“Mike and Carrie: God & Country,”a new exclusive digital short film series from I Am Second, provides an up-close and unfiltered glimpse into the life, relationship and faith of retired NHL player Mike Fisher and his wife Carrie Underwood, seven-time GRAMMY® Award winner.
In the four-part digital series releasing on iamsecond.com via weekly episodes, this powerhouse couple provides insight into how they continually sustain their marriage, despite sometimes differing views and personal loss, and find purpose beyond the professional accomplishments by which the world defines them.
And as Today points out, the couple had a serious struggle with God in a series of miscarriages. "I just had an honest conversation with God,” Underwood recalled through tears. “And I told him how I felt. I was hurt. I was a little angry and, of course, you feel guilty for being mad at your creator. And I told him I needed something. We needed to have a baby or not ever because I couldn't keep going down that road anymore."
Fisher is no stranger to I Am Second. He was featured in the non-profit’s White Chair short film series in 2014 in which he shared about his personal and professional struggles early in his career before a return to his faith.
In “Mike and Carrie: God & Country,” Fisher is joined by Underwood in a new interview, in which the couple speaks frankly about their personal journeys and provide hope and inspiration to anyone seeking or needing encouragement.
“Since first filming with I Am Second six years ago, I have seen God continue to grow my faith as Carrie and I have together walked through the natural joys and struggles of life,” Mike said. “This new series is not only a continuation of the 2014 White Chair film, but hopefully a reminder to individuals of God’s faithfulness in all situations.”
While Fisher and Underwood have each publicly spoken about their personal paths in the past, the new I Am Second series provides a specific, intimate look into their relationship, parenting journey and faith.
“We wanted to do this to share some of our personal journey in hopes that viewers will be inspired by it, and maybe even take one more step in pursuing a relationship with God,” said Underwood.
