How are we to teach a written Word in a visual age? How are we to present sixty-six books to a world that would rather watch sixty-six channels?   WTB Video

For a difficult challenge, God raised up an ingenious answer. And placed it in the hearts of six full-time teachers in 1976. Drawing from a concept developed in his Master's thesis, a young seminary student named Bruce Wilkinson created the "Walk Thru the Bible Seminar," where in just one day, just about anyone can learn the geography, characters, and key concepts of every book of the Old Testament in chronological order.

Today the ministry has grown from the original six teachers to tens of thousands. And it has expanded from seminars to include monthly devotionals, video series, and more. In fact, Walk Thru the Bible is now the largest conductor of live seminars on earth, religious or secular. And through our international outreach, we have created the largest faculty of Bible teachers ever assembled.

 
 

Phil Tuttle Selected as President of Walk Thru the Bible Ministries                     

On August 24, 2007, the Board of Directors of Walk Thru the Bible Ministries appointed Phil Tuttle as President by unanimous decision.

Phil is a graduate of Wheaton College and Dallas Theological Seminary.  He has been an asset to Walk Thru the Bible since his arrival in 1992.  During the last 15 years, he has served in several key roles including Dean of Faculty, Senior Vice President for International Ministries (WorldTeach), and Global Teaching Pastor.  Phil is a great complement to the existing senior leadership team, and his background as a pastor, teacher and trainer will shape the worldview through which Walk Thru the Bible will operate into the future.

Phil is a true servant leader and a terrific communicator with a unique blend of biblical instruction, real-life illustration and spontaneous humor.  His extensive global travels for Walk Thru the Bible give him a unique perspective to understand both the opportunities and needs facing our organization.  Phil and his wife Ellen have been married 26 years, and they have two children, Emily and Philip.

We encourage you to pray with us as we trust the Lord in allowing Walk Thru the Bible and its very special family around the globe to be focused, fruitful and faithful in fulfilling the Kingdom mission to which He has called us.  And please regularly pray for Phil, Ellen and their family, that they will continually experience the peace, power and pleasure of our Lord.
 
Walk Thru the Bible, has taught more people life-changing truths than any other Bible seminar organization, hosting more than 2 million participants in its live Bible seminars since 1976.  These seminars blend seamlessly with the ministry of the local church.
 
Over our 30 year history more than 100 million devotionals have been packaged into daily magazines, books, and Bibles to provide day-to-day wisdom which guide readers through the complexities of real life, offering illuminating insights from the Bible along the way.  We also customize devotional content for more than twenty organizations and denominations around the world, including The Navigators, LifeWay Christian Resources, the Nazarenes, and the Salvation Army among others.

The same standards of excellence were applied to video and audio production.  For churches, our teaching series are provided as turn-key kits - complete with course workbooks and leader's guides - everything you need to add life to your teaching without adding to your workload.  We also break each series down into individual tapes at affordable prices.  The great appeal of these teachings is that they aren't based on psychology, opinion, or personal experience.  They're based on the Word of God.
 
Internationally, Walk Thru the Bible's Global Church Ministries has a goal to be a global catalyst for discipleship in every nation around the world.  Having trained 50,000 World Teachers in over 90 countries and intentionally now linking our media ministry with our in country teams led by highly committed nationals the dream of quality Bible teaching available to the whole Body of Christ is becoming a reality.  Together with a network of high impact local churches in 1,000 strategic cities globally we can help meet the desperate need and call of our Lord Jesus Christ for discipleship.
