In an interview with CP, five-time Grammy nominee Chloe Bailey, who stars in the new gospel music film "Praise This," discussed how starring in the role allowed her to merge her love of God and music.

The film sees Bailey star as Sam, an ambitious and talented musical artist in the making who finds herself, against her will, forced to join her cousin's struggling church choir in Atlanta. "Praise This," which is currently available on Peacock, is not explicitly faith-based, but is infused with musical numbers that see popular R&B and rap songs turned into gospel tunes. Learn more.

During an appearance on "The Drew Barrymore Show," actor and outspoken Christian Chris Pratt opened up about meeting his wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger, at church and how she helped "save" him amid his brokenness. "I was in the front row of church—which is like, you kind of don’t want to be like, 'Woah, who's that?' at church. You know what I mean?" Pratt explained.
