Sharing that their upcoming series will give fans a more "in-depth" look at their family, Jep revealed that it will be "faith-forward."
The first episodes, he said, show them talking to their Bible study group about "coming out here and kind of doing this whole project, and which was really cool because what most people don't know is like we didn't tell them."
"We were just meeting with our Bible group, and then, you know, we talked about kind of what was going on, so it's very authentic, which I thought was really cool," he continued.

He added that the two had "so many amazing people in our lives" who helped them navigate their early years as a couple, with his oldest brother Alan and his wife really helping them out.
Jep said it took them years, but eventually, he and Jessica got on the 'same team.'
Jep confessed, "When people ask me about marriage advice — it'll be 25 years in October — and I'm like, ‘Man, I would just say, don't give up.’ I mean, that's the main thing is don't give up."

"It's OK if you make a mistake. It's like, ‘Oh, I screwed up here, and you just forget and move on," he said. "But it takes time and wisdom to learn these things."
