The year 2020 saw a significant rise in Christians turning back to Christ, with heartfelt acknowledgments of Jesus Christ by Christian artists on mega-talent shows like American Idol and The Voice.
One of the most inspiring moments of the year came when a Mississippi pastor was crowned the winner of The Voice Season 18 after delivering a moving rendition of the Christian hit song “I Can Only Imagine.”
Todd Tilghman, a 42-year-old pastor, performed MercyMe’s iconic worship song during the finale. His heartfelt delivery felt like a worship session, inspiring both the audience and the judges.
Due to the pandemic, the finale featured remote performances, with Todd and other finalists singing virtually as coaches Blake Shelton, Kelly Clarkson, Nick Jonas, and John Legend watched from their respective homes.
Kelly Clarkson was especially moved by Todd’s performance. Fighting back tears, she said: “You are so moving, and it’s because you’re a pastor. It’s because you have a bigger belief inside of you than just yourself. I would love to come to your church just to hear you speak, not only sing. You’re very special.”
To which Todd joyfully responded, “You’re invited! You’re invited,” adding, “You’re special.”
When the host announced Todd as the winner, his wife, Brooke, and their children celebrated with tears of joy.
We congratulate Todd for this fabulous victory and pray that he keeps using his voice to sing and preach for the glory of God and leads many thousands to God with his talent.
