Serving Along The Way: Hospitality and Evangelization on the Camino


Listen Later

While many people have walked the Camino as pilgrims, what is it like on the other side – serving pilgrims? In this episode, we welcome Greg Shurman, a retired middle school history teacher and devoted father, who shares about both his experiences walking and helping pilgrims on this ancient pilgrimage. Greg takes us through his journey along the Camino Frances and the Camino del Baztan, reflecting on the spiritual enrichment and profound connections he encountered along the way. His stories of volunteering in hospitality (while fulfilling a childhood dream!) shed light on the joy of service and the Camino's unique ability to bring people together.

Discover how the Camino fosters simplicity, mutual reliance, and spiritual reflection. Greg shares heartfelt anecdotes of comforting fellow pilgrims and the unexpected kindness that marked his journey. Join us as we not only explore the spiritual growth that comes with pilgrimage but also the power of being a good listener and the transformative impact of simple, compassionate actions. 

This episode is a call to embrace the Camino's life-changing potential, and Greg's experiences might just be the motivation you need to take that first step on your own Camino! Tune in and let Greg's journey inspire your own!
