When Victor Milano was just five years old, a Sunday school bus ministry changed the trajectory of his entire family. That simple knock on the door began a spiritual journey spanning decades—from childhood faith to teenage questioning, through marriage, divorce, and years of backsliding, before ultimately finding redemption and miraculous healing.

Victor shares with raw honesty how his early years in Pentecostal churches provided a strong spiritual foundation, yet couldn't prevent the inevitable questions and temptations of adolescence. Despite being active in youth group and church leadership, internal struggles and a lack of transparent mentorship eventually led to a painful divorce that severed his church connections. For years afterward, Victor lived what he candidly calls "just living in sin," until concern for his sons' spiritual future prompted a return to faith.

The most powerful moments in this episode come when Victor reveals the deep healing work God performed in his life. Through tearful prayer, God revealed childhood trauma Victor had suppressed for decades—memories that explained the sexual struggles that had plagued him throughout adulthood. Even more remarkably, Victor shares the medically documented miracle of his blood disorder healing. After years of transfusions and chronically dangerous blood levels, his hemoglobin inexplicably jumped from 7 to 12 overnight without medical intervention, leaving doctors stunned.

This testimony brilliantly illustrates how God's redemptive work addresses both spiritual and physical brokenness. Victor's journey demonstrates that no matter how far we wander or how deep our wounds, complete restoration is possible. His powerful message to fellow backsliders resonates with hope: "You're worthy. God will accept exactly who you are... His precious blood was enough and His grace is sufficient." If you've walked away from faith or know someone who has, this episode offers compelling evidence that it's never too late to come home.

Before her son ever got involved with drugs and the occult, Jessica (Jessie) Mayfield, had her own supernatural miraculous experience with Jesus that forever changed her life! She is a living miracle of the healing power that comes by the name of Jesus.

Jessie is the momma to Rev. Ethan Logsdon. Ethan was featured in Episode 10. If you haven't listed to his testimony yet, you will definitely want to!

As a mom, she watched as her sweet, lovable child, became increasingly angry, as he begin to hit age 8. By the time he was 13, he was using drugs and that quickly led him to making a covenant with the devil and overdosing at age 18.

Jessie shares her heart as a momma, and the fight she fought, both spiritually and naturally to see her son delivered, redeemed, and preaching the gospel of Jesus.

Dana's story is one that many go through. When outward appearance is judged harshly.  In this episode we discuss the pitfalls of judgment, misconception and the effects they have on one's heart, and one's self.

It is a good reminder to let God do the saving and changing.
