The documentary series is part of an in-depth look at the state of the Faith by the religious broadcast network.
Best known for his role on the military drama The Unit and as current pitchman in Allstate insurance commercials, Dennis Haysbert is now hosting a six-part documentary about Christianity on the Trinity Broadcasting Network. The series is called Inexplicable: How Christianity Spread to the Ends of the Earth and it debuts tonight.

In a statement on the channel's website, Haysbert expresses "delight" about his role as host, citing this as "one of the world's most important stories."
