Welcome To Route 77: The Royal Road Of Redemption

The Road of Redemption is an ongoing mile-marker series that starts in the Old Testament and will roll all the way to Revelation, with new mile-markers weekly—just like cruising historic Route 66 from Chicago to Santa Monica: one legendary highway, sixty-six unforgettable stops.

At each “mile marker” you’ll find a concise snapshot, an anchor New Living Translation passage, cultural context, and practical next steps that connect ancient events to your present moment.

Whether you’re new to Scripture or returning after a long detour, these waypoints are designed to be:

  • Accessible — clear, welcoming language with no insider jargon.
  • Honest — naming the real questions and struggles we all face.
  • Action-oriented — every marker ends with simple reflections and journaling prompts you can start today.

Just as Route 66 travelers discover hidden gems in each small town, you’ll uncover Christ woven through every biblical book—beginning with Mile Marker 1: “Eden Lost, The Broken Garden Gate” in Genesis and cruising step-by-step toward the New Testament horizon.

So grab your Bible, get a journal, fuel up your curiosity, and join the caravan. The road is open—and the journey is always better together.

Genesis 4: East of Eden
Mile Marker 2

Genesis 4: East of Eden

Genesis 4 is not just Cain’s story—it’s ours. Envy, rage, comparison, and fear push us further east of Eden. The first murder begins with a silent rivalry and ends in blood-soaked ground. But even as Cain is driven away, God marks him with mercy. Thi...
Genesis 5–9: Washed but Not Whole
Mile Marker 3

Genesis 5–9: Washed but Not Whole

Genesis 5–9 is more than a flood story. It is a divine lament. The world was washed, but not yet whole. Noah’s obedience saved lives—but not hearts. The ark preserved life, but not purity. This Mile Marker invites us to face the difference between su...
Genesis 10–11: Towers and Tongues
Mile Marker 4

Genesis 10–11: Towers and Tongues

Genesis 10–11 tells the story of Babel—a tower built to secure a name, a place, a future without God. But pride fractures, and God scatters. This Mile Marker invites us to examine what we are building in our lives, and why. The road of redemption nev...
The Call and the Cost
Mile Marker 5

Genesis 12–14: The Call and the Cost

God’s call to Abram wasn’t cushioned by clarity or comfort. It began with a simple command: go. In Genesis 12–14, Abram steps away from everything familiar and walks into risk, fear, and eventual triumph. From the famine in Egypt to the battle to res...

Mile Marker 6

Genesis 15–17: Promises in the Dark

God’s promises often shine brightest in our darkest seasons. In Genesis 15–17, Abram walks through uncertainty, fear, and failure—yet still finds himself wrapped in covenant. When faith flickers and timelines stretch, God doesn’t withdraw. He binds H...
Genesis 20–21-Laughter and the Long Delay
Mile Marker 8

Genesis 20–21: Laughter and the Long Delay

In Genesis 20–21, promises delayed finally arrive. Isaac is born. Joy erupts. But not without complication. Abraham’s fears resurface. Hagar and Ishmael are cast out. God protects both Sarah and Hagar, both Isaac and Ishmael. This Mile Marker explore...
