Across the years, many of us have noticed something important:
Nomadic and clan-based communities often recognize parts of the Bible as normal life that others see as distant or symbolic.
Shepherds. Tents. Extended families. Mobility. Shared responsibility.
These aren’t just background details in Scripture — they describe real social worlds that still exist today.
I’ve spent decades learning alongside nomadic peoples and reflecting together on how their lifeways can help all of us see Scripture more clearly. Friends listening have often asked me to put these life lessons into a book. Well, right now I've put together a course for that!
Out of those shared conversations has come a new learning journey:
Let Nomads Move You
It’s designed to help you:
• Recognize the nomadic and clan-based context of the Bible
• Notice the settled assumptions many of us bring to Scripture
• Discover how mobility, kinship, and shared life shape biblical faith
• Reflect on what this means for following the Good Shepherd today
We’re hosting a free live online masterclass where you can get a taste of this “nomadic lens” and why it matters for how we read Scripture and engage with nomadic communities.
If you’ve ever wondered how the world of the Bible connects with the world of nomads today, this is a great place to start.
Details are in the comments below. We’d be glad to have you join the conversation.
