“We lead worship together for church,” Marika added, “and most recently got to perform on stage together at Rogers Arena in Vancouver for the Festival of Hope with Franklin Graham, opening for Michael W. Smith and Ellie Holcomb.” “We absolutely love doing this as a family and very often it is a conversation starter as we build relationships with other actors, directors, producers, crew, casting, and so on,” Stacy said. “It does keep us very busy at times, but we have learned over the years to work hard when we can and ‘be a family’ and enjoy the slower times while trusting God and not being anxious for the next project” The Siewerts firmly believe that their faith is the foundation of their work. “Sometimes people ask, ‘How does your faith fit into your business?’ but we believe our business fits into our faith,” Stacy explained. “Every great accomplishment and success, as well as overcoming the obstacles in the journey, we have come through because of the grace of God.” “Ultimately, God guides, leads and opens the doors no one else can shut, and we just keep believing in His divine favor, grace, and love that we live in, whether we are on set filming, on the radio, performing live, or just being a family in our community. Our hope is that people all around us would be inspired to love big, dream big, and live the life they were made for.” Stacy says that his time at CHS was an important part of his life and a formative time of solidifying his faith. “I consider it to be the foundation for my spiritual growth as I was walking into a season where my faith choices would really start to be mine and mine alone to make,” he said. Stacy went on to say that CHS prepared him and his family to live a life of ministry. “Myself and then the family has been involved in some kind of ministry or church since. Everyday looks different, and I think it’s exciting.” 8 The Siewert family, from left to right: Jaedon, Marika, Zoey, Stacy, and Zac.
