Featuring the voices of the actual band mates, this new show is filled with tongue-in-cheek humor about the everyday life of being a Christian in a celebrity band. Adults and kids of all ages will be laughing through each episode.

We just watched Episode 9, Band with a Brand.  We’ve been watching episodes in the evenings with our family.  It’s clean, funny, and a great way to end the evenings.  This episode talked about how they wanted to brand themselves as a group.  There were some corny “Dad Jokes” that I’m sure my kids will be reliving over the next few days.  The music is catchy, too!

Each episode is only about 15 minutes or less, so the perfect time to unwind.  Give it a look and check it out for yourself! We have enjoyed it!
