New Inspirational Film Southern Gospel Releases In Theaters

A new inspirational, faith-based film, Southern Gospel, will be released in theaters nationwide beginning Friday, March 10.

Starring Max Ehrich (The Young and the Restless) and Katelyn Nacon (The Walking Dead), this film will inspire and encourage audiences across the country.

Samuel Allen, a 1960s rockstar, finds himself in jail after struggling with years of anger and blame toward organized religion that has led him down a road of rebellion. In a moment of divine intervention, the judge dismisses drug charges against him under the pretense that Allen speaks to local schools and churches about the dangers of drugs. Given a second chance, he follows in his father’s footsteps to become a preacher.

Disney Star Joshua Bassett Is Baptized At Bethel Church

Disney star Joshua Bassett of High School Musical: The Musical: The Series was baptized at Bethel Church in Redding, California on Sunday after recently declaring his faith in Jesus Christ.

Bassett shared a clip of himself on social media explaining why he chose to get baptized.

“Hi, my name is Joshua,” he said in the video while standing onstage at Bethel Church. “And long story short, I grew up Christian, and I ran the other way as far as I could go in pursuit of ‘truth,’ and that only ended in addiction, depression, suicidal ideation, eating disorders, etc. And no other teacher gave me anywhere near the peace that Jesus Christ did. And I’m here to publicly declare Him as my Lord and Savior.”

As Christian Headlines previously reported, Bassett posted a tweet saying, “Jesus Christ is the only way. His death and resurrection are historically documented. Turn away [from] hate, seek forgiveness and come home to Him.”

Bassett is known for his role as Ricky in High School Musical: The Musical: The Series on Disney+. For more information, visit www.joshuabassett.com.
