Episode Summary:

What happens when the red carpet cannot cover a growing emptiness inside? Celebrity stylist and mom of three, Ali Levine, shares how the glitz, parties, and spiritual modalities could not heal the hole in her heart. From industry underbellies to radical surrender, this conversation calls believers to guard their homes, protect their children, and trade busy for the better portion at Jesus’ feet.

Key Takeaways

• The outside can look perfect while the inside is decaying without Jesus.
• The Hollywood and fashion machine normalizes compromise. Proximity shapes appetite.
• Small yeses to compromise blur lines over time. Guard people, places, and things.
• Parents are gatekeepers. Pray, anoint, and audit what enters your home.
• Busy is a tactic. Mary chose presence over performance. Choose the better portion.
  Repentance and surrender break legal rights and bring real peace.
• Ask the Lord if your current work is assigned, or just activity.
