Home to the annual Gilroy Garlic Festival and revered as the infamous birthplace of garlic ice cream, Gilroy is the “Garlic Capital of the World.” Even with the windows rolled all the way up and your car’s vents strategically closed, you’d know you’ve arrived in Gilroy because the sweet smell of garlic wafts pervasively through the air.</span></p> <img src="https://track.hubspot.com/__ptq.gif?a=5914839&amp;k=14&amp;r=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.tms.edu%2Fthe-sound-witness-of-an-ordinary-life&amp;bu=https%253A%252F%252Fblog.tms.edu&amp;bvt=rss" alt="" width="1" height="1" style="min-height:1px!important;width:1px!important;border-width:0!important;margin-top:0!important;margin-bottom:0!important;margin-right:0!important;margin-left:0!important;padding-top:0!important;padding-bottom:0!important;padding-right:0!important;padding-left:0!important; "></content:encoded> <category>Christian Living</category> <pubDate>Tue, 22 Apr 2025 21:26:17 GMT</pubDate> <guid>https://blog.tms.edu/the-sound-witness-of-an-ordinary-life</guid> <dc:date>2025-04-22T21:26:17Z</dc:date> <dc:creator>Matt Ng</dc:creator> </item> <item> <title>Help for the Wearied Traveler</title> <link>https://blog.tms.edu/help-for-the-wearied-traveler</link> <description><div class="hs-featured-image-wrapper"> <a href="https://blog.tms.edu/help-for-the-wearied-traveler" title="" class="hs-featured-image-link"> <img src="https://blog.tms.edu/hubfs/blog%20photo%204.15.25.png" alt="From The Master's Seminary, &quot;Help for the Wearied Traveler&quot;" class="hs-featured-image" style="width:auto !important; max-width:50%; float:left; margin:0 15px 15px 0;"> </a> </div> <p><span style="color: #000000;">John Bunyan’s timeless book, <em>The Pilgrim’s Progress</em>, recounts the story of a man named Christian on his way to the Celestial City.
