Kelly, Marc, and Grace Fuchs embody the resilience of family and faith in God. They are part of a dynamic blended family of six, which also includes Bekah, Paul, and Jaina. Together, they have weathered many storms, and their testimonies are evidence of the enduring power of God’s grace. Kelly inspires women everywhere, Marc is a devoted husband and father who found redemption amid upheaval, and Grace shines as a beacon of courage and Godly transformation.
In 2016, Kelly and Marc’s paths intertwined, leading to marriage in 2017 and a union that reshaped their lives. However, before God brought them together, both Kelly and Marc had experienced failed marriages and emotional trauma. Marc’s journey was defined by the trials of a demanding career and a heart-wrenching divorce. He turned to God during his struggles, and his newfound faith placed him on a path of healing and unshakeable belief in Jesus Christ.
Kelly’s upbringing was marred by instability and sparked by family turmoil. She was blessed during this time with two daughters – Bekah and Grace. Kelly married after the birth of her daughters and was later divorced. She remarried, and the second marriage also ended in divorce.
For Grace, life’s early chapters were shaped by struggles with anxiety, depression, and ADHD, compounded by the complexities of sexual identity and belonging. When she confided in her parents in 6th grade that she believed she was gay, it sparked a mix of emotions within the family. Grounded in their faith, Kelly and Marc grappled with the conflict between their beliefs and her revelation. Despite their unease, they responded with love and understanding, though inwardly troubled.
Shortly after, Grace told her parents that she identified as non-binary. This disclosure left her parents bewildered, prompting them to seek clarification. When they asked Grace what being non-binary meant, she explained that she didn’t identify strictly as a girl or a boy. This news was particularly challenging for Kelly and Marc, as they grappled with the realization that their once-beloved daughter, who had previously enjoyed dresses and makeup, was questioning her own identity. The couple recognized that they had been consumed by the demands of daily life and were unaware of the moral struggles their children faced in school due to being misguided.
In 2021, a pivotal moment unfolded for Grace, resulting in a profound conversion. She accepted Christ as her Lord and Savior at a youth group meeting, and her life changed forever. Shedding layers of doubt and fear, Grace emerged as a beacon of hope. She was baptized in 2022 and is now off all her medications. With each milestone — from baptism to leadership roles within the youth group — Grace’s journey resonates as a testament to the boundless grace of God.
Marc and Kelly, once navigating life’s uncertainties, found renewed purpose in their daughter, Grace’s journey. As active members of their community and devoted parents to Grace, Bekah, Paul, and Jaina, the couple stands as pillars of support and notable advocates for change. Today, Paul is a youth leader, and Jaina serves on the worship team, embodying the family’s dedication to service and faith.
Their daughter, Bekah, continues to be inspired by her sister Grace’s steadfast spirit and love for Jesus Christ. Together, the family remains committed to uplifting and empowering one another, forging bonds strengthened by love, resilience, and unwavering faith in God’s plan.
