The Camino Reflection I Promised You — Twelve Years Late

Twelve years ago, I walked 874 kilometres across northern Spain: the Camino de Santiago Frances, and then the Camino Fisterra all the way to the end of the known world before Columbus changed the map. When I got home, I promised myself — and some of you — a reflection on what the Camino had done to me. Life happened. The reflection never came. And then, less than a year after the Camino, I moved to Cambodia, and the Camino quietly faded into the background of life in a foreign land. Until now. I finally sat down and made the video I've been owing you - and myself - for twelve years. It's not a travelogue of what happened on the road. It's about what the Camino actually changed in me, why I think it led directly to my move to Cambodia, and what I'm still carrying from it today. If you've been following this blog for a while, you'll recognize some of the stories. If you're new here and found this page searching for Camino content - welcome. I think you'll find something in this video worth sitting with, whether you've walked the Camino or are still dreaming about it.

I'd love to know: what has your Camino - or your own long journey - taught you about what to hold on to and what to let go of? Leave a comment below. Ultreia. 🙏

Who Do You Say I Am?

During Eucharistic Adoration one day, I heard Jesus say to me: make a video about Me.

So I did.

"But what about you? Who do you say I am?" — Matthew 16:15

I asked seven people from five countries that same question. And then I gave my own answer.

If this video leads even one person to genuinely ask "Who do I say He is?" — that's enough. That's the whole point.

Set Your Heart: Guided Spiritual Practices for Everyday Life

"Since you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God" (Colossians 3:1)

This verse is the foundation of my book Raised with Him and the inspiration behind this Set Your Heart audio-video series. But what does it actually mean to "set your heart" on God in the middle of real life—when you're frustrated in traffic, hurt by someone's words, or overwhelmed by circumstances you can't control?

In July 2025, during the Jubilee Year, I had a jarring experience in Rome that brought this question into sharp focus. I encountered Christians—ordained sisters and an elderly man—whose behavior was shockingly rude and unkind. It took me a while to process the contradiction: people who presumably spent their lives devoted to God, yet seemed entirely disconnected from His character in those moments. I realized that many of us, myself included, lack practical tools for applied Christianity—for actually reflecting God's heart when life gets hard, people get difficult, and our emotions run high.

That's what this series is about. Each video explores one attribute of God's character and shows you how to practically align your heart with His—not just during your quiet time, but in the messy, frustrating, beautiful moments of everyday life. Whether you're dealing with chaos you can't control, people who drain you, or just the general stress of being human, these practices will help you learn to set your heart on the God who is sovereign, gentle, just, wise, peaceful, hopeful, and above all, love itself. The ultimate goal isn't just to manage your emotions or get through the day—it's genuine heart transformation. Through small, intentional daily acts of following God's character, you become more like Him: patient where you were anxious, loving where you were judgmental, surrendered where you were controlling.

These are audio-guided meditations designed for your real life. You don't need to watch the screen—just press play and listen during your commute, while doing chores, on a walk, or whenever you need a spiritual reset. Each 15-25 minute practice includes grounding exercises, Scripture reflection, guided meditation on God's character, and a practical mission to carry into your day.

New videos are added regularly. Subscribe to stay updated, and if a video resonates with you, please like and share it with someone who needs this reminder too.

Peace & Grace be with you.
