Why did Moses stand on that one point above Rephidim? So both sides of the battle could see his raised hands. Standing where Amalek attacked Israel, Ken Fish reads the terrain, and the infantry logic of the flanking move still holds. (See Exodus 17)
You'll stand on this same ground on our Mount Sinai & Moses' Petra Tour this fall, Saudi Arabia & Jordan, with Dr. Abidan Shah teaching throughout. October 21 to 29, 2026. From $4,629 per person.

We took the group to Istanbul's Basilica Cistern today. It's a massive underground chamber from the 500s that was literally lost for centuries until fish started showing up in people's basements. This city is something else!

During the Exodus, the water gushing from the split rock drew the attention of the Amalekites and it resulted in a memorable battle! Ken Fish of Orbis Ministries discusses during a recent trip with Living Passages to northwest Saudi Arabia where we visited major sites of the Exodus, including the Split Rock of Horeb, Midian and the real Mount Sinai.
We are going back in October 2026 with Dr. Abidan Shah, January 2027 with Dr. David Putnam and February 2027 with Joel Richardson and Wes Martin.
New from Joel Richardson: we just visited the ruins of ancient Edessa in southeastern Turkey, capital of a forgotten Syriac kingdom that claims to have a handwritten letter from Jesus. The whole story is wild. Watch below.

Our group is following the footsteps of Paul in Greece now. This is the Corinth Canal: four miles of solid rock cut between the Aegean and the Ionian seas. Paul left from a harbor just east of here and had to go hundreds of miles around the Peloponnese instead.
We just published the backstory on our blog, including who actually started digging this thing and why they stopped. It's stranger than you'd expect.

Our group with Teresa Gardner is now in Turkey. On Trinity Sunday they visited the rock hewn caves of Cappdocia where early Christian communities lived and worshipped together -- and continued the praise!
Pigeon Valley, Cappadocia. The soft volcanic stone here was carved by wind and water over millions of years -- and then by human hands. Early Christians fleeing Roman persecution made refuge in these rocks, hollowing out homes, churches, and whole underground cities. Today our group walked it.

What is a chariot scene with no driver, the horses still bound to the vehicle, and four men before it as though in water doing on a rock above an ancient road in South Sinai? Read about what we saw near Serabit El-Khadim with one of the Sinai's senior archaeologists.
