In this soul-stirring episode of Grace Through Storms, host Jessica Webb welcomes athlete, coach, teacher, and woman of faith Alexandria Robinson, whose journey from the basketball court to a Christ-centered life will inspire anyone navigating uncertainty, identity shifts, or spiritual surrender.Alexandria’s story begins with a childhood love for sports — from soccer to basketball — and the community that uplifted her. After her parents’ divorce and a tough move to a new town, she was cut from her school team. But a local church league welcomed her. That moment, she says, was a divine turning point: “By the grace of God,” she found her passion for basketball — and unknowingly, a foundation of grace that would carry her through years of transformation.From captaining her varsity teams at Fair Lawn and Montclair High to earning full college offers after a tough position switch from small forward to shooting guard, Alexandria reflects on the power of mentorship, preparation, and obedience. But her real story begins after graduation.While fast-tracking her master’s in taxation at the University of New Haven, she landed a prestigious internship at Deloitte — a dream job for many. But deep down, something felt off. “It was too serious. I was still playful. Still in love with basketball.”She made a bold decision: to pursue a pro basketball career overseas, not for fame, but for purpose. Her first stop? Melilla, Spain, a territory off Morocco’s coast. There, she played the game she loved, learned Spanish, endured cultural isolation, and began hearing God’s whisper more clearly.Then, everything stopped. COVID-19 hit, and Alexandria returned to the U.S. with no job, no car, and no place of her own — her dream in ruins. Emotionally and financially drained, she hit rock bottom… and that’s when God moved.In one miraculous day, she was given both a car and a job interview. It was a divine lifeline. But more importantly, it was a surrender point. “I told God, if basketball isn’t for me, I surrender. I’ll walk whatever path You have for me.”That surrender became her catalyst.Shortly after her baptism in 2021, Alexandria’s inbox lit up with overseas offers. The next day, she was offered a coaching job at a gym where she only planned to train. Within a week, she was back in the game — as both player and coach — with God’s favor unfolding in every detail.This episode dives into the tensions of surrender, the beauty of obedience, and the power of divine timing. Alexandria shares:How she navigated position changes in basketball — and lifeWhy surrendering her relationship to God led to a godly marriageThe challenge of abstaining from sex in a committed relationship — and the blessings that followedHer battle with daily weed addiction — and how God delivered herLiving in a spiritual haze — and how faith brought clarityFacing a devastating Achilles tear — and knowing it was God’s call to move onTurning down 2.5x more money overseas — choosing obedience over opportunityHer work now in youth ministry, teaching, and FCA at a New Jersey middle schoolAlexandria’s story is one of redemption, clarity, and calling. Her faith didn’t just change her — it realigned her purpose. What began as a pursuit of scholarships and stats became a divine mission to uplift youth, speak truth, and model what it means to live surrendered and favored.Through raw honesty, heartfelt moments, and a powerful testimony, Alexandria reminds us: God doesn’t waste any part of our story — not the wins, not the losses, not the waiting. Everything is a setup for something greater.If you’ve ever struggled to let go, questioned your identity after a life change, or needed the courage to surrender your dreams, this episode is your reminder: God’s plan is always better.👉 Don’t forget to like, share, comment, and subscribe to Grace Through Storms for more stories of transformation, resilience, and divine restoration.
