About this Episode

Alena (Pitts) Franklin is in-studio with Sadie to talk all about her brand-new devotional, what married life is really like one year in, and why she’s so passionate about cheering people on in their walk with God and learning who He is. Alena also opens up about losing her mom suddenly at a young age and the long journey of learning to trust God even when life feels unfair and heavy. She shares what it was like navigating fame so early after starring in War Room and what she hopes others can take from her story of faith, loss, and hope. Sadie can’t get enough of Alena’s joy and the fun that radiates from her socials, and the two bond over their shared calling to be a big sister to so many girls running after Jesus.
