Скачать или смотреть Walking the Camino at 69: Faith, Fear, and Finding Joy on the Camino Francés

What makes someone walk nearly 500 miles across Spain at age 69?

In this powerful episode of The Way to Your Why Podcast, host Efrain Mendoza interviews Ron Blake, a retired pastor who walked the Camino Francés just weeks after turning 69. What began as a personal goal became a deeply physical, emotional, and spiritual journey—from the brutal climb over the Pyrenees to the overwhelming joy of arriving in Santiago de Compostela.

Ron shares:

Why it took years to finally say “yes” to the Camino
How he trained physically—and what no training could prepare him for
The kindness of strangers and “Camino angels”
Powerful moments from Pilgrim Masses that changed his faith
Why the Camino doesn’t end in Santiago—it begins when you return home

Whether you’re considering walking the Camino, searching for spiritual renewal, or simply love meaningful life stories, this conversation will inspire you.
