Country singer Ella Langley is not afraid to share her Christian faith. She recently spoke to a concert crowd about her faith journey over the past year.

“You know, it feels like my relationship with Christ has changed over the last 365 days,” she said during a break between performing songs. “A little more than that. I went [from] every show of my life without even mentioning His name to not being able to shut up about it.”

Langley continued, “And I’ve done things in my life that make me feel not worthy of this song [“Speaking Terms,” a song about her faith]. But I’ll tell one thing: who makes me feel worthy is Him. I’m always worthy. He’s gonna meet me where I’m at, no matter where I’m at.”

“Speaking Terms,” a track on her 2026 album Dandelion, was written by Joybeth Taylor and Helene Cronin, but Langley clearly relates to its story of a less-than-satisfactory relationship with God.

“I carry on this one way conversation // I’m listening but You don’t say a word // If Your answer’s in the silence, I’ll be patient // But it’s hard to know my prayers are being heard,” Langley sings. “I’m waiting on a whisper, just something to confirm that // You and me are still on speaking terms.”

Langley initially shared her faith journey in an Easter social media post, writing, “Even though I’ve been a believer in Christ my whole life, my relationship with Him has changed drastically over the last year. I started to have ‘faith.’ I started to view the days we have been given as a gift instead of a chore. I am so grateful for a God who leads with love and compassion. Thank you Jesus for giving me a way to spend eternity with you.”

The country singer has been using her platform to share her faith; most notably, at this year’s Country Music Awards.

“I grew up in a Southern Baptist church, and we started off every sermon by saying, ‘God is good. And all the time, God is good.’ God has been nothing but good to me. Nothing but good to me,” she explained while onstage. “And every time I thought, ‘Why? Why this? Why them? Why not me? Why didn’t this work out? This job that I wanted, this show that I wanted. This person that I wanted. Why didn’t that work out for me?’ And I spent so long fighting that. I think I spend every day trying not to fight that still…Hindsight is 20/20. And God has a plan.”

Langley is using her newfound fame to share God’s love — and her own faith journey — with audiences around the country.
