I knew she wouldn’t deny her faith.

Give her time ...

[@rhondathomas7952]

The Advocate is strong in this one. We need to all pray for her to keep spreading the good news not predicting her downfall. Shame on those who do. Thanks for your comment.

We saw her at Winter Jam 2023 and my best friend Kelly and I were hooked the first time we heard her sing

So proud of you Anne!!!

She has always had a country twist on Christian music even in her first album, you have people who sing Christian Rock, Anne sings Christian country. It's just the musical style, but the lyrics still are Christian.

Idn why she's doing great with God's help😊

[@lauralucchesi-wright3292]

You are awesome anne ❤️

[@sonicshooter2]

I just hope she doesn’t broaden her audience too much. Too many Christian artists lost their way going along with the world’s delusions, especially Dolly Parton and Amy Grant

[@feathercatcher7682]

Keep the faith

[@tonyreyna1067]

I agree

[@marinecorpswarrior915]

Especially Amy Grant

I hope she broadens her audience tremendously and has great success.

"Love on both fan bases." While unabashedly & cheerfully placing Jesus first. It seems genuine enough from Anne Wilson. And Country Music and Christian Music have plenty of overlap already. SOMEONE needs to fill Randy Travis' shoes or step in for a while. I know, Anne Wilson isn't Randy Travis. There is a slight difference in style. 😄😇

why cross over? if you are a Christian ( you claim) why switch to singing secular country songs? money? fame? show us where it says in the bible its ok to sing secular music and still claim to follow Christ...

[@John_3_16]

Did you watch the video? She isn't singing secular country songs, she is singing songs with a country sound that have Christian lyrics.

[@donmcc6573]

Show us in the Bible where it is not OK to sing secular music.

[@daisyblue7209]

​@@John_3_16 her music already has a country sound to it. That's why she said in the video that she was getting comments from people who said they were not Christians but they liked her music because they listen to country music. Her voice and music already sound country the only difference is the Christian lyrics. So I really don't see the point in switching over to country music with all the bad influences and being in the same class of singers that sing about getting drunk and cheating. 😥

[@John_3_16]

@@daisyblue7209 Maybe it means that her music will get played on country music stations

Maybe to spread Jesus to people that don’t listen to straight Christian music…. Why are y’all so judgemental? Maybe you should be trying to spread more of Jesus.
