Bear Grylls Takes On New Territory — Exploring the Holy Land

By Movieguide® Contributor

Bear Grylls is setting off on a new adventure unlike what fans have seen before.

Instead of tracking a crocodile, skinning a snake or sleeping in the desert, the adventureman is journeying to the Holy Land in his new series, JESUS: REFUGEE, RENEGADE, REDEEMER WITH BEAR GRYLLS.

The series premiered on TBN and TBN+ on Jan. 17. In the six-part show, Grylls retraces Jesus’ steps and explores his impact and sacrifice.

“It’s the series I am most proud of ever making, and I pray it will move people from every nation to kneel down and find home,” said Grylls. “This has been an adventure for me like no other. When I heard the stories and the effect Christ had on people, I wanted to come where he lived and walked, and I wanted to find out what he was really like. Jesus is all about love and bringing us back to him. Refugee, Renegade, Redeemer are the parts of Jesus I have always loved. I want viewers to join the adventure!”

“Bear represents the kingdom in a new way. In this series, he explores the story of Jesus and brings it to viewers,” said TBN president, Matt Crouch. “The greatest adventurer on television telling the greatest adventure story in history. And I’m so proud of it.”

The show is a different spin from MAN VS. WILD or RUNNING WILD WITH BEAR GRYLLS, but Grylls still shows off some of his survival skills in JESUS: REFUGEE, RENEGADE, REDEEMER.

Grylls shared on Instagram last week:

This series has been a really personal journey of exploration, following in the footsteps of Christ through Israel. I took motorbike, ropes, parachutes and adventure gear, and travelled the land, to find out what really happened 2000 years ago. Why did everyday people love this man, yet the religious elite fear him so much? And why is the life and death or a humble builder living under Roman occupation relevant to our own lives today? We finished filming this series one week before the October 7th attack. What we learnt along the way has been life changing….

A new episode will premiere each Friday at 8 p.m. ET.
