E231: Homeless To Millions: A Creator's ...

Lila Rose
About this episode

Ariel Fitz had it all until tragedy left her and her family homeless. Thrown into a new school where she didn’t speak the language, Ariel struggled to adjust and fell into depression and doubt. But God wasn’t done.


Through deep trials, Ariel’s faith was rebuilt and so was her life. When she felt called to leave a traditional career and start creating TikTok content and music, it was a leap of radical surrender. That leap turned into a viral ministry reaching millions.


In this episode, Ariel shares her powerful testimony, her unexpected rise on TikTok, and how faith fuels her music career. Her story is living proof that when God leads, anything is possible.
