Pursue The Old Paths
At Pursue the Old Paths, we are committed to faith-based education that equips skilled craftsmen and tradesmen with the knowledge and integrity to excel in their fields.

Our Vision
Who We Are
Restore the timeless values of integrity, mastery, and purpose in vocational work.
Founded by JD Kimbrell, Pursue the Old Paths was born out of a desire to restore the timeless values of integrity, mastery, and purpose in vocational work. In today’s fast-paced world, many traditional trades and crafts are losing their foundational principles. We aim to bridge this gap by providing education that not only hones skills but also instills biblical values that guide everyday work and decision-making.
Our educational approach integrates faith with vocation, ensuring that tradesmen and craftsmen not only develop expertise in their field but also understand the deeper purpose behind their work. Our Bible courses serve as a crucial link between Jewish and Christian theologies, offering a comprehensive understanding of biblical principles that shape work ethics, leadership, and craftsmanship.
Pursue the Old Paths is more than just an educational initiative—it is a space dedicated to Master Craftsmanship, Honesty and Integrity in Business, Classical Education, and above all, Family. We believe that strong families and communities are the backbone of both personal success and societal growth. By emphasizing the connection between faith, work, and family, we equip individuals not only with skills but also with a lasting legacy of values to pass down through generations.
Through our bi-monthly newsletter, we provide ongoing insights, historical perspectives, and faith-based discussions to support our community. We believe that by reviving the old paths of wisdom, discipline, and faith, we can empower individuals to build a future that honors God through their work.
Experience
At Pursue the Old Paths, we emphasize the importance of hands-on experience in mastering a trade. Our courses are designed to blend biblical teachings with real-world application, ensuring that students not only learn the theory behind their craft but also gain practical skills that prepare them for success. We focus on mentorship, guided practice, and historical craftsmanship principles to restore the dignity of vocational work, while also encouraging family involvement in passing down trade knowledge through generations.
Education
Our faith-based educational programs bridge the gap between technical expertise and biblical wisdom. Through a structured curriculum that explores both theological concepts and trade-specific training, we provide a well-rounded approach to learning. Whether you are seeking to deepen your understanding of the Bible or refine your vocational skills, our courses are tailored to equip you with both knowledge and purpose. Our commitment to classical education ensures that students gain not only modern skills but also an appreciation for time-honored traditions.
Certificate
Upon successful completion of our courses, students receive a certificate that reflects their dedication to both their trade and their faith. Our certification not only signifies a mastery of skills but also an adherence to biblical principles in workmanship, integrity, and service. This recognition serves as a testament to the values we uphold and the high standards we set for those who pursue the old paths, fostering a legacy of excellence that can be passed down within families and communities.
