She told CBN&#8217;s Faithwire why she&#8217;s passionate about the home renovations documented on &#8220;Fix My Flip,&#8221; her HGTV show now in its second season, &#8220;It speaks to where we can find our lives sometimes. I&#8217;ve been in a stuck place before; I just needed a helping hand, just somebody to show me the way, just a bridge to get across.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She added, &#8220;I&#8217;d dug holes for myself and just needed help. That&#8217;s what surrender is.&#8221; Turner, a Christian, is a professional home renovator and real estate broker. In her show, the design expert comes alongside people halfway through renovations who are stuck and unable to finish the jobs for many reasons.<\/p>\n<p>Turner grew up in Southern California with an agnostic mother who embraced the New Age thinking of the 1960s, but it wasn&#8217;t until she was 19 years old that a close friend invited her to church. She recalled, &#8220;I went Friday night three nights in a row and, that third Friday night, I gave my life to the Lord. I was still unclear, not sure what that meant, but I knew that I had peace that I felt in that little, old, white-steeple church on the corner of La Brea and Adams, out here in Los Angeles, and I never turned back after I had that experience with God. I remember it so clearly.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0rZMqWY0pIM\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Knowing her roots, Turner now wears her faith on her sleeve. In the first episode of season two of &#8220;Fix My Flip,&#8221; Turner worked with a father-daughter duo, Allison and Juan, who were struggling. Feeling overwhelmed, Allison was angry and took her frustration out on Turner. She recalled, &#8220;When I first got there, she was hard to deal with. When we were done with a scene, I took her outside and said, &#8216;Can I talk to you? I know we just met, like, yesterday.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Turner continued, &#8220;And cameras are all around, and that&#8217;s already intimidating enough. And I said, &#8216;What else is going on? Because you are really upset, and it couldn&#8217;t just be toward me because you invited me here.&#8217;\u201d &#8220;She broke down and cried,&#8221; the HGTV host continued, &#8220;and we prayed right there on the sidewalk, in front of all the people with their beliefs. We prayed right there and, after we prayed, I said, &#8216;Now, get it together so you don&#8217;t look crazy on national TV anymore, and let&#8217;s go back in.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Turner said it was apparent Allison struggled with pent-up issues and finally reached a breakthrough \u201cbecause of prayer and because she was willing to yield to trust the Holy Spirit was in me.\u201d She realized her show is a \u201cministry\u201d opportunity on and off-camera.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy faith is what\u2019s kept me grounded,\u201d Turner added, \u201cwith my blinders on and my eyes toward Christ at all times.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Home renovations are only a doorway to more meaningful restoration for Page Turner.
