Growing up, my spiritual journey has always been a huge part
of my life. My freshmen year of college I had a professor for a History or New
Testament class, his name was Dr. Paul Shockley. The purpose of the class was to
learn the historical account of early biblical times, with a focus on Jesus’ ministry. Every summer the
professor takes a group of 10 students from various seminaries to travel to
Jerusalem and the greater area where Christianity began. After hearing his
stories, visiting such a historical and spiritual area of the world has
remained on my bucket list. It would be truly remarkable to visit areas
throughout Israel and Egypt. To see the Sea of Galilee, Mt Sinai, the wailing
wall, and to walk around where Jesus sat at the Garden of Gethsemane.
Many
religions and faiths have a sort of pilgrimage or Hajj. I would love to embark
on a similar spiritually enriching journey through an area of the world that
lead to Christianity.
