Learning to flow with God's plan brings real peace. --- Hey, good morning, everyone, and welcome to today's Camino Chronicle. As we... You know, as, as we look at the pat...

Camino Chronicles. Good morning, everyone, and welcome to today's Camino Chronicle as I'm back (laughs) after a couple weeks of actually being on the Camino del Norte in Spain.

Now, I've been saying that a king is comi...

Pastor Skip challenges listeners to move beyond simply being "people who pray" to becoming people whose prayers actually avail-something the Bible calls effectual prayer. Using James 5:16 and the story of Bubba Watson wanting to be a better man rather than just a better golfer, he calls us to pursue righteousness so our prayers carry spiritual weight.
