Mandisa Is in Heaven, Still Worshipping Jesus
If you are in crisis, please call 988 or visit suicidepreventionlifeline.org. You are not alone.
On the surface, contemporary Christian singer Mandisa epitomized success. She became a musical star after her appearance on “American Idol” in 2006 and won a Grammy for Best Contemporary Christian Album in 2014.
But those who read her interviews or followed her on social media knew she struggled with low self-esteem, weight issues and depression. In 2017 she told ABC News that she had contemplated suicide. In her 2022 memoir, “Out of the Dark,” she admitted that she had been raped, and that her suicidal thoughts were in part due to the death of a close friend who had breast cancer.
Mandisa—whose full name was Mandisa Lynn Hundley—was found dead in her home in Nashville, Tennessee, last Thursday, April 18. She was only 47. Police are still investigating, and a cause of death has not been announced. But in a video she posted a few days before she died, Mandisa candidly talked about her emotional battles, admitting she was “in a season of lament” because another close friend had died.

Jenny Weaver Warning: The Jezebel Spirit Is in the Church
The Jezebel spirit has found its way into the church and mainstream culture.
In a new video, revivalist and ex-witch Jenny Weaver is calling out the influx of the Jezebel spirit in our culture and churches today.
“This spirit is very, very present in our churches, in our pulpits, in our choirs, on our worship teams and the intercessory team, in the prophetic teams,” Weaver says. “We need to unmask the spirit and the spirit behaves a certain way.”
Nearly 2,000 Minnesota Students, 15 Teachers Walk Out of LGBTQ ‘Indoctrination’ Lesson
Nearly 2,000 Minnesota high school students opted out of an “LGBTQIA+ History and Culture” lesson earlier this month, according to a local parent’s rights group.
The opt-outs came after Liberty Counsel, a non-profit legal group, sent a demand letter to Osseo Area Schools District 279, in March requesting that both teachers and students “whose sincerely-held religious beliefs conflict with the lesson be permitted to opt out of it.
“Teachers have expressed to Liberty Counsel that this one-sided LGBT political indoctrination violates parental rights and the teachers’ sincerely-held religious beliefs; that they object to teaching it; and that they fear retaliation if they seek to exercise their rights under Title VII to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 for a religious accommodation,” the letter stated.
