Josh & Nicole Kingsbury
Josh and Nicole lost their daughter, Amber, to suicide. Although they are walking with a pain most cannot comprehend, they have also maintained an inspiring and steady faith through it all. When we had our fire and everything happened with my husband, I often thought of Josh and Nicole — I reminded myself of the faith they were clinging to in spite of something so much more grievous than what I was enduring — and I was inspired to keep pushing through my circumstances.
Chris & Kelsey Guerra
Our story began at Biola University, where we met as students pursuing musical theatre. What started as a shared passion for storytelling quickly became something deeper—a friendship rooted in creativity, faith, and a desire to use our gifts for something meaningful.Early on, we had the opportunity to perform in our first theatrical production together. That experience wasn’t just about the stage—it revealed how naturally we worked side by side, how we encouraged each other, and how God was already weaving our lives together through our calling.After graduating, we took a leap of faith and moved to New York City to pursue Broadway. That season stretched us—artistically, spiritually, and financially. It taught us resilience and dependence on God. It also taught us that success wasn’t just about individual achievement, but about who we were becoming together.Eventually, we transitioned to Los Angeles, where our journey shifted from performing in other people’s stories to creating our own. We co-founded thisishardtoread productions, an award-winning production company focused on telling stories with heart. Through writing, producing, and acting together, we discovered that our marriage wasn’t separate from our work—it was central to it. God had uniquely wired us as partners not just in life, but in purpose.During that time, we created projects like our award-winning film Re-Opening, learning how to collaborate under pressure, navigate creative differences, and choose unity over ego again and again.As our family grew, so did our understanding of what truly matters. Raising our two children has been one of our greatest callings—one that continually reminds us that our first ministry is our home.That calling ultimately led us to Franklin, where we felt God redirecting our focus toward community and impact. There, we co-founded Oddity Improv, a clean comedy theater and training center designed to bring joy, connection, and confidence to others. And we founded Christian Creatives Collective - an online platform where we are able to pour into up-and-coming Christians who work as creatives in the film and television industry who need support and mentoring. Now we are about to release our second feature film, a 90s RomCom we wrote together and star in, together.Looking back, every chapter—college, New York, Los Angeles, and now Tennessee—was part of God’s design. Each step required faith. Each transition required surrender. And each season strengthened our marriage.Our testimony is not that everything has been easy—it’s that God has been faithful.He brought us together through a shared calling.He sustained us through uncertainty.He aligned our passions with His purpose.And today, we continue to walk side by side—creating, parenting, and building—committed to honoring Him in both our marriage and our work.We believe our relationship is a reflection of partnership by design:two individuals, fully committed to each other, fully submitted to God, and fully aligned in purpose.
