Gwen Stefani has partnered with Hallow App to help bring others closer to God.
The there time Grammy Award-winning singer recently shared her faith story saying that she lived at home with her family until she was 26 years old. During that time, she still had her routine of going to church with her family well into her 20s. She says this all changed as her music career started growing.
"I fell away from my faith," said Stefani. "And then came a time in my life where I felt like I was losing everything. My emotional and mental stress from my situation quickly turned into physical pain, like a physical illness. Chronic pain that prevented me from doing daily ordinary things. And I was so scared."
She says she tried everything she could to find some sort of cure to help her with what she was going through, this led her back to prayer.
"Feeling so desperate, I got on my knees, I asked God: 'Please, please get me well. Please use my gift of music again. Please let me be the person I used to be.'"
She immediately felt something, and from then on, she returned to daily prayer; trusting that God had a purpose for her and knowing that she needed to serve God.
"A lot of amazing changes in my life have happened since then and my faith has carried me through it all."
Through this journey, Stefani has received a mixed reaction from fans,
"Gwen is gone. What a massive disappointment," said one fan.
"I miss the old Gwen," said another.
