Lauren Daigle’s career has been booming since the launch of her album “Look Up Child”, which ranked number 3 on the Billboard 200, a chart that spans across all music genres.
Most recently, the Christian singer appeared on “The Ellen Show,” after which Daigle received some major backlash for performing on a show where the host is openly homosexual. Sadly, singing on the show of a “Godless sinner like Ellen” was the exact quote one preacher’s wife used in critiquing Daigle’s choice.
In a recent interview with WAY-FM Radio, Daigle was asked about the controversy that was aroused by her performance.
One Way-FM listener wrote the following message after they aired their segment with the singer:
“Ellen brings absolutely no glory to God. I don’t see the significance to the kingdom of God by using her as any kind of example on your show. Consider this: she will most likely never discuss you and WAY-FM on her show, so don’t give her that much power.
-Debbie”
Daigle, however, seems to have a different perspective. The two-time Grammy nominee sent a riveting message to her haters, warning them to be careful about missing the heart of God:
“It is not up to me to choose who I am supposed to love.”
Like Jesus, she believes we are called to love and bring the Gospel message to all of His people.
“I think the second we start drawing lines around which people are able to be approached and which aren’t, we’ve already completely missed the heart of God,” said Daigle.
