The Road Before the Trail | Spiritual Passage Part One

Long before Rand Timmerman stood at the southern end of the Appalachian Trail, his life had already become a journey of survival, loss, resilience, and redemption. In Part One of this two-part documentary, Rand shares the road that led him to one of the greatest adventures of his life. Growing up in poverty, watching his father struggle after World War II, serving in Vietnam, battling alcoholism, rebuilding his faith, and discovering that healing often begins long before we recognize it. This is not simply a story about hiking. It is a story about the life that prepared one man for an impossible dream. Through intimate storytelling and thoughtful reflection, Change Happened, Then What? explores how our hardest seasons often become the foundation for the journeys that change us forever.
