IN PARTNERSHIP WITH INSPIRATION TRAVEL
{{current_date_full}}
FROM THE EDITOR
In Innsbruck, colorful Old Town streets sit beneath the Austrian Alps, with centuries of history to explore before heading into the mountains. We’re opening this issue in Austria, then looking toward Galicia, Colorado and one of Norway’s great Christian pilgrimages—places that invite us to slow down, discover something new and appreciate God’s creation.
For those ready to trade mountain views for Caribbean waters, our trip spotlight features Salem Media’s November cruise with Mike Gallagher, Scott Jennings and Larry O’Connor. Whether you’re planning your next getaway or simply exploring from home, we hope you find a little inspiration here.
Innsbruck is more than a ski gateway. Spend the morning walking Old Town's Habsburg-era streets, past the Golden Roof and Court Church's silent bronze sentinels, then be up in the Alps by lunch.
VERSE FOR THE JOURNEY
“He made the storm be still, and the waves of the sea were hushed.
Then they were glad that the waters were quiet, and he brought them to their desired haven.”
Psalm 107:29-30 (ESV)
