July 2019 – Chip and Joanna Gaines, the beloved Christian husband and wife who star on the HGTV show Fixer Upper, were named among Time magazine’s “Top 100 Most Influential People of 2019.” The Gaineses became a household name after their popular TV series debuted in 2012.

Professional athlete and movie producer Tim Tebow, who helped them build an accessible home for a family with two wheelchair bound children, recommended the couple. “I saw firsthand the genuine passion they have for making a difference in peoples’ lives,” he said. “They are also grounded in a strong faith, which keeps them focused on what truly matters in life.”
