Grandparents Dave and Marg earn a standing ovation with their jive audition on Britain’s Got Talent.
61-year-old Dave and 59-year-old Marg have been dancing together for three years. It all started when this married couple was given a gift certificate for dance lessons for Christmas.
It took a lot of coercing for Dave to agree, but finally the two went to Wolverhampton's Zig Zag Dance Factory. From that moment on, they’ve been a grooving duo.
Now, Dave and Marg are taking their talents all the way to the Britain’s Got Talent stage. "We have danced in competitions before but being in front of the judges and an audience, I just went blank. I can't even remember any of the comments! It was just an incredible experience," Dave said to Express And Star.
At first, they start off with a slow dance to ‘Something Stupid’ by Frank Sinatra. The judges look unimpressed as the couple sluggishly moves around the stage. But then, the music changes and Marg’s overcoat comes off to reveal a flashy red dress. The pair kicks it up a notch with a jive audition like no other.
The audience is instantly charmed by the two and judges start moving along to the beat. Dave and Marg easily earned 4 ‘yes’ votes from the judges and will move on to the next round of competition. Even Simon couldn’t resist standing for this lively dance audition.
What an incredible moment for these everyday market traders turned Latin dancers. Who else is looking forward to their next performance?
One soon-to-be-bride and her dying father shared a beautiful dance in place of the traditional engagement photos.
Growing up, Becky Carey always pictured dancing with her father at her wedding reception. In 2014, her dad, Tim Carey, was diagnosed with prostate and pancreatic cancer.
For years, he has been fighting the battle and Becky was optimistic that he would make it to her big day. But as her wedding date approached, Tim’s health began to drastically decline.
That’s when Becky made the decision to turn her engagement photo session into a photo shoot with her dad. She would put on her wedding dress and he would wear his Air Force uniform to capture some special moments.
One of those moments included a touching father-daughter dance between the two. They swayed along to Tim’s favorite song, ‘Unchained Melody’ as tears streamed down both of their faces.
"About halfway through the song, he started crying, so then, of course I started crying. I don’t know if he knew he wasn’t going to make it to the wedding day,” Becky said. Video and photographs show the duo dancing, laughing and whispering sweet words to one another.
Sadly, Tim passed away in his sleep before Becky’s nuptials. Even though he will not be at the wedding in person, Tim’s spirit will be right beside his daughter each step of the way.
Becky plans to play the video of their special dance during the reception and hopes she’ll be able to keep the tears at bay.
Country superstar George Strait performs his single ‘God And Country Music’ live at the 54th ACM Awards.
There’s something about country music and the gospel that fit together so perfectly. Nothing can compare to hearing an uplifting Christian song with a bluegrass backdrop.
Legendary country performer George Strait certainly agrees with this sentiment. The words of his latest song, from the album ‘Honky Tonk Time Machine,” remind us of the unique connection.
“God and country music,
They both showed you the truth
Seen the low of the valley
And the highs of the mountains too
Folded hands and guitar strings
Jukebox preachers and angels singing
Call you like they knew ya
Between the hell and hallelujah”
Today, George is performing this powerful single at the 54th Academy Of Country Music Awards show. With a guitar in his hand, this country icon belts out the words as members of the audience nod their head in agreement.
“God and country music are like whiskey and a prayer
Like Johnny Cash's arm around Billy Graham
God and country music
They both never change
You find 'em when you need 'em
Where you stand”
George Strait is one of the most beloved country artists of all-time. Time after time, his songs resonate with fans all over the world.
‘God And Country Music’ premiered during one of his ‘Strait to Vegas’ residency shows and, since that moment, people have rallied around the anthem. Everyone is in agreement, just like George sings, “there's two things still worth saving, God and country music.”
12-year-old Kerr James brought the crowd to their feet with his rendition of ‘Try A Little Tenderness’ on Britain’s Got Talent.
This song was first recorded in 1932, and multiple artists lent their voices to the tune. Some popular versions come from Bing Crosby and Ted Lewis. But it was Otis Redding’s soulful version of the song in 1966 that truly propelled it to popularity.
“You know she's waiting
Just anticipating
The thing that you'll never, never, never, never possess, yeah, yeah
But while she's there waiting
Without them try a little tenderness
That's all you got to do”
Today, young Kerr James is performing this iconic song and it’s definitely not what I expected from the 12-year-old.
Kerr is auditioning for the popular talent competition, Britain’s Got Talent. Even though he may be young, Kerr has been performing for years. This teen also writes his own songs and plays a variety of instruments.
When he stepped onto the stage, I was prepared for a modern song. I did not think this young boy would sing a soul song like ‘Try A Little Tenderness.’ But as soon as he started to belt out the powerful lyrics, everyone was blown away.
The judges have a look of shock and awe on their faces while the audience is cheering with excitement. And when he hit that high note at the end, I knew this wasn’t the last we would be seeing of Kerr James.
I can’t wait to see what the future holds for this rising star in the competition.
What a sweet video of parents reacting to their son receiving great news about his bar exam results!
The recent law school grad was waiting for his bar exam score for weeks, and when the time came for him to see how he did, he was anxious about seeing the results.
“My hand is shaking,” says the student. You can see how nervous he is as he is taking deep breaths and placing his hand over his beating heart.
Looking for their support, the student waited until his parents came home before opening up the email to see his results.
“Oh Jesus, help me.” His mother says as she is just as nervous as her son to see the outcome.
As the son is reading the email, he shouts with joy! “Congratulations on passing the bar exam!”
Neither him or his parents can contain their excitement! They are all enthusiastically shouting, clapping, and jumping up and down at the great news.
His mother keeps shouting, “Yes! Yes! Yes! Lord Jesus!”
They go back to the screen to read the congratulatory message again. ““Oh! Thank you, Jesus! Thank you, Jesus!”
Seeing his mother thanking God with shouts of praise reminds me of Psalm 35:27. “But those who want the best for me, let them have the last word - a glad shout! - and say, over and over and over, ‘God is great - everything works together for good for his servant.’"
What a sweet image to see the student weeping happy tears, and his mother thanking God while hugging her son.
God gives such good gifts. He deserves all of our praise and thanksgiving for all the blessings that he gives us. And seeing this mom praising the Lord for the opportunity that was given to her son with such a grateful heart is so sweet and encouraging!
In his most recent ‘I Am Second’ video, country singer Josh Turner shares his testimony and opens us about some of the trials that he has faced while chasing his dream.
“It’s been a wild ride,” says Josh. “It hasn’t been just positive stuff. There’s been some really tough, challenging things that I’ve been through.”
Josh then goes on to list all of the things that he’s had to endure, just physically, over the years.
“Everything from spinal stenosis, to my vocal injury back in 1996, I’ve broken my jaw, I’ve chipped numerous teeth, I’ve gashed my chin open, I’ve had two broken noses, I got hit in the head with a brick, I’ve had two concussions…just recently, I’ve had sinus surgery.”
The list goes on and on for him. But Josh says that the things in life that are worth it, whether it be your job, your marriage, or your children, are worth fighting for. He says that he commits these things to prayer on a daily basis. The country singer knows that he wants his faith to have a firm foundation in every dream or goal that he goes after.
And Josh knows that without Jesus, nothing in this world can bring you true satisfaction.
“The success that we have in our minds, once you actually achieve it, if you ever do achieve it, a lot of times it just leaves you flat,” he explains. “It leaves you empty. It doesn’t fill that void that you are trying to fill. The only way that you can fill that void is with Jesus, and I’ve learned that first hand.”
Josh Turner later explains how he can relate to the two disciples that Jesus called out to on the Sea of Galilee. He called them to throw down their nets and follow him. Jesus wanted to make them fishers of men. He called them into something bigger and better.
The country star says that God did the same thing for him. He called him away from his comfort zone, away from his hometown, and had a dream for him to go after in Nashville, TN.
“God knew what potential I had. He knew that He had given me a talent and I was supposed to use it. And I chose to do that.”
And now Josh is using his gift to share his faith with others.
“Not only have I made country music, but I’ve said from the day I got my record deal, that this is not just about me. I want to be able to have a platform to where I can make a positive impact in people’s lives.”
Josh knows that God is good, and he wants to let the people that listen to his music know that as well. What a great reminder that we can all use the gifts that we’ve been given to the glory to God!
The true meaning of Easter is not eggs or bunnies, its the death and resurrection of Jesus. Throughout the years the meaning has been watered down and pushed to the back of people's minds. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with having fun on Easter. But we need to remember what we are really celebrating. Not to let the importance of the day go by without expressing our true gratefulness for what he has done.
Please enjoy the video... We hope this video sparked some thought?
Let us know in the comments below what Easter means to you. Or... just let us know your thoughts.

This world is filled with battles! One way to prepare for these battles is to at least read God’s Word on a regular basis. God’s Word reveals what our resurrected King has done… and how to advance His kingdom. God’s Word is our manual on how to live.
In addition as we read His Word believe God to open our eyes to see wonderful things in His Word. (Psalm 119:18)
This Bible reading program is the only one I know that provides short reading segments in both Testaments. (Old and New) This method allows time to meditate on our Bible reading. However please realize that action needs to take place.
Consider these portions in God’s Word.
James 1:22 “But be doers of the Word [obey the message], and not merely listeners to it, betraying yourselves [into deception by reasoning contrary to the Truth].”
Hebrews 4:2 “For this wonderful news—the message that God wants to save us—has been given to us just as it was to those who lived in the time of Moses. But it didn’t do them any good because they didn’t believe it. They didn’t mix it with faith.”
People of all walks of life need help and many are facing very difficult times.
Therefore effectual fervent prayer is essential! This is one reason why Royal Prayer Guards (R.P.G.'s) exist.
We are continuing to search for those who desire to pray and become a valuable asset for God’s kingdom.
I am offering you a great opportunity to become a Royal Prayer Guard (R.P.G.).
On behalf of the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ please join the other Royal Prayer Guards. Let us all move together in prayer, authority and power against the kingdom darkness. Furthermore let our heavenly Father know that He can depend on His children to do His will.
‘This Is Us’ star Chrissy Metz performs ‘I'm Standing With You’ live at the 54th Academy Of Country Music Awards. This powerful single is featured on the soundtrack for the faith-based film ‘Breakthrough.’
“I’ll be there
Through whatever you go through
I’m standing with you
Here wherever you go to
I’ll stand beside you
And when you think that all the odds are all against you
And you just feel like giving up, well, I won’t let you
Through whatever you go through
I’m standing with you
I’m standing with you”
‘Breakthrough’ is a true story about one mother’s unwavering love. Actress Chrissy Metz stars as Joyce Smith, a mother who is tested after tragedy. At first, life is good for The Smith family but when their adopted son, John, falls through an icy lake, everything changes.
John spent nearly 15 minutes in the water and all hope seemed to be lost. In fact, he appeared lifeless after he was brought to the surface and doctors doubted if he would even make it through the night. But, Joyce’s faith in God was greater than anything on Earth and John miraculously survived.
This inspiring story is based on Joyce’s 2017 book ‘The Impossible: The Miraculous Story of a Mother’s Faith and Her Child’s Resurrection.’
Today, Chrissy is performing the powerful sing from the film alongside some of country music’s most talented women. Carrie Underwood, Lauren Alaina and many more join her onstage for this unforgettable performance.
It was truly one of the highlights of the evening and this is sure to be a film that everyone is talking about. Breakthrough hits theaters on April 17th.
