Jelly Roll’s Tearful Gospel Moment on Netflix

Jelly Roll totally lost it on Netflix’s Star Search after Bear Bailey’s emotional performance of “Hard Fought Hallelujah.” Bear opened up about his battle with addiction and how Jesus redeemed him, and Jelly Roll just couldn’t hold back the tears. Who would’ve thought we’d see a country star preaching the Gospel on a talent show? Seriously, this is the kind of raw, real TV moment you don’t want to miss. Is America having a faith revival or what? #Religion #JellyRoll #StarSearch

Chicago’s South Side church brings warmth in the cold

Freezing temps didn’t stop Pastor Malcolm Griffith and his team from showing up at 111th and State in Roseland, handing out brand new coats, gloves, and shoes right from their RV. Even when frostbite is a real risk, they’re out there making sure neighbors have what they need to get through the night. For some, it’s more than just supplies—it’s a chance to connect, get a prayer, or ask for help. This kind of community care is what makes Chicago strong, no matter how cold it gets. How are you helping neighbors during this extreme cold? #Religion #ChicagoWeather #CommunityCare

Big changes at Mepkin Abbey: New abbot steps in

Mepkin Abbey near Moncks Corner just welcomed Dom Gerard Jonas Palmares as its new abbot, marking a fresh chapter for this close-knit community of monks. With only 13 monks remaining—down from 30 two decades ago—the Abbey has been working hard to strengthen its sense of community and prepare for the future. Outgoing abbot Father Joseph Tedesco leaves behind a legacy of new spaces like the Meditation Garden and will now lead the retreat center. What do you think this new leadership could mean for the Abbey’s role in the Lowcountry? #Religion #MepkinAbbey #MoncksCorner

Inside the faith journeys of famous faces

Turns out, some of the most recognizable names in America—like Denzel Washington, Jane Goodall, and Amy Grant—lean on faith to get through life’s toughest moments. Birmingham’s own Rev. Russell Levenson Jr. just released a book sharing personal stories from 12 well-known figures, revealing how their beliefs shape their daily lives. From Nikki Haley reciting prayers on staircases to Jim Nantz praying during the national anthem, these glimpses go beyond the headlines. It’s eye-opening to see how faith quietly guides people we usually see only on TV or in the news. What do you think—does knowing this change how you see them? #Religion #FaithStories #FamousFaces

TPUSA Faith Tour Sparks Major Backlash

Turning Point USA Faith’s big Make Heaven Crowded Tour just kicked off in LA, but the buzz isn’t all positive. Erika Kirk’s first big move as leader is already under fire for featuring Pastor Greg Laurie, who’s facing lawsuits over alleged child abuse cover-ups at his church. Some say Laurie shouldn’t be on stage while this is unresolved, but organizers insist the show—and the mission—must go on. Next stop: San Diego. Will the controversy follow? #Religion #TPUSAFaith #GregLaurie
