Come walk the ancient paths that Jesus walked. But don't just hike these paths to see biblical sites, hike these paths in order to grow a passionate relationship with your rabbi, Jesus and learn how to live and lead as He's called you to live and lead. Come experience the trip of a lifetime as we see the context of the Bible... in context! I promise you'll never be the same.
