Jennie Finch-Daigle is a former Olympic softball champion and current contestant on Dancing With The Stars. But recently, Jennie was met with moral dilemma when she was asked to perform to a risque song.
After going back and forth, Jennie ultimately decided that this song was not representative of what she stood for and asked producers to give her an alternate selection. This amazing woman said that she wanted to glorify God and she couldn't do that dancing to an inappropriate song, especially when young girls look up to her as a role model.
In this day and age, standing up for your faith doesn't happen that often so I'm so proud of Jennie for speaking up for God. She went on to perform a great Cha-Cha routine to “Do It Like This" by Daphne Willis. Who else is clapping for this strong, Christian woman?

He easily earned a standing ovation, but what really surprised me is when judge Alesha pressed her golden buzzer sending Lifford straight through to the semi-finals. Lifford gave this audition his all and it truly paid off big time. I can't wait to see him during the live shows!
With God, there is truly hope and truth. When we give our life over to the Lord, there is a better one waiting for us in Heaven. God loves us more than we can ever imagine and He has given us so much by sending His only Son to die for our sins. Because of this, we are now forgiven and will live out our days in Heaven.
That's exactly what the powerful lyrics of 'Living Hope' from Phil Wickham will remind you of. And this studio session is absolutely amazing to hear. He is truly our light in the dark and the compass that will always guide us home. Because of His sacrifice and mercy we are forever His.
These lyrics are so true and I just love singing them out loud to our God. Who else wants to join me?
