Jelly Roll won three Dove Awards -trophies at the Christian Music Awards, including Song of the Year for his Brandon Lake -Cooperation, Hard fought Hallelujah.
The national artist has been vocal about his Christian faith for the past few years and believes it saved him from self -destruction.
“The world hears about Jesus, as if they are not in decades right now,” he told the audience during his acceptance speech.
He continued, “There is a revival in the United States where you cannot walk on a corner and not hear about Jesus right now.”
“I thank God for seeing I could see the forest for the trees,” Save me Hitmaker added.
The Christian singer Forrest Frank won the Dove Awards’ highest honor, artist of the year, at night, but was not present at the ceremony.
Frank previously uploaded a video on his social media, stating that he is not attending any award ceremonies, including the Christian Music Awards because he does not want industry recognition for music expressing his faith.
“I love that you said, ‘I don’t want to get a trophy for something that is from Jesus for Jesus’, which is amazing,” Jelly noted on social media at the time, “but also earn millions of dollars that do the same thing that is from Jesus for Jesus.”
“Maybe I’m missing something here lol,” concluded Jelly Roll.
