Day-by-day plan
Day 1: Arrival + spiritual orientation
Readings: 2Set expectations: fewer sites, more Scripture coherence. Keep the day light for jet lag and group cohesion.
Day 2: Jerusalem: teaching and confrontation
Readings: 2Frame the day around Jesus’ public ministry and the cost of discipleship. Add quiet journaling time.
Day 3: Jerusalem: Passion narrative
Readings: 2Do not compress the schedule. Build margin for prayer and silence; avoid “rushing” the Passion story.
Day 4: Jerusalem: Resurrection and restoration
Readings: 2Focus on resurrection faith and restoration. End with a group debrief: what changed internally?
