George, now an adult, remains a Christian in the midst of the Roman world. Surrounded by paganism and a growing anti-Christian sentiment, he remains courageous and dedicated to his faith. He argues in defense of his faith against the highest authority in his world and stands up even when other Christians around him remain silent.

Intense action sequences involving the Dragon include raised voices. Diocletian argues for atheism and that religion is only politically important.

Young George’s family presents an example of courage and love under pressure from a hostile culture.

Gerontius also exemplifies cultivating friendship with someone who may not share your values.

Includes aggressive language from a pagan character because of a Christian’s belief. George’s Father’s martyrdom is implied and George grieves his lost.

Isaac Jogues is able to turn each moment of his life towards Christ. He shares multiple conversations with Native and European characters who do not believe, and turns their thoughts toward God. Saint John Brebeuf also gives a description of how a person can belong fully to Christ without betraying their heritage.

A character is implied to be drunk in the opening of the episode and makes racist remarks against the Native peoples. There are also moments of suspense and threats of violence.
