The Ancient Path with Cliff Johnson
Clear, handcrafted teaching that helps Scripture come alive and gives you a practical next step.

Latest episode · 42:30
Bathsheba's life should not be reduced to one moment. This episode asks what her wider story, Solomon, and Proverbs 31 reveal.
Go beyond the first answer
You can leave Sunday encouraged and still wonder what the passage really means. Growth begins when you keep asking, keep listening, and take responsibility for the next step.
The teaching method
Cliff starts each study from scratch, works through the history and context, connects the details, and asks how the truth should change the way we live.
The result is deep without being hard to follow—and practical without being shallow.
