Country music star pulled her Bible into bed with her to get through divorce
Waldrup was not only a top 5 finalist on Season 25 of “The Voice,” she’s a BMI songwriter and a member of the Recording Academy (NARAS) and the Country Music Association (CMA). She’s won 12 Nashville Industry Music Awards and has seven studio albums and over 50 songs released worldwide.
“After a lot of time, reflection and prayer, I’m ready to share that my marriage has ended in divorce,” she wrote to fans in February on her Facebook page. “This has been a deeply personal journey, and I’ve taken the time I needed to process it privately. I’m grateful for the love, grace and support around me, and I appreciate kindness as I continue to move forward.”
“When I was going through that, I was actually sleeping with my Bible every single night, in the bed with me at night,” said the country star. “I was waking up every morning, opening my scripture and reading it.” (iStock)
She told Fox News Digital, “There’s a bridge [in the song ‘Keeping the Faith’] that says, ‘There’s a reason I’m still standing here stronger than I ever knew.”
“And I think after you go through something like that, your whole dream of a lifelong marriage goes away and is no longer a part of your life — it’s so heartbreaking. But after you come out of it, I truly believe that you are stronger. People are stronger from this experience.”
“My faith definitely carried me through that season, the fall of 2025. I was very vulnerable,” she said.
“I had to keep going. … My faith was the foundation of what got me through that.”
And “I believe in giving,” she added.

“I don’t really need to be important. All I need to do is do God’s work. … He gave me this voice. And we’re talking about faith, we’re talking about music, we’re talking about joy, we’re talking about friendship, and about love — or the lack thereof.
“There are so many things that we are called to talk about in life. And I do feel like I’m living God’s purpose for my life.”
