On January 11–12, 2026, I will be joined by astronaut Captain Barry Wilmore at the Truth Traveler VR and movie attraction in Branson, Missouri, for two free special events!

On January 11, 2026, from 6:00–9:30 p.m., discover how to think more biblically and apply the timeless truths of Genesis with teaching and encouragement from Answers in Genesis at the Launching Truth event. You must register for this free event at AnswersOutreach.com/launchingtruth.

Then, on January 12, from 9:00–10:30 a.m., come for our Pastor Preview. Lead pastors, associates, youth pastors, and other church leaders are welcome to come and bring their wives. This event is also free, but please register soon so we can plan for your visit.

There will also be a meet and greet with me and Barry, open to the general public, starting at 10 a.m. on January 12. More information can be found at AnswersOutreach.com/branson26.

Astronaut Encounter 2025

Now, as many of you will recall, Captain Wilmore and his crewmate, Captain Suni Williams, launched aboard the Boeing Starliner spacecraft on June 5, 2024, for its first crewed flight (to the ISS), but the capsule’s thrusters malfunctioned during the process. NASA later determined it was not safe to return the two astronauts aboard Starliner. What was meant to be an eight-day mission turned into nine long months in space. Captain Wilmore and Captain Williams finally returned to earth aboard the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft on March 12, 2025.

Barry has been an ardent and unwavering follower of Christ in an agency that is almost completely atheistic in their worldview.

Captain Wilmore’s illustrious career has spanned 25 years, and Barry has been an ardent and unwavering follower of Christ in an agency (NASA) that is almost completely atheistic in their worldview. He will join me at Truth Traveler on January 11 and 12 in the now totally refurbished iconic Andy Williams Moon River Theatre on the “strip” in Branson, MO.

Truth Traveler features a VR ride that is a “time-traveling” adventure for the whole family—taking you through pivotal moments of biblical history, culminating in Christ’s birth, death, resurrection, and ascension—and then offers an immersive movie experience.

Those who purchase tickets for the VR experience will embark on a thrilling and inspiring Bible-themed journey, complete with motion benches, haptics, and VR goggles for a full sensory experience. Afterward, guests can continue into a 1200-seat theater that will feature a tailored video production (currently showing is Fear Not), scheduled to play throughout the day. Order your tickets for the VR experience early, as seats will likely fill up quickly due to the January 11 Launching Truth event. Use code KH20 to receive 20% off adult and teen admission.

Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,
Ken
