The Entertainment Industry is littered with stories of Musicians and actors who started out, not on the streets, but in a community of faith. Their journey to fame more often than not, starts out in the pews of the Church Choir. But as the desire to be heard by a wider audience intensifies, most drift into more secular genres of music. Jessica Simpson epitomizes this storyline perfectly.
