In the late '90s, Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) was a billion-dollar industry marketed as a wholesome alternative to mainstream pop, but the genre demanded more than music. Artists were expected to live as evangelical role models: no swearing, no drinking, no sex before marriage; and they definitely couldn't be gay. If they didn't comply, they were pushed out and silenced. SAFE FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY follows three of CCM's biggest stars as they share their stories for the first time. Now they're using their voices in a different way: exposing what really happens when faith becomes a business.
