The Rise and Fall of Christian Ireland

The island that once carried the gospel to the ends of the earth is waiting, and you are invited to see it on this truly once-in-a-lifetime Inspire Experience.

Travel on this Inspire Experience, in partnership with Museum of the Bible, with Steve and Jackie Green, co-founders of Museum of the Bible; Keith and Kristyn Getty, the GRAMMY-nominated hymn-writers returning to their native Northern Ireland; and Michael and Lauren Green McAfee, co-founders of Inspire on this Flagship Inspire Experience. Together we will walk the history and story of The Rise and Fall of Christian Ireland.

For a few centuries, Christianity flourished in Ireland. In valleys at the edge of the known world, monks copied Scripture by hand and carried it back to a Europe that had largely forgotten it.

Within living memory, that same island became one of the most secular places in the West. That rise and that fall are the story we follow. With St. Patrick's own ground as our starting point, you will travel from Belfast to Dublin, then settle for three nights in the Connemara countryside before closing in the castle country of County Clare.

Scholars open the history where it happened, we gather for times of worship, and long, relaxed days leave room to rest and to take it in. The story leaves every believer with the same question, and it is the quiet heart of the journey: what does it mean to carry the Word today?
