Amy Grant To Host Niece’s Same-Sex Wedding, Believes Jesus Wants Us To ‘Love God and Love Each Other’ By Jesse T. Jackson -December 9, 2022 Amy Grant Amy Grant screengrab via YouTube @The Kennedy Center Share Tweet Pin Pocket Flipboard Amy Grant is Christian music royalty, having been recognized by The Kennedy Center Honors earlier this month (Dec. 6). Along with being nominated for 20 Grammy awards, Grant has been awarded over 20 Gospel Music Association Dove Awards over her successful career.
Grant pushed the boundaries of Christian pop music with her 1991 release of “Heart In Motion.” The album would cross the barriers of Christian music, going on to sell more than 5 million copies.
Grant’s hit singles “Baby, Baby,” “That’s What Love Is For,” and “Every Heartbeat” propelled her into the limelight of secular radio stations and into the homes of pop listeners around the world.
The Christian music queen of pop’s success opened doors for other Christian artists like Michael W. Smith, who crossed into the secular music world with his hit album “Change Your World” in 1992.
Grant’s influential platform has given her the opportunity to speak out for the LGBTQ community. In 2013, Grant did her first LGBTQ+ press interview with PrideSource.com for the promotion of her “How Mercy Looks From Here” album.
In that interview, Grant answered questions about her faith and the LGBTQ community. She shared, “I know that the religious community has not been very welcoming, but I just want to stress that the journey of faith brings us into community, but it’s really about one relationship. The journey of faith is just being willing and open to have a relationship with God. And everybody is welcome. Everybody.”
Grant told “Proud Radio” host Hunter Kelly in 2021, “Nothing about who we are or what we’ve done. That’s why to me it’s so important to set a welcome table, because I was invited to a table where someone said, ‘Don’t be afraid, you’re loved.’ Gay. Straight. It does not matter.”
It “doesn’t matter how we behave. It doesn’t matter how we’re wired,” Grant said. “We’re all our best selves when we believe to our core: ‘I’m loved.’ And then our creativity flourishes. We’re like, ‘I’m gonna arrange flowers on your table and my table.’ When we’re loved, we’re brave enough to say yes to every good impulse that comes to us.”
More recently, Grant shared with The Washington Post that she and her husband will be hosting her niece’s wedding at their 450-acre farm.
We already knew she had honesty and integrity issues from her failed marriage
All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
Her next hit song will be
Living n Luvin in Laodicea.
Never heard of her. Who is this Amy Grant person?
everyone has fallen short, no question about that. But when these people promote sin and claim that it’s ok, then we have a problem.
I have heard of her. She is a “Christian” leftist.
That he does Amt, but does he consider supporting sin behavior loving one another?
Kinda easy to throw stones w/o knowing the particulars.
Bye bye, baby baby.
Many of even the older contemporary “Christian” artists have one foot in the world. What we are seeing is part of “the falling away” before the Lord returns for His true Church.
Bottom line, what happens at these concert events is "entertainment, not worship" and hence "Ichabod, the glory has departed."
John Calhoun was an optimist.
“ It “doesn’t matter how we behave. It doesn’t matter how we’re wired,” Grant said”
As our country swirls down the toilet 🚽 due to thinking like this.
She’s a nut job just say it
Actually, she broke onto the ‘Christian Rock’ scene around 1977-78. I purchased 2 maybe 3 of her albums.
Didn’t she do Electric Avenue?
Yes, but does this justify her actions? Jesus forgave the prostitute but said “Go and sin no more”. He didn’t throw a party for the brothel.
Another fraud going into the dustbin of history.
