On March 10, our deep dive into Dolly’s spiritual roots went live. The Gospel According to Dolly traced her journey from Sevier County church choirs to the vaulted ceilings of late-’70s gospel albums that topped the charts.

Under chapel lights, Pastor Lynn Powell recalled the tremor in her voice at opening night—and how a shy country girl transformed raw faith into soul-shaking hymns. We walked past stained-glass windows, letting the echoes of Amen and hallelujah fill every corner.

Billboard called it “a moving journey through faith and melody.” It wasn’t just a story—it was a calling for those who believe music can heal the deepest wounds.
