Beardmore explained, “We might talk about our vocation stories with a Disney medley or tell about our old boyfriends with a mashup of ’90s R&B songs.”
Glafke said that they have “used the natural silliness of our friendship to make the show a reflection of who we are. It’s all about faith, song, and humor.”
Glafke summed up their mission perfectly: “We see our faith as a beautiful reason to enjoy life and just want to spread that joy. We want people to enjoy a show that’s appropriate for the whole family and celebrates our Christian faith.”
