Alexis catches up with an old friend Peyton Horton for a conversation about the winding road that brought her back to Jesus. Peyton opens up about a near fatal car accident in college, becoming a single mom in Atlanta, and the moment she felt God clearly tell her to move back to Warner Robins in the middle of an engagement that was not built the way it should have been. She talks honestly about the pruning process that followed, learning to read scripture for herself instead of just hearing about God secondhand, and the season where she finally started shedding things she used to hold onto. Peyton also shares a wild, Spirit led moment of praying for a total stranger at the gym, and what it taught her about being available to God in the smallest moments. This episode is a reminder that you never know who is watching your story, and that hope is always still on the table no matter how messy the middle looks.

What does God actually call you? This episode is Alexis's message from Born Two Praise, the live event celebrating two years of Praises in the Pod.
