Faithwalking Stories - Marcos Leon

In this episode of Faithwalking Stories, Ken speaks with Marcos Leon, Faithwalking's Spanish Program Team Leader, about his Faithwalking journey both personally and as a member of our staff. A native of Ecuador, Marcos has been living in the US for more than 20 years and has been a part of Faithwalking in a variety of roles since the very beginning. In addition to his Faithwalking work, Marcos is a therapist and a spiritual director. He is also a husband and father of five.Marcos and Ken spend time reflecting on the origin and evolution of Faithwalking over the years before turning to the growing impact of Faithwalking in Spanish-speaking countries, particularly throughout Central America. They discuss both the unique challenges and meaningful opportunities involved in working with participants from the broader community there, as well as with ministry teams serving in the region. Their conversation highlights the powerful and often moving ways Faithwalking impacts people across cultures, "translating" so effectively because it addresses our shared human experience.When asked at the end whether he had anything else to share with those listening, Marcos invited them to trust and enjoy the process: "The process is transformative...because it is a process that involves and sees the human being as a whole...and it works!" "Being a therapist I can tell you it is one of the most comprehensive and not expensive ways in which you can find a lot of healing and wholeness."This episode was recorded in September 2026.
