Meet Your Guide

Hi, I’m Robin Sampson McCarthy.

I am delighted to welcome you to the Patriarchal Era! These stories are dear to my heart because they remind us that God works through  ordinary people  who trusted Him—imperfectly, yet faithfully.

My passion is to help you uncover the life-changing lessons hidden within the lives of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Together in  Genesis 12-50 , we won't just read the stories; we will creatively engage with them, experiencing the depth of God's grace and His redemptive purpose for  your  life.

About This Class

Come Build a "Treasure Journal" with Us.

Move beyond simple reading and step into an immersive creative faith experience. Over  17 engaging lessons , we will use the beautiful "Shabby Chic" aesthetic to bring the ancient world of the Patriarchs to life.

This is more than a study—it is an art project for your soul.

What You’ll Experience:

• Ordinary People, Extraordinary Promises:  See how God builds relationships with us through the "ups and downs" of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

• Creative Immersion:  Deepen your understanding with comprehensive resources, detailed maps, and rich illustrations.

• A Tangible Journey:  Use our exclusive  journaling kits —filled with vintage ephemera, timeline tags, and beautiful verse cards—to document what God is speaking to you.

Whether you are a seasoned Bible student or brand new to the Old Testament, this class offers a transformative way to touch, see, and understand God's incredible plan for humanity.

The Bible can feel overwhelming and confusing, and if you have read through the Bible there is still a chance you may see it as a series of unconnected stories put together at random. To understand this story you need the key.

The Key is Structure

This course will help you easily understand the structure of the twelve Bible history eras. Having this key will enable you to put the major men and women and events together in their proper chronological order, as well as to understand how Jesus is revealed as Messiah throughout both testaments. As we learn about each era, we will Bible journal using different methods.

Unlock the Treasures of God's Word 

• Over twenty years ago I found the 12 Bible Eras system by Max Anders, a classic, simple-to-use guide to Scripture.
•  I used Anders' book as a jumping-off place to write  Bible lessons for my children so I could teach chronologically using the division of the 12 eras. 
• It was awesome! We saw Jesus in every book of the Bible. All the stories combine as ONE UNIFIED STORY!
• Now you can take this class with a group and study one in-depth era study every month. 
• The Bible is made up of 66 books written by 40 different authors from three continents who wrote in three different languages over a period of about 2,000 years. But they all tell one unified story easily studied in 12 individual historical periods.
• When you put the pieces together it is like a beautiful symphony. 
• I looked at many other programs and continued using this 12 Era study because it made the most sense. 
• Each class contains 5 lessons per week and can be completed in a month.
• Lessons can be completed in twenty to thirty minutes.
• Bible journaling the lesson can take 20 minutes to three hours depending on the methods you choose.
