Between songs, the singer d addressed the crowd, explaining, “In our life we are going through a lot. That’s kinda the deal in life.” She added, “For some people it doesn’t seem to be even easier just by the way they look, or want to be called, or what they wanna be and that’s not right, that’s not fair.”

Sierra Ferrell Urges Fans To “Stick To Praying”
With Ferrell traveling all over the country, the singer witnessed firsthand the struggles people were going through. And wanting them to be seen, she continued, “We are looking for answers and a lot of the time we don’t get any… so we gotta stick to praying. We gotta pray because that falls in the lines of us being magical yet again.”
Keeping her faith close to her heart, Ferrell declared, “I love God and I love Jesus, but I don’t like what people do in the name of God and I don’t like what people do in the name of Jesus.”
As the crowd erupted into cheers, Ferrell quickly got back to performing as she started to play “Lighthouse.” But for fans, they couldn’t get over the heartfelt message as comments included, “She is Magic. I respect her so hard.” Another person added, “God, I love her sooo much.”
While there to perform, Sierra Ferrell reminded fans that sometimes the greatest gift an artist can give is hope.
