Colton Dixon is getting candid about what’s shaped him lately. The 35-year-old Christian singer and American Idol alum told CBN News that Charlie Kirk’s assassination and the COVID-19 restrictions pushed him to dig deeper into what he believes and why. He says he’s more steadfast now, and he can actually explain the reasoning behind his faith instead of just repeating what he grew up hearing.
That reflection turned into new music.“Bones”comes straight from Ezekiel 37, the vision of the valley of dry bones, and it reframes death through a biblical lens. The music video was shot at night in a graveyard, leaning into the imagery head-on. Dixon summed up his message simply: death is not the final word, the cross is.
He also credited his wife, Annie, for the example she sets, saying her spiritual authority made him examine his own walk. Bottom line: Dixon says he wants to move from talking about faith to living it out. Have you ever had a moment that forced you to figure out why you believe what you believe?
