The Moabite Stone and the Story of Ruth
Scholars have long debated the existence of the Moabites until the discovery of the Moabite stone in 1868. Frederick Klein, a travelling medical missionary, first made the discovery. It was then further investigated by a French archaeologist, Charles Clermont-Ganneau. The stele was inscribed with a message from King Mahesa of Moab, who is also mentioned in the biblical book of Kings. One of the most touching stories about a Moabite is found in the Book of Ruth. It’s a story of heartbreak, inspiration, and restitution. Join us this week as we dig deeper into this fascinating story.
The Black Box
The tragic plane crash that claimed the life of Reverend Hubert Warren remained a mystery, but nearly two decades later, his son, David Warren, set out to change that. Inspired by his childhood fascination with radios and recording devices, he invented the flight data recorder, now known as the black box—a device that would revolutionise air safety. However, his groundbreaking idea was initially met with resistance, as pilots feared it would invade their privacy. Despite the pushback, Warren persisted, and his invention eventually became a mandatory feature on all commercial flights worldwide. But why was it originally rejected? How did a simple childhood gift spark one of the most important aviation breakthroughs? And why is the “black box” actually bright orange? Join us as we uncover the incredible story behind this life-saving invention.

Ned Kelly – The Outlaw
In June 1880, the Kelly gang clashed with the Victoria Police in a long-anticipated shootout. When the police arrived in the small town of Glenrowan, where the gang was holed up, they quickly donned their homemade iron armour, crafted from stolen ploughboards. Whatever else Ned Kelly may have been; he was undoubtedly innovative. Join us this week as we explore his story and examine the Biblical armour that God has prepared for each of us.
Dinosaurs and Fossils – Prehistoric Giants
Since the early 19th century, discoveries of fossilized bones have fascinated scientists. From Mary and Joseph Anning’s 1810 discovery of the bones of a marine reptile in Lyme Regis, England, to the discovery of the mysterious and ferocious dinosaurs in 1820, these forgotten giants, buried beneath layers of rock and earth, have opened our eyes to creatures beyond our wildest imaginings. But long before the discovery of these bones, the Bible offered us glimpses of strange creatures that had frolicked in the sea and sailed through the air. The mighty leviathan, who is described as a great marine beast writhing through the ocean, and the strange and fearsome winged serpents who floated through the arid desert air populate the pages of the Scriptures, telling us that perhaps these creatures were brought to life by the hand of a loving creator. In this program we’ll take a look at some of these amazing creatures: who they were, where they lived and what their origins were. Join us as we take a fascinating look at these giant marine reptiles, flying creatures and dinosaurs in this week’s episode of The Incredible Journey.
