The keystone in both projects is the unmistakable connection to the beautiful historic community of Franklin, Tennessee. Both projects were filmed on location at some of Franklin’s most renowned locations and showcase the best of what this city has to offer both on a religious front and well as the nurturing community that has been a spotlight to others around the nation.
