Over 500 years ago, a young German monk named Martin Luther challenged the power and authority of the most powerful empire on earth. He set in motion a train of revolution, war and conflict that would reshape Western civilisation and lift it out of the Dark Ages.

In the university town of Wittenberg, not all that far from the Rhine River, the young Martin Luther strides down the busy street to Wittenberg’s Castle church, the most prominent and important building in the town. On the church door, he nails a sheet of paper with a list of 95 theses that challenge the power and authority of the most powerful empire on earth – an empire that had ruled for a thousand years. Now he’s on a collision course with the most powerful people of the time – the Pope and the Emperor.

Joseph belonged to a big, messy family of 13 siblings, four wives and one father. Joseph had a pre-eminence position as the oldest son of his father's most beloved wife. His father, Jacob, doted on him and lavished him with love. Jacob's unwise favouritism towards Joseph stirred up his older brothers' jealousy. While visiting them while they were away from home, grazing the family's extensive flocks and herds, Joseph's brothers sold him as a slave. It was a turning point in both Joseph's life and the life of his entire family. His grief-stricken father refused to be comforted, his guilt-ridden brothers couldn't escape the shame of what they had done, and Joseph himself faced the horror of a life of slavery in Egypt. Instead of choosing to despair, Joseph chose to surrender his life fully to the God of his father and therein lay the secret of his remarkably successful life. Join us as we take a look at the remarkable story of Joseph's journey into a life of slavery in Egypt.

And what was so unique about His death and funeral that they’re celebrated around the world by billions of people each year.

Scholars have long debated the existence of the Moabites until the discovery of the Moabite stone in 1868. Frederick Klein, a travelling medical missionary, first made the discovery. It was then further investigated by a French archaeologist, Charles Clermont-Ganneau. The stele was inscribed with a message from King Mahesa of Moab, who is also mentioned in the biblical book of Kings. One of the most touching stories about a Moabite is found in the Book of Ruth. It’s a story of heartbreak, inspiration, and restitution. Join us this week as we dig deeper into this fascinating story.

The tragic plane crash that claimed the life of Reverend Hubert Warren remained a mystery, but nearly two decades later, his son, David Warren, set out to change that. Inspired by his childhood fascination with radios and recording devices, he invented the flight data recorder, now known as the black box—a device that would revolutionise air safety. However, his groundbreaking idea was initially met with resistance, as pilots feared it would invade their privacy. Despite the pushback, Warren persisted, and his invention eventually became a mandatory feature on all commercial flights worldwide. But why was it originally rejected? How did a simple childhood gift spark one of the most important aviation breakthroughs? And why is the “black box” actually bright orange? Join us as we uncover the incredible story behind this life-saving invention.

In June 1880, the Kelly gang clashed with the Victoria Police in a long-anticipated shootout. When the police arrived in the small town of Glenrowan, where the gang was holed up, they quickly donned their homemade iron armour, crafted from stolen ploughboards. Whatever else Ned Kelly may have been; he was undoubtedly innovative. Join us this week as we explore his story and examine the Biblical armour that God has prepared for each of us.

Since the early 19th century, discoveries of fossilized bones have fascinated scientists. From Mary and Joseph Anning's 1810 discovery of the bones of a marine reptile in Lyme Regis, England, to the discovery of the mysterious and ferocious dinosaurs in 1820, these forgotten giants, buried beneath layers of rock and earth, have opened our eyes to creatures beyond our wildest imaginings.

But long before the discovery of these bones, the Bible offered us glimpses of strange creatures that had frolicked in the sea and sailed through the air. The mighty leviathan, who is described as a great marine beast writhing through the ocean, and the strange and fearsome winged serpents who floated through the arid desert air populate the pages of the Scriptures, telling us that perhaps these creatures were brought to life by the hand of a loving creator.

In this program we'll take a look at some of these amazing creatures: who they were, where they lived and what their origins were. Join us as we take a fascinating look at these giant marine reptiles, flying creatures and dinosaurs in this week's episode of The Incredible Journey.
