Sent to the Ends of the Earth — The Missionary Journeys of the Twelve Apostles

This episode traces the missionary journeys and enduring legacy of the Twelve Apostles—from Jerusalem to Rome, Antioch to India, and across the ancient world into modern nations—showing how they planted local churches that together formed the one, undivided Church of the first millennium. It explains that “Apostolic teaching” was the living deposit received from Christ—His identity, saving work, sacraments, moral life, and ecclesial structure—faithfully preserved and handed on through apostolic succession. Drawing on Scripture and the witness of early Church Fathers such as Irenaeus of Lyons and Clement of Rome, it presents each Apostle’s mission, spirituality, and associated churches, culminating in their ultimate witness—nearly all sealing the Gospel with martyrdom. The central message is clear: the true Church remains apostolic not by innovation, but by fidelity to what was received, preserved, and handed down from the beginning.
