Summary

Today on the podcast, I’m sitting down with Alena Pitts Franklin: actress, author of the brand-new devotional God Is, and newlywed adventurer - yes, the kind of adventurer who hiked Mount Kilimanjaro with her husband! No kidding! At just 21, Alena is speaking to all of us asking, “Who am I?” and she flips the question by asking instead, “Who is God?” In her 60-day devotional, she walks through His character: helper, shepherd, good Father and how truly knowing Him changes how we see ourselves. Can’t wait for you to listen!
