ABOUT PATHWAY TO VICTORY

Established in 1996, Pathway to Victory serves as the broadcast ministry of Dr. Robert Jeffress and the First Baptist Church of Dallas, Texas.

Pathway to Victory stands for truth and exists to pierce the darkness with the light of God’s Word through the most effective media available, including television, radio, print, and digital media.

More than 900 radio stations in the United States broadcast the daily radio program, while Daystar and TBN, Christian television networks, air Pathway to Victory both in the United States and internationally.

Our mission is to provide practical application of God’s Word to everyday life through clear, Biblical teaching. Our goal is to lead people to become obedient and reproducing disciples of Jesus Christ, as He commanded in Matthew 28:18-20.

In 1971, John Lennon penned this opening line to his famous song, Imagine: “Imagine there’s no heaven.” It’s a wistful statement that wonders, from a secular perspective, how much simpler life could be without religion. Dr. Robert Jeffress takes that idea one step further and imagines if there were no Christmas.
