Breath of Life began broadcasting in 1974. It was the dream of pastor and recording artist Walter Arties to create a program that would appeal to African-Americans looking for hope and guidance. For 23 years, Pastor C. D. Brooks was the featured speaker. Since that time, others have served in the role of speaker/director with Debleaire Snell currently in that position. In 2024 Breath of Life celebrates 50 years of media ministry.
