In this finale, Diagnosis to Destiny, Angel opens up about her health battle, how God turned pain into purpose, and why your mindset, faith, and nutrition all matter when it comes to healing. We’re talking body recomposition, protein truths, perimenopause struggles, and what it really means to steward your body as a temple, without toxic diet culture.

During more than two decades of waiting for justice, Angel Faulk faced a new and unexpected battle — this time with her health. A sudden loss of hearing led to a devastating diagnosis and the start of a fight that would test her strength, identity, and faith in ways she never imagined.

In Part 2 of her story, Angel opens up about the reality of facing a life-threatening brain tumor, the challenges of recovery, and the emotional weight of losing her smile. Yet through every obstacle, she discovered resilience, community, and the unshakable presence of God walking with her. This is more than just a story about survival. It’s a testimony of courage, faith, and the determination to keep moving forward — even when the road ahead looks impossible.

Whether you’ve faced your own health battle or know someone walking through one now, Angel’s journey will leave you encouraged to hold on to hope and never give up.

Families trapped in modern-day slavery in Pakistan’s brickyards are finding freedom through Victorious Living International's Humanitarian Aid efforts. Bishop Ed Akers shares powerful stories of rescue, restoration, and raising up pastors worldwide.

In this conversation, we dive into:

• • How VLI rescues families from multi-generational debt bondage in Pakistan’s brickyards—and why $2,250 = freedom.

  • What life looks like inside the brickyards, where even 3-year-old children make bricks in 100+ degree heat.

  • Real rescue stories: a widow with 3 children freed from abuse, and a young mother praying her kids would never grow up in the brickyards.

  • VKids program: child sponsorship transforming lives in the Philippines and Pakistan—funding education, hygiene, backpacks, and a vision for a $50K orphanage.

  • Transformations: Milky (from sponsored child → teacher) and Hannah Lynn (cleft palate surgeries → now following Jesus).

  • VLI’s pastor mentorship and church planting: 20 lessons, 129 leaders trained, 60+ ordained—equipping pastors to lead Spirit-filled churches ready for revival.

This is the heart of missions—faith + action + humanitarian aid + compassion = bringing freedom, opportunity, and hope.
