The Hidden Lives of Christian Superstars | Nashville News
Description
A new documentary at the Nashville Film Festival uncovers the hidden struggles of Christian pop stars who were forced to hide their true selves for fame and fortune. Focusing on Michael Passons, a once-celebrated member of Avalon, it reveals how his sexuality made him a liability in an industry built on strict moral codes — even as he helped create beloved worship anthems. After being blacklisted and subjected to conversion therapy, Passons fought back by re-recording his hit “Testify to Love” with queer allies, proving that faith and authenticity can coexist — and that music can still move hearts, no matter the label.
