Bear Grylls embarks on an immersive, physically demanding journey through the Judean wilderness to explore the rugged reality of Jesus' early life and ministry.
Full Synopsis ›
In this premiere episode, survival expert Bear Grylls travels to the Holy Land to retrace the steps of Jesus of Nazareth, focusing on the harsh, beautiful landscape that shaped His earthly ministry. Shunning air-conditioned tour buses, Grylls dives literally and figuratively into the geography of faith, navigating the treacherous Judean desert, descending into the Jordan River, and examining the historical reality of Jesus as a flesh-and-blood figure who faced extreme physical and spiritual trials. Through heart-pounding outdoor challenges and quiet moments of theological reflection, the episode reframes our understanding of the Gospels by placing Christ’s early days—from His baptism to His temptation in the wilderness—within the raw, unforgiving environment of first-century Judea.
