CTN 165: A Pilgrimage Based on Martin Luther and the Protestant Reformation

Whether you are a Lutheran or not, it's hard to deny that Martin Luther made a huge impact on a large number of denominations to this day. In this episode, we will follow the early Church up to the Reformation and take a closer look at some of the cities where Martin spoke up against the practices that the church was falling into in his day. We will also take a closer look at some of the places you can visit there today. (Although if you are watching this on our YouTube channel - you will be able to better see these places as well.)

CTN 164: Following The Footsteps of Paul in Greece

Did you know that Paul visited at least 5 different cities in Greece, and two of them received letters that we now know as part of the New Testament. In this episode, we will take a closer look at all 5 cities, what Paul did there, and what you can see there today. As Greece is largely known for it's philosophers - it comes as no surprise that Paul spent a lot of his time discussing concepts like the resurrection with them.
