From the moment that Ryan Anzo stepped on stage for a Christmas recital in elementary school, he was hooked on music and is now using his talent to bring glory to God. 

"I did everything I could do from music theatre to choir and then from that I started to branch into doing solo stuff and even joining a boy band," Anzo said.

"And then from there, when I got saved, I just wanted to make music for God and now I think God has opened the doors for me and I've been growing in my relationship with Him. It's been a blessing, honestly."

A Christian author and dad to 10 children is offering funny and heartwarming insights to raising children in his newest book. 

"This is my brand new book called Yes Dear, I'm Watching Them," says author Jason Weening. "It's a joke for many dads who've probably said that exact phrase, as the kids are hammering nails into their fingers, or falling out of trees, or building bike ramps over the garage." 

Weening lives in Estevan, SK, with his wife and their 10 children between the ages of one and 19.

He had the crowd and judges in awe as he sang from his soul.
