From a Music Career to Ministry: A Couple's Story of Calling, Marriage and Purpose :: Sara & Chris Ekiss, Episode 378

Today, we’re excited to bring you a unique and powerful story from our Tupelo, Mississippi community. Sara and Chris Ekiss share their individual faith journeys, how the Lord brought them together, and the ways He deepened their faith early in their marriage.

When Chris sensed God calling him away from being the lead singer of a secular band and into ministry, their lives took an unexpected turn—one that required trust, surrender, and a deep reliance on God’s provision.

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.
