Country Star Jimmie Allen Reveals the Worship Group That ‘Literally’ Saved His Life
By Movieguide® Contributor
Country music star Jimmie Allen is sharing his appreciation and love for contemporary Christian music and how it has personally impacted him.
“It grounds you,” he said of Christian music. “I love Christian music. I grew up Christian – and still am. But I’ve always wanted to do country music. But I’m a huge Christian music fan, and I’ve always wanted to do songs with Christian artists.”
Allen also spoke about how one Christian music group saved his life.
“About a year ago, I was in a rough place,” the singer explained. “And Maverick City Music’s music saved my life – literally. And I got to meet Chandler [Moore] from Maverick City Music, and I told him that. … Every genre is important, but for, personally, there’s something special about Christian music that grounds me and takes me back to my roots, and kind of re-focuses me on where I need to be and what I need to do.”
The country star, who is a devout Christian, credits God with helping him find success in the music industry.
“It took me 10 and a half years to get a record deal in Nashville. And without patience, it wouldn’t have happened,” he said. Allen also explained that he lets “God fight the battle.”
“Because a lot of times, we want to step in there and help Him,” the singer continued, “and the only thing we’re doing is getting in His way.”
