Another American Idol performance, another opportunity to glorify God. 

Breanna Nix took to the stage on Sunday in Hawaii for American Idol's top 24 performances, using the stage as a place to lead worship.

Nix sang Lauren Daigle's "Still Rolling Stones," bringing the crowd to their feet and hands in worship. Even the artist in residence, Jelly Roll, had his hands in the air. 

"That was amazing," said Carrie Underwood. "We joined you in your beautiful moment. That beautiful, big voice just overtook everybody. So much power. So much heart behind it."

Luke Bryan followed up, saying that if anyone picked the right song, it was Breanna. 

"The confidence that you embody. It was like watching Adele in her zone," said Bryan. "You truly owned that moment, and didn't let off the gas from start to finish."

"You brought something into this whole competition," said Lionel Ritchie. "You have just been leading in terms of bringing more and more of your faith into being. I'm loving how you came out on stage, put your foot down and killed it."

Before her performance, Breanna went live on Facebook, thanking everyone who has supported her on this journey so far. 

"I can't even explain how much gratitude I have. God has just been so good to me. This family we've created, this nation we're building. It's all glory to God," said Breanna.

She says God deserves every ounce of praise.

"I'm just a vessel. I am just an employee for the business he is running. I want to win as many souls for the kingdom of God. That's really what my mission is. I want to win souls."

Although Breanna is only 25 years old, she says she has already experienced plenty in her life, and she hopes by sharing her story, she can reach even more people. 

"There have been things that have almost shattered me, things that have almost taken me completely out, and the devil has fought for my life since I've been a child," said Breanna. "For me to sit here and tell you to go vote for me on American Idol, that's the kinda God that we serve. He's a miracle worker, and he can take what's dead and he can bring it and give you life."

Nix says her hope is to make it into the top 20 and sing on Easter Sunday.
