In this episode of the #HolyAlivePodcast, award-winning Ugandan filmmaker Dons Enock shares his extraordinary journey of faith and resilience. At just 14 years old, his father asked him to leave home because the family couldn’t afford to care for him. With no one else to turn to, Dons went to his church, fell to his knees, and prayed a simple but life-altering prayer—inviting God to become the Father he needed.

We talk about:

➡️ The pivotal moment he entrusted his life to God as a Father
➡️ How faith took root through hardship and survival
➡️ The deeper mission behind his award-winning storytelling
➡️ Why film became a redemptive space to reflect truth, beauty, and hope

This conversation is a powerful reminder that God meets us in the lowest places—and shows us what He can create from them.

Is ambition inherently selfish—or can it be sacred?

In this thought-provoking episode of the #HolyAlivePodcast, we sit down with Quinn Rivera to explore the tension between drive and devotion. As a visionary leader and entrepreneur, Quinn shares his personal journey of wrestling with ambition: when it fueled his purpose, when it got in the way, and how he’s learned to surrender success to something greater.

We unpack questions like:

• Can ambition and humility coexist?
