Jennifer Hudson recently welcomed 5-year-old \u201cpreacher\u201d Luke Tillman back to her show to share some scripture with the audience. During an episode of \u201cThe Jennifer Hudson Show,\u201d Hudson said, \u201cI hear you got a new scripture for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tillman replied, \u201cWell, in the Bible, it starts with Genesis. It says, \u2018In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.\u2019 Well, verse 2 says, \u2018The earth was formless and empty, and God said let there be light, and there was light.\u2019 And let me tell you something, right there, that light was good!\u201d This wasn\u2019t the first time Tillman, who is the son of a pastor, has appeared on Hudson\u2019s show.<\/p>\n

He went viral with a video of him \u201cbaptizing\u201d one of his Paw Patrol toys. Tillman said to Hudson, \u201cYou want to know what I\u2019m going to be when I grow up. I\u2019m gonna be a pastor and a Christian.\u201d Hudson asked his father, Ezra Tillman, how he felt about his son\u2019s desire to become a pastor. He said, \u201cIt\u2019s a blessing. You know the pressure is always on PK\u2019s (pastor\u2019s kids) and that whole development. For him to decide to want to do it and authentically do it, it\u2019s a blessing.\u201d<\/p>\n
