Summary

What began as a childlike love for Jesus was tested when Alena Pitts Franklin's mom died suddenly when Alena was just 14 years old. Alena’s grief challenged and deepened her understanding of who God is, revealing what she truly believed about His character. Alena has written a devotional called “God Is,” designed for teen girls and young women to understand God’s character – infinite, omnipotent, ever-present, good, loving, and our safe place. Theology isn’t just academic, it’s practical, personal, and essential for teens walking through real life.  Scripture references: Isaiah 41:10 Check out Alena's book, God Is ― A Devotional for Teen Girls & Young Women: 60 Days of Learning Who God Is to Understand Who We Are: https://www.amazon.com/Devotional-Teen-Girls-Young-Women/dp/B0DT8KRZZK This Episode is Sponsored by: https://timtebow.com/tree-perry/ —  Get your copy of If the Tree Could Speak by Tim Tebow on Amazon today!
