When speaking of words creating new worlds, it’s really important we explore the ancient world in order to better understand today’s world. In 2022, I had the privilege of co-leading a Biblical studies trip to Israel. What an incredible gift it is to walk and study such depths of history. Then in October 2024, my friend Brent Kladder and I led a Biblical studies trip to Türkiye, which is simply my favorite! This trip follows the missionary journeys of the Apostle Paul, as well as exploring the locations of the seven churches in the book of Revelation. It is an incredible time of tracing the early church through the rest of the Biblical narrative, and into our world today. The hope is to continue to partner with our friends at GTI Tours to explore the places and experiences where the Bible unfolded in real life, which I believe can radically shape and reshape our lives today. These trips will rattle the soul and awaken that which is deepest within, so it would thrill me if you would reach out and inquire about traveling with me for a life changing experience! Send me an email and let’s craft an adventure in hiking and studying the contextual world of the Biblical text!
