Douglas Brouwer on The Deeper Meaning of Travel & Pilgrimage

Is travel just about destinations, or is there something more? Douglas Brouwer, seasoned pastor and author of The Traveler’s Path, explores the transformative power of travel and pilgrimage. Discover how journeys—whether across the world or within—shape our faith, perspectives, and understanding of life.==========================================👤 *FEATURED GUEST* (in his own words)For nearly 45 years I’ve been a Presbyterian pastor, serving churches in Wheaton, Illinois, Ann Arbor, Michigan, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and (for five years toward the end of my career) Zürich, Switzerland.I’ve also led mission trips, pilgrimages, and study tours to countries around the world. In recent years, I have embraced the joy and challenge of walking solo along the various Camino paths in Spain and Portugal, pilgrimages that have added depth and insight to my life. In the last few years, I’ve served two churches as an interim pastor—one in Lucerne, Switzerland, and the other in The Hague, Netherlands.My passion for travel and adventure has informed my eight books, which explore themes of faith, life, and the human experience. My latest book, The Traveler’s Path (scheduled for early 2025), finds meaning in all of this setting out and going places and meeting people.
