Day Ten: The Final Steps of the Journey
posted on Thursday September 18 2025 at 12:00 am UTC
It is hard to put into words the last days, hours, and moments of Jesus’ earthly life, but today we walked those steps. We began on the Mount of Olives, taking in the sweeping panorama of Jerusalem. From this hill, Jesus entered the city during His final week, crossing...
Day Nine: From Springs to Spirit
posted on Tuesday September 16 2025 at 7:00 pm UTC
City, Spring, Tunnel, Pool, Road, and Steps This may sound like a strange collection of words, but together they tell the story of Jerusalem, from its earliest mentions in Scripture to the birth of the church. We began in the City of David, where David’s palace...
Day Eight: A Tale of Two Kings
posted on Monday September 15 2025 at 6:00 pm UTC
We began today in Jerusalem, ascending to the Temple Mount. It is impossible not to be overwhelmed by the scale of what King Herod constructed here. Nearly twenty-seven American football fields in size, it would have been the largest temple platform in the ancient world....
Day Seven: That the World May Know
posted on Sunday September 14 2025 at 6:00 pm UTC
Today we traced the story of God’s plan across three places, each declaring the same truth: things are not always as they seem, but God’s purpose is that the whole world may know Him. We began in the Jezreel Valley, a landscape stained with the blood of countless...
Day Six: Walking in the Steps of Our Rabbi
posted on Sunday September 14 2025 at 12:00 am UTC
Dallas Willard once said, “A disciple is someone who is learning to live their life as if Jesus were living His life through them.” That is the heart of today: discipleship, and the call of Christ. On the northern shore of the Sea of Galilee, Jesus...
Day Five: Cost of the Calling
posted on Friday September 12 2025 at 8:00 pm UTC
Today we journeyed through the Upper Galilee and into the Golan Heights, pressing northward all the way to Israel’s border. Along the way, we stepped back into the first century by baking bread, smashing grapes, crushing olives. These simple practices connected us to the world...
Day Four: What’s Your Source?
posted on Friday September 12 2025 at 3:00 am UTC
Today we journeyed from the Dead Sea to the Sea of Galilee. That is a lot of ground to cover, with countless stories and scriptures rising from each site. Yet if we boil it down to one truth, it is this: What is your source? At Masada, we were reminded...
Day Three: Dwelling with Us
posted on Wednesday September 10 2025 at 10:00 pm UTC
The day began in the wilderness of Wadi Rum, where some rose early to soar in a hot air balloon above the sandstone valleys. From the heights, the landscape looked almost otherworld. It’s like stepping onto another planet. Others greeted the sunrise from the back of a camel, taking...
Day Two: Whisper in the Wilderness
posted on Tuesday September 09 2025 at 11:00 pm UTC
We began our day walking among one of the wonders of the ancient world, Petra. Popularized by Hollywood’s Indiana Jones. Remembered as the city of the Nabateans, it is far more than a dramatic sandstone backdrop. Petra lies in the land of Edom, home of Esau’s...
Day One: Posture, Perspective, Presence
posted on Monday September 08 2025 at 7:00 pm UTC
Today was about posture, perspective, and presence. Posture before God as fully alert, fully awake, fully attentive, fully surrendered. We were reminded that our own strength cannot carry us where we are going. It will take the presence of God. Perspective that...
Day 00 - ARRIVAL IN JORDAN
posted on Monday September 08 2025 at 12:00 am UTC
Day Zero: The Journey Begins This morning, thirty-seven pilgrims set out. Some traveled alone, some came with a friend, others with family. All left behind what was familiar, homes, jobs, routines, to step into something far greater. Over twenty-four hours of flights, airports,...
