle James are believed to rest. Following yellow arrows that wind through France, Portugal, and Spain, more than 500,000 people set out each year in search of something deeper than a destination. Some go for the physical challenge or sense of adventure. Others are longing for community. Many are seeking healing, hope, purpose, or a deeper connection with God. Along the way, pilgrims often discover that the greatest transformation happens not at the end of the journey, but in the walking itself.
In Romans 12, Paul invites followers of Jesus to let the goodness, love, and mercy of God reshape every aspect of their lives. The reshaping begins with a transformed mind before impacting the way we love one another, serve with humility, extend compassion, welcome difference, and meet difficult people with grace. What might happen when this way of life becomes more than an ideal or individual calling, but the shared rhythm of a community?
Join us this week as Faith on Foot concludes by journeying along the Camino de Santiago, where pilgrims discover that the road is never meant to be walked alone and where people regularly glimpse something of the beautiful, challenging, transformative community Paul describes—one that makes all the difference to those who belong to it and everyone whose path crosses it.
