Episodes

▶1. Egypt, Lachish, BeershebaHow important is the actual, physical land of Israel in the promises of God and his plan for the human race? As Dave Stotts reveals in this episode, God’s eternal, unconditional promises to Abraham simply cannot be separated from the land itself.▶2. Arad, Dead Sea, Sodom & Gomorrah, MasadaThere’s nothing like firsthand exposure to the land of the Bible to help us understand why God’s people did the things they did — whether it was the idolatry of the period of the Judges, or the heroic “last stand” of Masada’s defenders after the fall of Jerusalem. In this episode, we get a taste of the harshness of a land upon which God’s people would learn to depend on him for the fulfillment of all of his covenant promises.▶3. Valley of Elah, Ein Gedi, QumranDave Stotts retraces two major events in the life of King David and takes us on a whirlwind — or dust devil — tour of the Dead Sea region. He also brings to light several key evidences of the Bible’s amazing historical accuracy and reliability.▶4. Jerusalem, Conquest Sites, Jericho, HazorDave looks back into the biblical history of Israel to help us better understand why this tiny country — about the size of New Jersey — arouses the deepest passions of not only its inhabitants, but of millions of people worldwide. He also visits key Old Testament ruins to see whether they confirm or contradict the biblical account.▶5. Samaria, Shechem, ShilohDave and his Drive Thru History team venture north into the Palestinian-occupied West Bank, where he visits often-overlooked biblical sites of great importance. Although they are out of the mainstream of biblical tourism, we will see that they are not out of the mainstream of God’s past — and future — attention.▶6. Jezreel, Megiddo, Tel DanDave visits northern Israel and the lush environment of Tel Dan and the Dan Nature Reserve. He also overlooks the Valley of Jezreel, and then examines the strategic — and prophetic — city of Megiddo.▶7. Christmas and the camel, Prophecies of the Messiah, BethlehemDave Stotts and his Drive Thru History research team look into what is arguably the greatest single historical event ever recorded -- the birth of Messiah. As he examines history, tradition, and the biblical record, Dave reveals a few secrets that may surprise even the most ardent students of the ultimate Christian holy day.▶8. Nazareth, Sea of Galilee, Capernaum, House of Peter, TabghaRide with Dave Stotts northward in Israel as he sets his sights on the Sea of Galilee—a site with genuine and unquestionable biblical significance. Along the way, we will examine a number of significant events that took place in that historically rich and beautiful region.▶9. Caesarea Philippi, Caesarea MaritimaDave Stotts first explores the high and varied volcanic tablelands known as the Golan Heights, which form a natural avenue of access into Israel from regions to the east and northeast. In that region he explores ancient Caesarea Philippi and King Agrippa’s Palace. Then, back down on Israel’s coastal plain, Dave examines the site of Caesarea Maritima, Herod the Great’s engineering marvel that provided the land with a “modern” Roman port at the time of Jesus.▶10. Mount Moriah, Temple Mount, Dome of the Rock, Western WallDave navigates his Fiat back to the center of the universe -- Jerusalem. There, he examines the history and intrigue of the Old City, the Temple Mount, and the influence of Jerusalem on the rest of the world.▶11. Hezekiah’s Tunnel, Pool of Bethesda, Kidron Valley, Mount of Olives, Garden of GethsemaneFollow Dave Stotts as he explores Jerusalem and discovers numerous physical proofs and tangible evidences confirming the reliability of the Bible.▶12. Prophecies, Caiaphas, Crucifixion, Resurrection, Church of the Holy SepulcherIn this final episode, Dave retraces the events leading up to the trial, crucifixion, and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth.
