In a quiet Tennessee town, Rolling Hills Community Church worshippers were met with an unexpected yet powerful presence. Grammy-winning artist Carrie Underwood, known for her soulful country hits, took the stage to lead the congregation in worship, delivering a stirring rendition of “Goodness of God.” The song, originally by Bethel Music and later popularized by CeCe Winans, resonated deeply with those in attendance.
Underwood’s appearance was a performance and a moment of genuine spiritual connection. Videos of the event quickly spread across social media, capturing the hearts of both fans and those unfamiliar with her music. Instagram buzzed with praise, one attendee, Emily Woods, calling it “an unexpected blessing this morning, the voice of an angel.”
The reaction online was overwhelmingly positive. The Bethel Music fan page echoed the sentiment, remarking Underwood’s evident passion, “It’s amazing to hear her sing about God… It blessed me so much.” Another comment summed up a shared desire: “I wish she’d do a Christian album. Man, that’d be amazing.”
Underwood’s faith has always been a cornerstone of her life and career. She has never shied away from expressing her beliefs, often intertwining them with her public persona. In 2020, she and her husband, Mike Fisher, discussed their faith in a series of videos for I Am Second. They hoped to inspire others to explore their spiritual journeys.
“We wanted to do this to share some of our journey in hopes that viewers will be inspired,” Underwood said.
Faith is not just a public stance for Underwood; it’s a daily practice. In her personal life, she and Fisher are committed to raising their two sons with strong Christian values. “Mike and I do all we can to raise our two boys with values like the ones I grew up with in Checotah,” Underwood shared in an interview with Guideposts.
At the heart of their family life is a nightly ritual of prayer, a simple yet profound way to ensure their children understand the importance of faith. “Just talking to God, letting them know He hears their every word,” Underwood said, highlighting how their family’s connection to God is nurtured daily.
