Together, they discuss what it looks like to navigate seasons of uncertainty, grow in our relationship with God, and find peace in not having every answer.

Do Christians need pilgrimage? What does pilgrimage look like? Is there a place for pilgrimage in your own life? In this episode, host Mike Bellanti is joined by Nicole Smith and Taylor Klopatek to reflect on their recent journey through Spain, where they walked the Camino de Santiago.

They also explore the lessons they learned along the way, what it means to follow Jesus as a pilgrim—not just a believer—and how the simplicity, intentionality, and rhythms of pilgrimage can be carried into everyday life long after the journey ends.
