Joanna Gaines has made a name for herself as a designer on the show “Fixer Upper” on HGTV. She’s also a remarkable mother and wife. But she’ll be the first to admit that it wasn’t always an easy path to success.

Joanna and her husband (and co star) Chip Gaines recently met with the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association to share their story about their faith.

“Our family has made a commitment to put Christ first,” Joanna Gained commented. “A lifestyle our parents modeled for us very well. They showed us how to keep our marriage and family centered around God. As for Fixer Upper, we have been surprised at the impact of our faith through the show. We haven’t been overtly evangelical, but the rich feedback we have received on family and love all source from our faith. Jesus said the world would know His disciples by their love for one another, and we’ve glimpsed this in practice and strive for it every day.”
