SORT BY DESTINATION
Sistine Chapel
Even if you’ve never visited Rome, the Sistine Chapel inside the Vatican Palace may have a familiar feel. This 13th-century chapel, built to the dimensions of Solomon’s Temple (1 Kings 6), is where cardinals meet to elect a new pope. It also houses some of the most famous and widely reproduced painted scenes known to man.
Parthenon
Thought leaders come to the Parthenon not to agree with all that the ancient Greeks believed but to learn from them. They come in the spirit of Francis Bacon, who wrote, “Read not to contradict and confute; nor to believe and take for granted; nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider.”
Grand Canyon
Traveling to the Grand Canyon with your hiking boots ready is more than an exercise that will test your physical stamina. Hiking the canyon will also exercise your worldview. You’ll be invited to compare theories that measure the canyon rock’s longevity in billions of years against the belief of creation by an eternal God.
Lincoln Memorial
Surpassing 8 million guests last year, the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC, welcomes more visitors annually than any other site in America. In all likelihood, you have either made your trek to the memorial that honors America’s 16th president — or you will someday.
