[BONUS] CMA Country Christmas Artists Share Their Stories of Faith

The Christmas season is a beautiful time when the light of faith often breaks through in the most surprising and wonderful ways—and sometimes, right on prime-time television! We love watching artists who sing and speak from their hearts and who have shared their Jesus Calling journey with us, step onto the world’s biggest stages. December 2nd, that moment is happening on ABC with the annual CMA Country Christmas special. The show will also be available to stream on Hulu starting on December 3rd. We are thrilled that several friends of this show—talented artists who have graced our podcast and shared their stories with you—are part of this yearly event. We’ll revisit powerful moments of inspiration and deep connection from GRAMMY award winning artists Bebe Winans and Hillary Scott from Lady A, plus CMA Song of the year Award winner Jordan Davis, who will also be co-hosting this CMA Country Christmas special.

Interview Quotes:

“I don’t take music lightly. If I don’t believe in the song, I don’t sing the song. I really do believe this, that if it comes from the heart, it goes to the heart.” - BeBe Winans

“All of us are born with a purpose. It’s important for you to find out what that purpose is, to not give up. I’m not a mistake, I am a child of God, and there is a world called destiny attached to my name.” - BeBe Winans

“The more God does for me, the more I need to be closer to Him. Prayer is so important.” - BeBe Winans

“The low points, the valleys of my life, come when I get away from Christ and when I start living for me and I start thinking about the things that are going to make me happy.” - Jordan Davis

“God couldn’t care less how many number ones I have. That’s not what I got into music for—the accolades and number ones—I got into it because I loved it. If I leave it just to me, I will do it for all the wrong reasons. [I have to] put God first and realize how blessed I am to get to do this.” - Jordan Davis

“Lord, put somebody in my life today that could use a light, somebody that’s lonely, somebody that needs some guidance. Let one of my messages get through to them.” - Jordan Davis

“[My husband] Chris wakes up early and we’ll put worship music on and have it on low volume in our house because we believe that invites the Holy Spirit in, and we want to be mindful of His presence through us and through our home every day.” - Hillary Scott
