Feeling a strong call from God, Sabrina and Mike decided to give up their secular music careers to focus on their gospel music. They are currently recording a gospel album and have released singles—"I'll Fly Away" and "Somebody Bigger." Excitingly, they have also started a gospel choir that will back the duo in future performances, adding a rich and powerful dimension to their shows.

Despite health challenges, including her ongoing battle with ovarian cancer, Sabrina's faith has been her guiding light. Her relationship with the Lord has transformed her life, filling her with peace, joy, and an unshakeable spirit.

Sabrina's voice, often compared to Anne Murray and k.d. lang, and Mike's lyrical guitar playing, influenced by legends like Carlos Santana, have brought joy to audiences worldwide. Their shows are a testament to their musical prowess and the deep bond they share with their fans.

Sabrina is always eager to share her testimony anytime she is asked, spreading hope and inspiration to all who hear her.
