Sara and Chris Ekiss share their journey from a music career to ministry, exploring faith, marriage, and purpose.

This is a story about making your faith your own, moving beyond the foundation of family and discovering a personal, vibrant relationship with the Lord. It's also a story of learning to trust God's guidance, His timing, and His faithfulness as He leads us exactly where we're meant to be.
