If you are an American Idol-ater like my wife and me, you probably noticed the voice and sass of Mandisa. She was the one ripped on my Simon who said they would need a bigger stage, but then they showed her later forgiving him because of Jesus. She said, "I figure that if Jesus could die so that all of my wrongs could be forgiven, I can certainly extend that same grace to you."
Well Mandisa worked at LifeWay (SBC resources) and now sings at some Beth Moore stuff. Read about her at BP.

Yeah I was stunned when she said that and it got on tv. Phenomenal.
So glad the twins are off the air.

What shocked me is that her words actually shamed Simon Cowell - something that I don't think is very easy to do!

Very interesting article. I must admit when I first heard her comment about Jesus on AI, I cringed, thinking it was just another person using the name of Jesus who would then drag it through the mud 2 seconds later. What can I say, I'm a cynic. Doesn't seem to be the case with her though! Awesome.
