In this episode of Stunned by Scripture, Dr. Bergsma is joined by his good friend Joan Watson to talk about pilgrimages, prayer, and the impact of women in the Bible.

Joan talks about her new book, Making a Pilgrimage, exploring the biblical roots of pilgrimages, what makes a pilgrimage, and why it matters to go on one—especially during this year of Jubilee.
