Reality Star Savannah Chrisley Holds on to Faith as Parents Are Behind Bars

The television personality is finding the strength to go through daily life despite her parent's imprisonment by keeping the faith.

Savannah Chrisley took to Instagram Sunday to share what keeps her going amid the tough season her family is having with parents Todd and Julie Chrisley currently behind bars for fraud charges.

The 25-year-old "Chrisley Knows Best" star posted a photo of a Bible verse handwritten on a personalized Team Christley memo card and placed on her refrigerator. She wrote the Bible verse Isaiah 60:22, which states, "When the time is right, I, the Lord, will make it happen," and added the comforting words, "Rest, God is in control."

It was a powerful message of God's faithfulness and perfect timing that became much more personal and special with the reality star's caption, where she declared her hope in Jesus.

She further shared that she has never felt the presence of Jesus as much as she had on that day and that she cannot wait to tell her testimonies. She then added the hashtag "fightthegoodfight," which comes from another famous Bible verse - 1 Timothy 6:12.

More of God's word

The reality star also shared another photo showing eight more Bible verses handwritten on more "Team Chrisley" memo cards placed all over the refrigerator, with her hand holding a cup of coffee.

One verse was from Deuteronomy 31:6, which reminded believers to never be frightened or terrified, but instead, be "strong and courageous" as God is always there.

There was also John 14:27, which highlighted God's gift of peace to those who believe; Hebrews 13:5-6, another verse that promised God fights for His people; Ephesians 6:11-18, which talked about being strong in the Lord; and Psalms 23 that emphasized the importance of trusting God.

All of these seem to keep her and the family together as they face the challenges brought about by their parent's imprisonment.

She questioned God at one point

Savannah's parents were imprisoned after they were found guilty of bank fraud and tax evasion last June 2022 and were sentenced in November. Her 53-year-old father will serve in a Florida prison for 12 years, while her 50-year-old mom will be in a Kentucky prison for seven years. After they finish their respective sentences, they will be required to complete probation for 16 more months, People reported.

Before their first day in prison, Savannah guested her mom on her Unlocked podcast, where she admitted that their current family circumstance is testing her faith. She came to a "difficult spot" of questioning God why her prayers have not been answered and why nothing is happening according to what she is asking from Him.

She then realized that God has a bigger plan for them and that things they want to happen may not be happening because the circumstance might be helping them or the possible outcome.
