Summary

“The surrender to grace is the most crazy difficult faith decision that we will ever make.” 

Dan and Danielle Friess lived lives struggling with porn and lust, an eating disorder, pain, anxiety, depression, pride, drowning in shame and legalism and had their lives radically changed by a saving faith in Jesus. This shocking understanding of a true grace turned their life upside down. 

Dan says, “What I would want to say for anyone that’s listening that may have perspective on the Latter Day Saints, our journey isn’t what people think.”

Don’t miss this captivating story of a couple who courageously stepped out of the boat to follow Jesus in a full surrender to His free gift of grace.
