Ed Wanderer grew up in a Washington, D.C. suburb in a loving family and life overflowing with books, sports and exploring the US and Europe with his parents and grandparents. Marrying the love of his life, they went on to adopt three beautiful children continuing their own legacy of loving well. 


Ed has battled depression and anxiety since his second year of college until now—fortunately, not continuously. He and his doctor have used counseling and medicine to keep anxiety at bay, adjusting as needed. But as the bleakness of the Covid-19 pandemic grew, so did Ed’s depression and anxiety. Lean into his powerful story of hope.

For Kira Fontana, creating music has always been spiritual. After studying music composition on the East Coast, Kira moved to Los Angeles to further her music career and ended up one of the top vocal coaches in the city. Discouraged with what she saw in the music industry and finding no real place for her music, she eventually stopped writing and singing. But by the end of 2017, something changed. Kira had been “spiritual, but not religious” for many years, but several members of her immediate family became born-again Christians. Join us as we listen in to her story and celebrate her path to freedom.
