Transforming Rock Bottom into Faith-Fueled Success
What happens when the life you’ve built falls apart—and the only thing left to lean on is faith?
In this episode of Honest Christian Conversations, I sit down with Alex Sanfilippo to talk about hitting rock bottom, rediscovering faith, and finding purpose on the other side of loss. Alex shares how a season of anxiety, financial collapse, and misplaced identity ultimately became the turning point that reshaped his relationship with God.
This conversation isn’t just about success or entrepreneurship—it’s about surrender. We talk about what happens when identity is stripped away, how faith can be rebuilt in unexpected places, and what it looks like to move forward with humility, service, and trust in God’s direction.
This episode invites us to wrestle with honest questions:
Who are we when success disappears?
What does faith look like when it’s no longer inherited—but chosen?
And how can God use our lowest moments to redirect our lives with purpose?

Ana is the host of the Honest Christian Conversations podcast and a prodigal saved by God’s unending grace.
She grew up in a legalistic Christian home where asking questions often felt wrong. In her early twenties, overwhelmed by confusion and hurt, she walked away from her faith. Yet even then, God’s love never stopped pursuing her. At thirty years old—and after a painful second divorce—He brought her back to himself, and she has never looked back.
As Ana returned to Christ, she began rebuilding her faith from the ground up and asked the questions she once feared to ask. Along that journey, she discovered inconsistencies, misplaced teachings, and even lies woven into the Christianity she grew up with. Instead of destroying her faith, this only deepened it. Out of that discovery, she founded Honest Christian Conversations. Ana's heart is to help others navigate the same tension she once lived with: wanting to know the real Jesus while sorting through the noise of deceptive teachings, spiritual manipulation, and “wolves in sheep’s clothing.”
Everything she creates flows from gratitude for the God who rescued her, restored her, and continues to shape her into who He intended her to be.
