Worship leader and songwriter Jon Reddick has given an update on his wife's health. 

Late last month, he announced that his wife, Rebecca, was diagnosed with early-onset colon cancer.

"The diagnosis is positive as it was hopefully detected early enough," said Reddick when the discovery was made. "This is a deeply personal diagnosis as Rebecca lost her dad to colon cancer at this same age, so as you can imagine, we are extremely grateful for this early diagnosis and surgery."

Christian artist Lecrae recently sat down with industry giant Will Smith to talk about his rise and fall in Hollywood, as well as his faith. 

"There's this image on the internet, and it's a little girl holding a little bear," says Smith. "It's like Jesus standing over her with a big bear behind his back. But she can't see the big bear, so she's clinging to the little bear, not trusting that if you let go of the little bear, you'll get the big one. There's a trust of God, of source, there's a trust of the truth, that you got to let go of the little bear."

A youth ministry in the heart of Franklin, TN, is thriving 30 years after getting started by Christian legend Michael W. Smith. 

Rocketown is a place for kids between the ages of 10 and 20 to find refuge, skateboard, play video games, get a hot meal, or just have a place to do homework.

Going through the wringer is what led to a new song from a Canadian artist, Matt LeFait released "The God Who Sees Me." 

"Last year, my wife and whole family went through the wringer. There were seasons of loss and uncertainty. I literally wrote this song in that season, like right in the middle of it, the song's written from Genesis 16 about Hagar, Abraham, and Sarai."

Backstreet Boy Brian Littrell's son, Baylee, has caught the music bug. 

The 22-year-old auditioned for American Idol and, after a stunning performance in front of judges, was given a golden ticket to Hollywood.

He was even given the chance to perform a duet with his dad in front of judges, which brought Brian to tears. 

The father of a 17-year-old track star who was fatally injured by another youth has forgiven the attacker. 

The incident happened Wednesday morning at a high school track meet in Dallas.

Frinco police said in a release that an altercation between two students resulted in one student stabbing the other. They say, despite lifesaving measures by bystanders, including his twin brother, police and fire personnel, the youth died.

A 17-year-old was arrested and has been charged with first-degree murder. 

God will be front and centre as American Idol prepares to host a never-before-done Songs of Faith episode. 

The three-hour-long special will air on Easter Sunday and will feature the top 20 contestants singing only faith-inspired songs.

There will also be special guest performances from CeCe Winans, Roman Collins, Brandon Lake and Jelly Roll.

Judges Lionel Ritchie, Carrie Underwood, who is not afraid to show her faith, and Luke Bryan will also sing during the show. 

Earlier this week, Christian artist TobyMac alluded to a huge collaboration being released on Friday, and indeed, it surprised everyone when he shared that it was Forrest Frank. 

The new, sped-up version of TobyMac's "Heaven on My Mind," featuring Frank, was released on April 4.

Frank has risen quite fast in the Christian music scene with his first album, California Cowboy, only released in 2023. Frank is currently on tour, headlining, with a wife and child at home. 

Based out of the Toronto area, Canadian Christian singer and songwriter Morrissa Nicole is releasing a new song in time for Easter. 

"I think you get into music the way most believers get into music," says Nicole. "Obviously through church. You're in children's choir, VBS, and teen choir. Church is such a powerful playing ground for discovering your talent. If you want to discover what you're good at, you want to be in church. We're going to shine that light."

After an eight-day trip to the International Space Station turned into 286 days, veteran astronaut Barry "Butch" Wilmore says attending church virtually was vital. 

When Wilmore spoke to media for the first time since returning to Earth, he shared that staying connected virtually to his home church, Providence Baptist Church in Pasadena, Texas was "vital."
