Day-by-day plan
Day 1: Arrival + reset day
Readings: 2Light schedule. Use the day for orientation, safety/logistics briefing, and group spiritual goals.
Day 2: Nazareth: incarnation and calling
Readings: 2Introduce the concept of ‘place-based discipleship’: locations serve Scripture, not the reverse.
Day 3: Capernaum + early ministry rhythm
Readings: 2Focus on Jesus’ authority in teaching, deliverance, and healing—then reflect on modern discipleship practice.
Day 4: Teaching day: Sermon on the Mount
Readings: 1Slow day with long reading. Replace some travel with Scripture immersion and discussion.
Day 5: Parables and faith under pressure
Readings: 2Plan flexible boat/waterfront time depending on weather. Build margin for group needs.
Day 6: Transition day + rest margin
Readings: 1Treat transfer as part of the narrative: ‘setting His face toward Jerusalem.’ Avoid late-night over-programming.
Day 7: Jerusalem: public ministry and confrontation
Readings: 2Maintain a clear arc: cleansing/teaching → opposition → the cost of witness.
Day 8: Jerusalem: the Last Supper and betrayal
Readings: 1Set a reverent pace. Add a guided communion/reflection moment appropriate to your tradition.
Day 9: Jerusalem: crucifixion and meaning
Readings: 2Keep the day emotionally realistic. Avoid stacking too many extra sites that distract from the core reading.
Day 10: Resurrection + commissioning
Readings: 2End with a concrete ‘rule of life’ plan: prayer, Scripture, community, mission after the trip.
