Ferrill tracks down Dennis Covington, author of Salvation on Sand Mountain, discovering that Mr. Covington suffers from a condition brought about by his own quest for faith, detailed in his 2014 autobiography, "Revelation." Ferrill pre-interviews Covington, then schedules a day for Abe to interview the author in Lubbock, Texas. 

Meanwhile, Abe beelines to the bedside of Billy Summerford, preacher of Old Rockhouse Holiness Church. Pastor Summerford is dying of cancer, and at Billy’s bedside, Abe re-encounters Greg Coots, Cody’s Grandfather. Abe tells Greg about an album he’s been searching for, a recording of Greg’s parents, the founders of Full Gospel Tabernacle in Jesus Name.
