Speaking to NewsDay yesterday Manyowa said the talk show is meant to give a platform to gospel musicians and other leaders from different trades to interrogate gospel music and Christianity.

“The show is meant to give a platform to gospel musicians and other leaders from different industries to talk about gospel music and the impact it has on the lives of many,” she said.

“We also want to discuss more about Christianity and their faith and how gospel music then weaves into their lives, therefore, we want to bring visuals to the music.”
