Finding Her Voice
for Christmas
An uplifting holiday drama about legacy, calling, family truth, and the courage to use the gift God gave you.
Joy Jones has inherited more than a love of music — she has inherited a calling. But when her parents resist her desire to pursue that gift, Joy begins asking questions that lead her toward a long-buried family secret.
What she uncovers could reshape her parents, her family, and her church — for better or for worse.
Will Joy find the courage to use the voice she's been given — and the wisdom to know what to do with the truth she finds?

Original compositions and powerful vocal performances, crafted by composer and music producer DreLovesGod, create a score that moves audiences from the first note to the final frame.

What we carry in silence, and what finally happens when it comes to light.
Generational Legacy
How the faith, music, and choices of those before us shape everything we are.
Forgiveness and Redemption
What grace requires when truth finally comes to light — and what it costs, and gives, to choose forgiveness.
Rediscovering Your Voice
Who you are when everything you thought defined you has changed.
Restoration and Hope
