We then pay closer attention to spirituality, before Tray gives us a heartwarming account of his journey of faith and hope during difficult times at work. Amy closes the conversation off with a captivating testimony of how her faith and hope manifested in a vision that led her to mentor a distraught young woman, Kayleigh. We get to see how Amy and Tray, through their faith, inspired Kayleigh to once again believe, and hope. Join us for an emotional journey that teaches us the undeniable value of hope!
