Journey to the city of the King

In this introductory episode of Journey to the City of the King, an adaptation of John Bunyan’s The Pilgrim’s Progress, we meet a man living in the "City of Destruction." Influenced by the warnings of a storyteller named Evangelist and a mysterious book, the man becomes burdened by a physical weight representing his fears and seeks a way to the "Beautiful City."

Despite the ridicule of his family and the interventions of his neighbors, Mr. Stubborn and Mr. Putty, he sets out on a perilous journey. The path is immediately challenging as he and Mr. Putty stumble into Misery Marsh, a place that quickly tests their resolve. While his companion abandons the quest at the first sign of trouble, the man’s cry for assistance brings a member of the King’s rescue team named Help, who saves him from sinking and sets him back on his path.
