Stories Season 5

SEASON Five

The Missions Widows Story

Valleys can be an excruciating place to be, but for people who spend their life chasing Jesus, they’re a place where unexplainable things can happen. This season shares the story of three women — Gloria Sloan-Castellanos, Erica Patrick and Staci Powers — who have experienced just that as they lost their husbands while serving on the missions field and kept going. That’s on this season of Stories, produced by TAB Media Group.

Stories is a deep dive into people’s lives, hosted by Grace Thornton. Each week, you’ll hear the next chapter in their story, in their own words. New episodes are released on Friday mornings.

Walking Forward

Though Erica Patrick and her husband, David, committed their lives to sharing Jesus with people in East Asia, Erica never would’ve guessed how big the sacrifices would be on that journey. She also wouldn’t have guessed how clearly she would see the hand of God at work.
