What the ‘American Idol’ finalists have said about faith, worship and God’s guidance
2. Hannah Harper: ‘He can meet you anywhere’
Harper, a mother of three who grew up singing in her family’s bluegrass-gospel band and is a favorite of judge Carrie Underwood, has spoken openly about her Christian upbringing and love for Jesus throughout the season.
During her audition, Harper shared how God saved her amid a battle with postpartum depression.
During “Songs of Faith Night,” she performed “At the Cross” and later reflected on how meaningful it was to share her beliefs on national television.
“I've been in ministry since I was 9 years old, and it looks different for other people, but having a platform at this level and getting to still be this open about my relationship with the Lord is an incredible honor to me,” she told The Christian Post.
The singer also shared that ahead of each performance, she and several other contestants, including Kyndal Inskeep, who was eliminated last month, would pray for one another.
“The entire competition in itself is scary, and there's a lot of spiritual warfare in LA, and we both are like sponges when it comes to that,” she said. “We feel all of it. So it’s been really nice to have somebody like-minded in that sense to be able to share these moments with me.”
“I think it’s important for people to know you’re never too far gone,” Harper said. “He can meet you anywhere … no matter what walk of life you’re in.”
