12-year-old Kerr James brought the crowd to their feet with his rendition of ‘Try A Little Tenderness’ on Britain’s Got Talent.
This song was first recorded in 1932, and multiple artists lent their voices to the tune. Some popular versions come from Bing Crosby and Ted Lewis. But it was Otis Redding’s soulful version of the song in 1966 that truly propelled it to popularity.
“You know she's waiting
Just anticipating
The thing that you'll never, never, never, never possess, yeah, yeah
But while she's there waiting
Without them try a little tenderness
That's all you got to do”
Today, young Kerr James is performing this iconic song and it’s definitely not what I expected from the 12-year-old.
Kerr is auditioning for the popular talent competition, Britain’s Got Talent. Even though he may be young, Kerr has been performing for years. This teen also writes his own songs and plays a variety of instruments.
When he stepped onto the stage, I was prepared for a modern song. I did not think this young boy would sing a soul song like ‘Try A Little Tenderness.’ But as soon as he started to belt out the powerful lyrics, everyone was blown away.
The judges have a look of shock and awe on their faces while the audience is cheering with excitement. And when he hit that high note at the end, I knew this wasn’t the last we would be seeing of Kerr James.
I can’t wait to see what the future holds for this rising star in the competition.
What a sweet video of parents reacting to their son receiving great news about his bar exam results!
The recent law school grad was waiting for his bar exam score for weeks, and when the time came for him to see how he did, he was anxious about seeing the results.
“My hand is shaking,” says the student. You can see how nervous he is as he is taking deep breaths and placing his hand over his beating heart.
Looking for their support, the student waited until his parents came home before opening up the email to see his results.
“Oh Jesus, help me.” His mother says as she is just as nervous as her son to see the outcome.
As the son is reading the email, he shouts with joy! “Congratulations on passing the bar exam!”
Neither him or his parents can contain their excitement! They are all enthusiastically shouting, clapping, and jumping up and down at the great news.
His mother keeps shouting, “Yes! Yes! Yes! Lord Jesus!”
They go back to the screen to read the congratulatory message again. ““Oh! Thank you, Jesus! Thank you, Jesus!”
Seeing his mother thanking God with shouts of praise reminds me of Psalm 35:27. “But those who want the best for me, let them have the last word - a glad shout! - and say, over and over and over, ‘God is great - everything works together for good for his servant.’"
What a sweet image to see the student weeping happy tears, and his mother thanking God while hugging her son.
God gives such good gifts. He deserves all of our praise and thanksgiving for all the blessings that he gives us. And seeing this mom praising the Lord for the opportunity that was given to her son with such a grateful heart is so sweet and encouraging!
In his most recent ‘I Am Second’ video, country singer Josh Turner shares his testimony and opens us about some of the trials that he has faced while chasing his dream.
“It’s been a wild ride,” says Josh. “It hasn’t been just positive stuff. There’s been some really tough, challenging things that I’ve been through.”
Josh then goes on to list all of the things that he’s had to endure, just physically, over the years.
“Everything from spinal stenosis, to my vocal injury back in 1996, I’ve broken my jaw, I’ve chipped numerous teeth, I’ve gashed my chin open, I’ve had two broken noses, I got hit in the head with a brick, I’ve had two concussions…just recently, I’ve had sinus surgery.”
The list goes on and on for him. But Josh says that the things in life that are worth it, whether it be your job, your marriage, or your children, are worth fighting for. He says that he commits these things to prayer on a daily basis. The country singer knows that he wants his faith to have a firm foundation in every dream or goal that he goes after.
And Josh knows that without Jesus, nothing in this world can bring you true satisfaction.
“The success that we have in our minds, once you actually achieve it, if you ever do achieve it, a lot of times it just leaves you flat,” he explains. “It leaves you empty. It doesn’t fill that void that you are trying to fill. The only way that you can fill that void is with Jesus, and I’ve learned that first hand.”
Josh Turner later explains how he can relate to the two disciples that Jesus called out to on the Sea of Galilee. He called them to throw down their nets and follow him. Jesus wanted to make them fishers of men. He called them into something bigger and better.
The country star says that God did the same thing for him. He called him away from his comfort zone, away from his hometown, and had a dream for him to go after in Nashville, TN.
“God knew what potential I had. He knew that He had given me a talent and I was supposed to use it. And I chose to do that.”
And now Josh is using his gift to share his faith with others.
“Not only have I made country music, but I’ve said from the day I got my record deal, that this is not just about me. I want to be able to have a platform to where I can make a positive impact in people’s lives.”
Josh knows that God is good, and he wants to let the people that listen to his music know that as well. What a great reminder that we can all use the gifts that we’ve been given to the glory to God!
The true meaning of Easter is not eggs or bunnies, its the death and resurrection of Jesus. Throughout the years the meaning has been watered down and pushed to the back of people's minds. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with having fun on Easter. But we need to remember what we are really celebrating. Not to let the importance of the day go by without expressing our true gratefulness for what he has done.
Please enjoy the video... We hope this video sparked some thought?
Let us know in the comments below what Easter means to you. Or... just let us know your thoughts.

This world is filled with battles! One way to prepare for these battles is to at least read God’s Word on a regular basis. God’s Word reveals what our resurrected King has done… and how to advance His kingdom. God’s Word is our manual on how to live.
In addition as we read His Word believe God to open our eyes to see wonderful things in His Word. (Psalm 119:18)
This Bible reading program is the only one I know that provides short reading segments in both Testaments. (Old and New) This method allows time to meditate on our Bible reading. However please realize that action needs to take place.
Consider these portions in God’s Word.
James 1:22 “But be doers of the Word [obey the message], and not merely listeners to it, betraying yourselves [into deception by reasoning contrary to the Truth].”
Hebrews 4:2 “For this wonderful news—the message that God wants to save us—has been given to us just as it was to those who lived in the time of Moses. But it didn’t do them any good because they didn’t believe it. They didn’t mix it with faith.”
People of all walks of life need help and many are facing very difficult times.
Therefore effectual fervent prayer is essential! This is one reason why Royal Prayer Guards (R.P.G.'s) exist.
We are continuing to search for those who desire to pray and become a valuable asset for God’s kingdom.
I am offering you a great opportunity to become a Royal Prayer Guard (R.P.G.).
On behalf of the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ please join the other Royal Prayer Guards. Let us all move together in prayer, authority and power against the kingdom darkness. Furthermore let our heavenly Father know that He can depend on His children to do His will.
‘This Is Us’ star Chrissy Metz performs ‘I'm Standing With You’ live at the 54th Academy Of Country Music Awards. This powerful single is featured on the soundtrack for the faith-based film ‘Breakthrough.’
“I’ll be there
Through whatever you go through
I’m standing with you
Here wherever you go to
I’ll stand beside you
And when you think that all the odds are all against you
And you just feel like giving up, well, I won’t let you
Through whatever you go through
I’m standing with you
I’m standing with you”
‘Breakthrough’ is a true story about one mother’s unwavering love. Actress Chrissy Metz stars as Joyce Smith, a mother who is tested after tragedy. At first, life is good for The Smith family but when their adopted son, John, falls through an icy lake, everything changes.
John spent nearly 15 minutes in the water and all hope seemed to be lost. In fact, he appeared lifeless after he was brought to the surface and doctors doubted if he would even make it through the night. But, Joyce’s faith in God was greater than anything on Earth and John miraculously survived.
This inspiring story is based on Joyce’s 2017 book ‘The Impossible: The Miraculous Story of a Mother’s Faith and Her Child’s Resurrection.’
Today, Chrissy is performing the powerful sing from the film alongside some of country music’s most talented women. Carrie Underwood, Lauren Alaina and many more join her onstage for this unforgettable performance.
It was truly one of the highlights of the evening and this is sure to be a film that everyone is talking about. Breakthrough hits theaters on April 17th.
Here is a video that will manifest the peace of God and His calmness in you! Every time I watch this video I am uplifted, I pray it’s the same for you! Be encouraged this day no matter what you are going through for Jesus is alive forevermore!!
Revelation 1:18 “I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death.”
Broadway performers visit Good Morning America for a medley of classic Disney songs.
In honor of 25 years of Disney on Broadway, talented singers and dancers belted out some of our all-time favorites. From Beauty And The Beast to Frozen, this incredible medley begs you to sing along.
“Be our guest, be our guest
Put our service to the test
Tie your napkin 'round your neck, cherie
And we'll provide the rest
Soup du jour, hot hors d'oeuvres
Why, we only live to serve
Try the grey stuff, it's delicious
Don't believe me, ask the dishes”
Whenever I hear classics like this, I am always transported back in time to my childhood and it puts the biggest smile on my face. I can remember watching these movies in theaters and singing along to every single song.
Films such as The Little Mermaid and The Lion King are timeless Walt Disney films that made up many of the memories of our youth. And as these stars beautifully belted out the lyrics, everything floods right back.
“Can you feel the love tonight
The peace the evening brings
The world for once in perfect harmony
With all its living things”
Everyone in the audience was clapping along to these fan favorites and I couldn’t help but join in too. After 25 years, the Disney shows on Broadway are still some of the top performers.
With amazing performers and beloved stories, I think these shows will be a staple for many more years to come. Have you seen any of the Disney shows on Broadway?
Sometimes we need to remember who formed us and allow God to have His way in our life. Go with God's flow in your life. Be blessed in Jesus name! Thank you for watching!
