He did not believe in God, angels, or anything spiritual. Then one night in 1962, an angel appeared in his bedroom and his life was changed forever.
Voyle Glover shares his Christian testimony of growing up without God, struggling with alcoholism, and encountering the supernatural presence of God. After seeing an angel and hearing God speak, Voyle surrendered his life to Christ and began a journey of faith that reshaped everything.
Voyle also explains how God later taught him to pray in a new way, not through begging, but by grounding prayer in Scripture. With a background in law, he learned to approach prayer like a courtroom case, building faith in God’s promises and learning how to “take your case to God.”
This conversation covers:• Angel encounters and spiritual warfare• Salvation and surrender to Christ• What it means to be sealed by God• Biblical prayer and building faith• How to pray for unsaved loved ones
A powerful Christian testimony about encountering God, trusting Scripture, and learning how to pray with confidence.Support Sips of Grace Podcast with a donation: venmo.com/SipsOfGracePodcast

In this powerful Christian testimony episode, Stan Lovins shares his true story of radical transformation, physical healing, and encountering the resurrection power of Jesus Christ.
Stan grew up in Indianapolis surrounded by pain, abuse, and darkness. Searching for identity and escape, he turned to sports and eventually played professional baseball. After a devastating car accident, Stan’s life and identity were shattered, leaving him broken, injured, and desperate for truth.
After crying out to God, asking if He was real and if truth existed, everything changed.
Just days later, Stan witnessed a woman raised from the dead. In that same moment, Stan experienced physical healing in his own body. This supernatural encounter marked the beginning of a transformed life rooted in faith in Jesus Christ, freedom from shame, and complete surrender to God.
In this episode of Sips of Grace, we talk about Christian healing testimonies, the power of prayer, forgiveness, freedom from trauma, and how Jesus still heals today. Stan shares how no past is too broken, no sin too great, and no life beyond redemption through Christ.
This testimony will encourage your faith and point you back to the truth of the Gospel.

From occult wizard to preaching the gospel. Brother Matthew’s story is one of the wildest journeys from darkness to light you’ll ever hear.
Raised in a Christian home, Matthew grew up knowing about God, Scripture, and church life. But he later discovered the hard way that believing in God is very different from truly believing on Christ. Drawn into martial arts, chi, and Eastern mysticism, he slowly slipped into New Age practices, white magic, and eventually full-blown black magic and spirit conjuring — all while living a double life and still showing up at church.
In this episode, Matthew shares:• How he went from Bible memory verses and Baptist church to occultism and wizardry• Why the idea of white magic vs. black magic is a dangerous deception• What it was like to conjure spirits, do divination, and live a secret double life• The terrifying night a familiar spirit tried to kill him and he cried out to Jesus• How the Lord radically saved him in a parking lot and led him to burn his occult items• The powerful, grace-filled reaction of his wife when he confessed everything• The difference between oppression and possession and why Christians need to learn spiritual warfare, prayer, and fasting• How God is now using his testimony to reach witches, Satanists, and other occultists for Christ

Former high-ranking Satanist and co-founder of the South African Satanic Church, Riaan Swiegelaar, shares his powerful testimony of how he was drawn into the New Age, occult, and Satanism – and how Jesus Christ personally appeared to him in a satanic temple and changed everything.

In this conversation, Riaan opens up about the deception he lived under, the realities of spiritual warfare, what truly happens inside the occult, and the overwhelming love of Christ that met him in the middle of a ritual chamber.
This is a story of redemption, deliverance, and the relentless pursuit of God.

What if many non-speaking people with autism have far more to say than we’ve ever imagined — and some of it gives us a glimpse into the spiritual world?
In this episode of Sips of Grace, Pastor and author Joe Infranco shares powerful stories from his book Decoding Cody about individuals who communicate through spelling — a form of augmented communication that’s opening new doors for understanding.
Joe explains how spelling works, how research has evolved, and why so many people using this method describe remarkably similar experiences: seeing angels, encountering Jesus, and visiting a place they call “the Hill.”
Together we explore angels, discernment, near-death parallels, and what these accounts might reveal about God’s mercy, love, and the unseen world around us.
