As Paths to Glory approaches its 50-episode milestone, we pause to look back—not just at the stories told, but at the faithfulness threaded through every one of them. The Sound of Thanksgiving is a special season-finale reflection, a quiet moment to breathe, remember, and give thanks for the journey God has taken us on.

We revisit the themes that have shaped Paths to Glory from the beginning: redemption that seemed impossible, restoration that came in unexpected ways, prodigals returning home, healings that defied explanation, and the steady, unmistakable hand of God guiding ordinary people through extraordinary moments.

This is not just a look back at episodes—it's a celebration of God’s goodness in every life, every testimony, and every miracle shared along the way. It’s a reminder that gratitude strengthens faith, softens the heart, and tunes the soul to hear God more clearly.

As we close this season and prepare our hearts for the next, may this episode inspire you to pause and listen for it—
the quiet echo, the gentle melody, the unmistakable sound… of thanksgiving.

In this special episode of Paths to Glory, we sit with a couple whose journey is marked by the unmistakable fingerprints of God. From childhood roots in faith to the years when life grew complicated and spiritual drift set in—every step of their story leads to one truth: God was quietly shaping their future long before they realized it.

What began with a single family member’s unexpected return to church became the spark of a restoration that swept through an entire household. Through heartbreaking trials, seasons of waiting, unexpected transitions, and the slow work of healing, they discovered that some of life’s greatest breakthroughs don’t come in a flash… they come in moments.

Moments of surrender.
Moments of forgiveness.
Moments of revelation.

In this episode, we explore the defining moments that shaped their faith—moments when God spoke, redirected, restored, and renewed. Their testimony is a reminder that when we look back with gratitude, we begin to see the pattern of grace woven through every chapter of life.

Defining Moments is a story of God’s faithfulness across generations, the power of obedience, and the peace that comes when we fully trust the One who leads.

In a small Tucson living room turned sanctuary, a broken prayer rose like Hannah’s long ago: “Lord, I can’t do this anymore.” Years of waiting, loss, and unanswered questions had worn her faith thin—but not out. And then one night, in the middle of her husband’s sermon, a word came out of nowhere: “This is your year. You’re going to have a baby.”

What followed was a journey of promise, persistence, and the unmistakable faithfulness of God. From the sound of a single heartbeat after years of silence, to the laughter of two miracle sons who now help their parents build a thriving church in Tucson—this is a story of endurance, obedience, and the quiet power of saying yes to God again and again.

This episode reminds us that miracles are often born in waiting rooms, living rooms, and altars soaked with tears—and that when God speaks a promise, no desert is too dry for it to bloom.

From sleeping under church altars in a tiny Montana congregation to launching a new work in Arizona from a park bench and a rented basement, this story traces what God can do with one simple answer: yes. After drifting through his teens, a life-altering encounter with the Holy Ghost in Wisconsin set a new direction that led to Phoenix—where a first service at Faith Temple erupted into a baptism by fire. What followed wasn’t instant glory but steady obedience: bus routes, sixteen years of weekly services inside a juvenile detention center, hospital visits that birthed a calling to nursing, and living-room Bible studies on the White Mountain reservation.

When the Lord opened a door to pioneer a church in Prescott Valley, the work began with nothing but prayer, door-knocking, and park services. A travel trailer became home, a basement became a sanctuary, and consistency became a congregation—complete with a small Christian school and new believers finding their footing. This episode is a portrait of faithfulness in slow motion: no shortcuts, no spotlight—just a willing vessel who kept saying yes until yes became a church.

At nineteen years old, he was strung out on heroin, lost, and looking for a way out. What he found was a miracle. The night he walked into Lifeline Outreach, an Apostolic men’s rehabilitation home, he expected pain and withdrawal—but instead, he found peace. God took the addiction from him completely, and within days, he was filled with the Holy Ghost and baptized in Jesus’ name. That moment changed everything.

From the barrios of Jalisco, Mexico, to the deserts of Arizona, his story is one of redemption, resilience, and faithfulness. He built a life devoted to God, his wife Yvonne, and their family—a husband, father, and grandfather whose gentle spirit and steadfast love touched everyone around him.

Even in his final days, as his body grew weak, his spirit was strong. On his last Sunday, surrounded by the presence of God, he began to speak in tongues again—worshipping the same God who had delivered him decades before.

This episode is a tribute to a man who never stopped believing, never stopped serving, and never stopped loving. His story is proof that the same mercy that saves us also keeps us—through every season, every storm, and every step home.

She grew up in California surrounded by chaos—drugs, drinking, and brokenness long before she ever reached her teenage years. By ten, she was smoking her mother’s marijuana; by high school, she was lost in the same darkness she had watched destroy others. But through it all, God kept placing light in her path—one quiet, consistent friend who never changed, never compromised, and never stopped inviting her to church.

When she finally walked through those church doors at nineteen, her life began to turn. It wasn’t instant, and it wasn’t easy. There were setbacks, battles, and moments of anger toward the very God who was rescuing her. But she never stopped coming. She kept showing up, kept praying, and kept believing that grace would hold her until she could stand on her own.

Forty years later, she can look back and see what God was doing all along—shaping her story into a message for others who are still fighting to stay.

Her testimony is simple, powerful, and unforgettable:

If you fall, if you stumble, if you struggle—just don’t quit.

Their faith began in the glow of a small mission school in Ethiopia—but it was proven in the fire of persecution.

After marriage, they faced more than hardship—they faced open hostility. The communist government branded believers as enemies of the state. Soldiers raided their home, confiscated their Bibles, and threw her into prison—her infant brought to her only to nurse before being taken away again. While she endured confinement, he preached in secret, turning teacups and quiet corners into pulpits of truth.

When false doctrine rose to divide the Apostolic movement, he stood firm. Labeled a rebel, hunted by those who once called him brother, he was spared only by the unseen hand of God. But in the fire of betrayal and fear, revival was already forming.

Missionaries arrived from America—men who came not to debate, but to serve. They washed the feet of Ethiopian believers, prayed in the rain, and watched God pour out His Spirit in villages once bound by fear.

Today, their testimony has become the foundation of over 150 thriving churches across Ethiopia. The same truth that cost them everything has now covered a nation in grace.

Long before they became pastors and leaders, they were simply two young students in Ethiopia—each searching for truth in a time of kings, communism, and spiritual confusion. He was raised under a royal dynasty that called itself “the power of the Trinity.” She grew up in a village where most children never saw a book. Both learned to read barefoot, both faced the rise of an atheist regime, and both found something greater than tradition—an encounter with the living God.

Their story begins with a witness from a younger brother, a single prayer that brought the Holy Ghost, and a baptism that would unite their destinies. From mission schools and government classrooms to secret church meetings and quiet songs of worship, this is the powerful beginning of two lives called by God—a calling that would one day demand everything.

This is Part 1 of The Price of the Promise — the story of how faith found its voice in a land determined to silence it.
