HGTV host Page Turner opens up about her journey in finding Jesus and having a relationship with God, which she considers the most important in her life.
HGTV Host Page Turner
Page Turner moved from Los Angeles to Nashville twenty years ago with her three daughters. Then in 2018, she landed an opportunity on the show “Flip or Flop Nashville,” where she was a co-host and gained popularity. And today, the host is debuting her solo “Fix My Flip,” a show she created to help struggling house-flippers in her hometown in California.

In an interview with Faithwire, the HGTV host opened up about how Jesus came into her life.
Page didn’t grow up in a Christian home. In fact, her family was agnostic. Her mom merely believed in “a higher power” and tried Hinduism yet never found the one true God.
Moreover, Page’s mom sent her to an all-girls Catholic high school to be disciplined. That’s when she first learned about God, the Bible, and Jesus. However, religion kept her from having an authentic relationship with God.
“It took me many years to find that relationship with the Lord outside of religion and the confines of religion,” the TV personality said. “Which I sort of got jarred in and stuck in.”
Relationship With God
Page admits it took her many years to finally understand the heart of God deeper because she didn’t grow up in a Christian home. But today, she attests her relationship with Jesus is “growing and getting stronger.”

Further, the HGTV host shared how her show teaches her many things about who God is. Page explained how some people decline her help—money, and expertise.
“You know, you can call on God for help, He sends help. And then that pride and ego comes in,” she said. “And it’s like, ‘I just gave you what to do and you’re not gonna believe me. Either by doubt or fear or whatever it is that is keeping you from accepting the help?'”
With that said, Page is encouraging believers to seek God first and be humble before Him in prayer.
“That’s when He hears our call and our cries,” the host said. “And it’s like, ‘OK, when are you going to get tired of going through what you’re going through?’ That’s the ultimate humility, you know, saying, ‘OK, I’m done with this because it’s not working my way.'”
As a result of such realization, Page began to spend more time in prayer every day. She calls it an “all-day conversation that I have externally and internally with God.”
“Every day, I need to have some form of communication with God,” she stressed. “Especially when I feel like, ‘OK, I’m off track a little bit. It’s real easy to praise God when everything is going good, but what I’ve learned is if you praise Him every day while everything is going good and you seek Him every day while everything is going good, when that challenging time comes, you won’t feel so disconnected from Him — because He’s never disconnected from us.”
“You have to keep that connection daily so that, when dips happen, it’s like, ‘OK, let me just go talk to God. I’ll be right back.'”
