Faith and Hope Despite Challenges

April 14, 2021 • Alex Boyé • Season 2 • Episode 7

In this week’s episode, Charly Burridge-Jones talks with singer and performer Alex Boyé about how music and faith have been a source of hope during times of trial.

At just 16 Alex was homeless and performing on the streets in order to make his way in the world. He had dreams and ambitions he could only dream of coming true. With vigilant hard work and hope for brighter days, Alex was able to achieve those dreams. Despite a challenging upbringing, he went on to serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, perform in a successful boy band, moves to Utah, marry the love of his life, and become a father to eight children. In this episode, Boyé shares the role music has played in his life as a source of hope, faith and inspiration. He reflects on how his faith has developed and grown through his trials.
