What are roots to family dysfunction?   Does time heal all emotional wounds? What issues do children from ministers’ family background go through but won’t tell their parents?  This class focuses on a biblical counseling approach to the above and other common life problems in family relationships. The student will learn to help each family member identify problem areas, and seek to bring healing and resolution among family members.

Shalom!

Picture yourself cupping your hands to drink water at the same spring where Gideon’s band of 300 select men did the same,… climbing the steps that led to the altar of the golden calf in the northern kingdom of Israel,… or sharing a Passover meal similar to one Jesus had with His disciples at the Last Supper.

This is not another pilgrimage that surveys churches and souvenir shops. Instead, I wish to use this experience to teach you God’s Word in its original setting. I have taught Bible classes in over 30 countries. In addition, I lived and studied in the Holy Land for three years. As a result of our time together, you will envision more clearly some of the biblical events and why they occurred as they did.

Together we will travel from Dan to Beersheba, from the Mediterranean Sea to the Dead Sea. The Bible will come alive. You will never read the Scriptures the same way again. My wife and co-host, Jeannette, and I invite you to join us on this trip of a lifetime.

Dr. Keith A. Shubert
