In a time where the church is facing its greatest challenges, Chonda takes a journey into the hearts of the faithful as she engages some of the boldest believers in America to proclaim the Gospel is true. Newsboys frontman, Michael Tait, Mike Huckabee, Danny Gokey, the Benham Brothers, and others tell their stories of speaking truth to our culture. She travels around the world in search of people who took a stand for Christ… no matter the cost! Only Chonda can commuicate deep and meaningful truth and make you laugt at the same time. Chonda is unchained, unrestrained, and UNASHAMED!
