Learn the Story of Polycarp—First Century Martyr

Today, as the church faces increasing opposition and attack, it is important to seek examples of steadfast faith. In the past year, over 2,000 church buildings were attacked, looted, and forcibly closed across the globe, and over 5,600 Christians were martyred for believing in and not denying Christ. Polycarp, the renowned bishop of Smyrna in the second century AD, provides us with an example of unwavering faith during persecution. Learn more about his life and martyrdom by watching the award-winning Polycarp for FREE in RevelationMedia’s online event.

Polycarp prays with the Christians in Smyrna.

At the age of eighty-six, Polycarp was arrested by Roman guards for refusing to deny Christ and worship the emperor. In his life, Polycarp was known for being discipled by the apostle John, combating heresies, and writing letters to the churches. In his death, he provided Christians and unbelievers everywhere with an example of true faith in Christ.

“I appreciate how this movie, based on the true historical account of the life of Polycarp, challenges all Christians concerning what we might do in the face of persecution. Because Christianity is increasingly under attack in our secularized Western world, Polycarp is a ‘must watch’ for every Christian.”

—Ken Ham

Polycarp spent his life worshiping Christ, ministering to others, and preaching the Gospel. He was arrested by the Roman proconsul and interrogated in front of a crowd, but he refused to deny His God. Polycarp died a martyr, being burned at the stake with twelve other Christians. He rejoiced that, in his death, he was able to “share the cup of Christ.” Polycarp’s message of living for Christ no matter the consequences is a powerful and timely lesson for us today.

Polycarp counsels a young Christian named Germanicus.

“Polycarp issues a call that resonates with Joshua’s mandate to ‘choose you this day whom you will serve.’ This is a moving story of second-century persecution, reminiscent of the persecution many believers face today.”

—The Kendrick Brothers
