Music legend Lionel Richie recently shared how his faith in Christ remains the cornerstone of his legendary career.
He emphasized that his hit song “Jesus Is Love” continues to serve as a vital message for a world in desperate need of prayer.
Richie described his creative talent as a divine anointing that he felt from a very young age.
He views his platform not just as entertainment, but as an opportunity for ministry and spiritual encouragement.
“If someone said to me years ago… ‘You need to get turned on to God,’ I said, ‘I’ve been turned on forever. What are you talking about?’”
“It’s gracious and it’s wonderful, and it’s glorious. You just have to be able to understand that when you’re anointed, you take that step.”
As believers, we are encouraged by artists who stand boldly for the Truth in an industry that often rejects God.
Let us pray that more voices in the public square will point the world back to the love of Jesus Christ.
