Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) announced that it has begun production on The State of Faith, an unprecedented documentary series that will explore the history of Christianity and its current scope throughout the world.
Through a global exploration across more than 20 key geographic regions, The State of Faith will capture groundbreaking footage and interviews with influential voices and leaders within the faith, charting the historical path the Gospel journeyed, and exploring where, why, and exactly how it spread from 12 followers of Jesus to more than two billion believers worldwide.
“Visually, this is going to be Blue Planet meets National Geographic’s The Story of God with Morgan Freeman,” said the networks Chairman Matt Crouch.
TBN will leverage remote programing, live broadcasts, and edited packages to develop the series, which will air across multiple platforms over a 12-month span and represent more than 50 hours of broadcast content. The State of Faith will be fueled by research from Museum of the Bible scholars, and by the time it airs, will have been in development for three-and-a-half years. The series is slated to premier on TBN in January 2020.
“We aim to reveal the impact Christians and the message of hope and grace have had over generations — from the biggest cities in the world to the most remote villages,” said Crouch. “The Gospel went from being spread on foot by Jesus and His disciples to being sent out at light speed to all four corners of the globe via satellite. That’s a truly remarkable story worth telling!”
