    A Willing Yes

    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.

    Kept by His Mercy

    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.

    Just Don't Quit

    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. If you’re enjoying Paths to Glory, be sure to check out our two other podcasts!

    The Price of the Promise, Part 2: Kept By the Fire

    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.

    The Price of the Promise, Part 1: Called by God

    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. If you’re enjoying Paths to Glory, be sure to check out our two other podcasts!

    Next Door to Truth, Led by Grace

    He grew up in Yuma, Arizona—right next door to an Apostolic church. He knew the families, saw the children playing, but never stepped inside. Life took him a different way: a childhood marked by loss, a Navy career that carried him across the country, and years of drifting with friends and nightlife. Yet even in those wandering years, God’s hand was guiding him. One day, after praying a simple prayer—“Lord, if this is the truth, show me”—an unexpected visitor arrived: his cousin, newly converted, sent by God to confirm everything he had asked. It was no coincidence. It was the answer. In this moving testimony, you’ll hear how God used a backslidden friend, a faithful mother, and a praying cousin to lead him from Catholic tradition into Apostolic truth. You’ll also discover how that decision shaped his marriage, his children, his career, and his walk with God for more than three decades. This is the story of a man who lived next door to truth, until grace led him in. If you’re enjoying Paths to Glory, be sure to check out our two other podcasts!

In this episode of Paths to Glory, hear the powerful story of a man who walked away from alcohol, laid down his pride, and found more than he ever imagined.
