A low, gull-crying sky stretches over the Sea of Galilee as your small group steps from an air-conditioned van onto warm stone. Salt-tangent wind pushes across the water and the shoreline seems to remember footsteps; reed beds rustle like a congregation. This is a day spent tracing the routes described in the Gospels—markets, synagogues, and a hillside where a sermon once changed a crowd.
