This article from The Christian Post titled “Dennis Quaid Says There’s a ‘Spiritual Awakening’ Amid ‘Turmoil’ Reveals His Favorite Book of the Bible” shares a recent interview with actor Dennis Quaid. Quaid shared about his journey towards Christ and how his recent gospel album, “Fallen: A Gospel Record for Sinners,” reflects his spiritual convictions. He explained, “I thought it would work to reach people that aren’t in that world and are in that world because we’re all sinners. And it’s by grace that we’re saved, and that’s free, redeemed. That’s what I want the songs to reflect. This record is really the story of my spiritual journey.”

This article from Church Leaders titled “‘The Church Is My Life’ – 71-year-old Pastor Shot in Mouth Returns to Pulpit on Easter” highlights the remarkable bravery of Pastor Clemmie Livingston Jr. of New Zionfield Baptist Church in Memphis, Tennessee. In late February, Pastor Livingston was shot in the mouth during a car theft, which left him with a completely shattered jaw. Miraculously, Pastor Livingston returned to the pulpit a month later on Easter morning. He told his congregation, “You know it’s resurrection Sunday, but it also is a testimony Sunday for me. I had to hold to the faith when I was struck by a stray bullet. Don’t know where it came from. I just saw myself going down on my knees.”
