Sometimes, all it takes is a voice and a prayer to shake the internet.
Breanna Nix, the breakout American Idol finalist who’s rapidly becoming a force in contemporary Christian music, has once again captivated fans — this time from the heart of her own home. In response to a fan request, Nix and her husband delivered an intimate, unplugged version of “My God Can” that felt more like worship than performance.
A Church Moment at Home
There were no stage lights. No backup tracks. Just a couch, a softly lit living room, and a woman singing like heaven was listening.
With eyes closed and heart wide open, Breanna’s voice soared with conviction — full of grace, grit, and the kind of faith that can’t be faked. The stripped-down video has quickly gone viral, with fans calling it “better than anything on radio” and “proof that the Spirit moves where it wants.”
“Breanna doesn’t just sing the song—she becomes the song,” one commenter wrote. “This is what worship is supposed to feel like.”
From Idol Stage to Worship Spaces Around the World
Since placing third on American Idol Season 23, Breanna Nix’s star has only continued to rise. But more importantly, she’s stayed grounded in what matters most: faith, family, and purpose.
In a full-circle moment, she recently collaborated with Brandon Lake—the very artist who surprised her via FaceTime during Hollywood Week. Their emotional duet, “Daddy’s DNA,” debuted during the Idol finale and now appears on Lake’s King of Hearts (Deluxe) album, which also features powerhouse artists like Gabby Barrett.
“I’ve dreamed about something like this since I was a little girl,” Nix shared on Instagram. “Brandon didn’t just invite me to sing—he believed in me. I’ll never forget that.”
Breanna Nix Is Just Getting Started
Nix’s debut single “Higher” recently soared to #1 on the Christian Digital Song Sales chart, even surpassing Lake’s own “Hard Fought Hallelujah.” But she’s not chasing numbers—she’s chasing purpose.
“This is about God’s timing, not mine,” she wrote in a recent post. “I’m just here to sing what He puts on my heart.”
She’s already working on new music, blending country roots with contemporary worship to create a sound uniquely her own. And with a growing fanbase, a devoted family, and a message of hope, it’s clear she’s not just singing songs — she’s leading people somewhere deep
