About The Ancient Path

Study deeply. Teach clearly. Live differently.

The Ancient Path helps people who are hungry for more understand the Bible in context and carry its truth into ordinary life.

Cliff Johnson

Cliff brings nearly 25 years of pastoral and teaching experience to The Ancient Path.

He begins each series with a blank page, works through dozens of sources, traces historical and literary context, and keeps asking one question: what should this truth change?

How the teaching works

Context. Connection. Practice.

Context

Read the story in its world before rushing to ours.

Connection

Follow repeated ideas, details, people, and promises across Scripture.

Practice

Name the action, habit, or question the truth puts in front of us.

From listeners

The goal is not just more information.

Cliff is a world-class teacher.

I have grown so much in my faith as a result of these teachings.

My hunger and love for the Bible has exploded!

I have heard some of these Bible stories dozens of times, and yet you brought out details and insight I have never heard in 40 years as a Christian.

Start where the story is

Pick one episode and listen for the detail you missed.

Then return to the passage for yourself. The Ancient Path is here to help you keep walking, not to do the walking for you.
