Friend of the Podcast – Brennley Brown to Debut at the Grand Ole Opry: A Testament to Faith and Talent

As a pastor and host of a Christian podcast, I have had the distinct honor of speaking with many talented and inspiring individuals. One such person who has left a profound impact on me and countless others is Brennley Brown. It is with great joy and pride that I share the exciting news that Brennley will be making her debut at the Grand Ole Opry next month!

Click here to see how Brennley was surprised by none other than Dolly Parton breaking the big news.

For those of you who have followed Brennley’s journey, you know that her path to this prestigious stage has been paved with unwavering faith, dedication, and an incredible gift for music. From a young age, Brennley’s talent was evident, but it was her steadfast faith and commitment to using her gifts for God’s glory that truly set her apart.

I first met Brennley when she graciously agreed to be a guest on my podcast. We spoke at length about her upbringing, her deep-rooted faith, and her dreams of sharing her music with the world. What struck me most was her humility and her profound understanding that her talent was a gift from God, meant to be used to inspire and uplift others.

As Brennley prepares to step onto the stage of the Grand Ole Opry, she does so not just as a performer, but as a beacon of hope and a testament to what can be achieved when we place our trust in the Lord. Her journey has not been without challenges, but through it all, she has remained grounded in her faith, allowing it to guide her every step of the way.

The Grand Ole Opry, often referred to as the home of American music, is a place where legends are born and celebrated. For Brennley to be given this opportunity is a testament to her hard work, her exceptional talent, and the impact she has already made in the world of country music. More importantly, it is a reflection of the light she brings to everything she does, a light that shines brightly for all to see.

In our conversations, Brennley often spoke about her desire to touch hearts and change lives through her music. As she stands on that iconic stage, I have no doubt that she will do just that. Her voice, filled with emotion and conviction, will resonate with every person in the audience, reminding them of the power of faith and the beauty of following one’s God-given calling.

As a community, let us join together in celebrating this incredible milestone in Brennley’s career. Let us lift her up in prayer, asking for God’s continued blessings upon her life and her music. And let us be inspired by her example, knowing that with faith, perseverance, and a heart dedicated to serving the Lord, all things are possible.

Brennley, we are so proud of you. Your debut at the Grand Ole Opry is just the beginning of the many great things God has in store for you. May you continue to shine His light wherever you go, touching hearts and changing lives with every note you sing.

God bless you, Brennley, and congratulations on this well-deserved honor!

Dolly Just Continues To Be A Class Act

Source: Clash America.com 

In the article, Watch: ABC Tries To Get Dolly To Diss Donald – Here’s Dolly’s Response, there is highlighted an exchange between Dolly Parton and ABC’s Nightline correspondent David Wright. The exchange went like this:

ABC: The sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical portrayed so effectively in (9 to 5) by actor Dabney Coleman hasn’t exactly disappeared from the culture. We have a president of the United States who said the things on that bus.

DOLLY: I’m not addressing that; I do not get into that. Of course, I have my opinion about everybody and everything, but I learned a long time ago keep your damn mouth shut if you want to stay in show business. I’m not in politics, I am an entertainer.

ABC: And yet you’re also a role model.

DOLLY: Yes, I am. That’s why I don’t talk about people.

And here is the video clip:

It never gets old watching someone Do The Right Thing! Thank you Dolly for having such class.
