American Idol will be joining Easter Celebrations this April 20^th with a star-studded night of worship. All 20 contestants on the show will participate in the show’s “Songs of Faith” special and perform worship and gospel songs. CeCe Winans and Brandon Lake will make appearances during the show, as well as the Gospel quartet The Brown Four, Jelly Roll, and former “Idol” Roman Collins. The show’s judges, Luke Bryan, Lionel Richie and Carrie Underwood, will also be performing faith songs. It is the first time the show has had an Easter special.

Lake and Jelly Roll will perform their collaboration “Hard Fought Hallelujah.” Jelly Roll is the newest artist in residence for the show. Jelly Roll, whose real name is Jason Bradley DeFord, has opened up about his faith and the ways he has tried to make amends for a former life of drugs and arrests. “This is so hard to talk about, because I’ve been called a ‘lukewarm’, a ‘fence-rider’, I’ve been called a ‘cussing Christian’. You know, I’ve had all these people…and I know that God’s got a lot more to do with me,” he said in a conversation about his collaboration with Lake. “I know that. I know I got a long way to go, and I know that my heart was only to share the faith that changed my life… I might wear it a little different than other people, I might say things that other Christians don’t think are right to say, but ultimately, I have a heart for God and I have a heart for Jesus.”

This season has had a number of professing Christians sharing their faith through song. Carrie Underwood was brought to tears by a recent rendition of Lake’s song “Gratitude” by contestants Breanna Nix and Rylie O’Neill. It prompted Underwood to address being openly Christian in the entertainment industry. “I wanna tell you, I know how difficult it is to come into the entertainment industry and bring your faith with you. It is a brave thing to do because there are a lot of outside forces that are going to tell you not to do that,” she said. “I want to tell you that I’m proud of you guys.”
