Country music star told to not mention Jesus – his response causes a standing ovation
Vince Gill, a celebrated country singer and Country Music Hall of Fame member, recently faced a surprising restriction while performing at the Grand Ole Opry: he was forbidden from singing about Jesus.

Instead of complying, Gill chose to sing “Why Me Lord,” a powerful gospel song by Kris Kristofferson. His decision to perform a song that reflects his faith led to a standing ovation from the audience, demonstrating that they valued the emotion of his performance over the imposed rules.
