Faith Journeys
13 February 2025
This September 22nd – 3rd October 2025, join Rev Dr Michael Jensen on a spiritually enriching pilgrimage that explores the enduring legacy of two titanic figures in Christian discipleship—Martin Luther and Dietrich Bonhoeffer. This Faith Journeys tour invites you to step away from the everyday and delve deep into the heart of what it means to follow Christ in our modern world.
During this immersive journey, you will have the opportunity to retrace the steps of these remarkable leaders whose lives continue to inspire and challenge believers today. Martin Luther, the visionary reformer, rekindled the New Testament message of justification by faith alone, emphasizing that God’s grace is freely given. In contrast, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, with his courageous stand in the face of tyranny during one of history’s darkest hours, taught us that true discipleship comes at a cost—a cost that, while steep, is indispensable for a life of authentic faith. As Rev Dr Michael Jensen beautifully encapsulates,
“In Martin Luther and Dietrich Bonhoeffer, we encounter two of the most significant figures in the history of Christian discipleship. Luther was the prophet of God’s free grace in Christ who recovered the New Testament gospel of justification by faith alone. Amid the darkest days of the twentieth century, Bonhoeffer pointed to the cost of Christian discipleship. Grace is free but never cheap. By retracing the footsteps of these two remarkable yet flawed figures, we will be invited to consider what it means to follow Christ in our own time.”
This powerful reflection sets the tone for our journey. It is an invitation to examine the delicate balance between receiving God’s unmerited grace and embracing the challenges of living out that grace in a complex world. Throughout the tour, you will be guided through historical sites, participate in reflective discussions, and engage in moments of quiet contemplation designed to deepen your understanding of discipleship.
The itinerary is carefully curated to blend historical exploration with opportunities for personal spiritual growth. Whether you are a lifelong follower of Christ or someone seeking a renewed connection with your faith, this journey oKers insights that are both timeless and urgently relevant. You’ll encounter inspiring locations, listen to stories that have shaped Christian thought, and be part of a community of like-minded travellers on their own paths toward deeper faith.
