This episode of Fish Bag dives into the heart and history of Macba Mornings in Barcelona with special guest Huck Hamill, a foundational figure in skate ministry and long-time friend of host JP. Fish Baggers will get an intimate look at how JP and Huck first connected over Calling All Skaters and the adventures that followed—from their early days leading mission teams in Barcelona, to Huck’s current life balancing family, work, and faith back in the States. Huck shares candid reflections on his journey from the gritty world of sprinkler installation to finding a deeper sense of purpose through fire protection—expressing how trades and everyday jobs can be infused with Kingdom values, integrity, and mission.

Listeners will hear the story of how God-inspired simplicity turned Macba into a staple of the local scene, welcoming everyone from visiting pro skaters to the city’s homeless. The discussion highlights how the spirit of consistency and open leadership has helped Macba Mornings thrive—even after Huck’s departure—with local skaters stepping up to keep the tradition alive.
