Filmmaker Rick Pamplin (“Burt Reynolds: The Last Interview”) joins The Clash to share one of the most incredible life stories you will ever hear. Beginning in a hospital bed where doctors told him he wouldn’t live to be 20, Rick details a journey fueled by a profound faith and a refusal to accept limitations. He recounts the pivotal moments of defiance—from burning his restrictive medical letters and flushing his prescriptions down the toilet to running away from military school to hitchhike to Hollywood. Pamplin shares his disillusionment with organized religion after a pastor dismissed his dreams, and how that experience forged a more personal, resilient faith. In a story full of unbelievable twists, he reveals how he accidentally became Sylvester Stallone’s neighbor just before Rocky exploded, worked with the entire Stallone family, and how a random encounter in a bathroom led him to create, write, and direct the iconic TV show GLOW (Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling). This is a powerful testimony of perseverance, divine appointments, and carving your own path when the world tells you it’s impossible.

You hear the phrase “angel of light” and assume it’s a good thing—a messenger sent directly from heaven. But the Bible tells a different, more chilling story. In this segment of our “Oh, Heavens” series, we expose one of the most clever deceptions in spiritual warfare. Drawing from 2 Corinthians and 1 John, we answer the question: What are angels of light? The answer will change how you view the spiritual realm, revealing that this term refers not to holy beings, but to Satan and his fallen angels in disguise. Learn why it is of the utmost importance to be aware and to test every spirit, rather than blindly accepting supernatural encounters.

When we take up our cross daily, love God fully, and love others faithfully, God weaves our struggles into stories that bring Him glory and bring us blessing. Today, we wrap up our challenging series “The Grind and the Glory” with a study that is appropriately named – Struggles to Stories. We have not sugar coated the truth, the Bible certainly doesn’t, but the reality is that if you are a follower of Jesus – He has called you to the grind. The only decision left is whether you are willing to answer that call and follow Him or not. Get ready, the race is on!
