This first journey takes Tim to the ancient cities of Jerusalem and Rome, where so much of the Christian story begins. Here, Tim finds objects, including "Augustus of Prima Porta," the Pilate Stone, Alexamenos graffito, and "The Triumph of Faith Over Heresy" that help tell the story of the founding of the Christian faith and then recovery of that foundation at the Reformation.

There may be no country with more church history per square mile than England. Tim explores museums, churches, cemeteries, an orphanage, homes, libraries, and more to find objects here such as the John Rylands Manuscript P52, the Brookes slave ship model, the shackles that bound Thomas Cranmer, and Charles Wesley's organ, showing that sometimes the mundane can tell a profound story.

They're two of the most beautiful countries in the world, two countries that each have deep, Christian roots. On this journey, Tim travels to Ireland and Scotland to learn that while they each have a history all their own, they're also bound together by one special, beautiful object - the Book of Kells.

Tim journeys to the south of France, to learn more about those persecuted French Protestants forever known as the Huguenots, where he learns more about Marie Durand. This journey through France and Switzerland introduces Tim to objects from the life of the scholar Erasmus and theologian John Calvin.

Tim connects the countries of Germany and Ecuador through an oft-overlooked wonder - world-changing advances in technology. Tim traces the spread of Christianity from Martin Luther's revolutionary Ninety-five Theses to the Gutenberg Bible and the printing press to the advent of the radio in South America.

Australia was the last of the continents to hear the gospel, but Christians played a key role in founding it and in settling it. They left some treasures behind for Tim to find, including a special King James Bible, prayer books, and a mission site, giving testimony to the many kind, warm, generous Christians who, in their own way, are part of the legacy begun at the founding of these nations.
