Country musician Coffey Anderson credits God for faithfully guiding him through life’s highs and lows as he turns to Him for life and musical inspiration. Anderson told the “Higher Ground With Billy Hallowell” podcast, “When I’m writing these songs, when I’m looking at what our culture needs. I’m asking the Holy Spirit to lead me. I’m asking for songs that are going to give people opportunities to make memories.”

The singer explicitly discussed the importance of boundaries in life, sharing his belief that faith gives humans essential liberties and protections. Anderson said, “Boundaries give you freedom. And a lot of times, in a world where I can do what I want, be what I want, say what I want, pick who I want to be, it’s not the truth. There’s been guidelines and laws and commandments set up so we can live in freedom by having God.”

The “Country Ever After” star said his faith has afforded him a chance to speak through his platform about the power God has to guide and sustain humans’ lives, saying, “My faith has always given me a chance, and this platform has given me a chance … to talk about the goodness of God. God has been so good to me.”

Despite losing his best friend to teen suicide years ago, his mom passing away at an early age, and navigating his wife Criscilla’s stage IV colon cancer battle, the country star believes the Lord has never abandoned him, even amid those struggles. Anderson said, “God has been there. Sometimes we forget about the goodness of God, so my music is a reflection of what I’ve been through.”

As for Criscilla, he said she continues to battle nodules that transferred from her colon to her lungs. She’s not “out of the woods” and courageously seeks healing. Anderson also addressed starring in the recent film “God’s Country Song” on Pure Flix and heralded the importance of fatherhood, a topic celebrated in the movie.

He said, “There’s nothing toxic about being masculine. There’s nothing toxic about being a good daddy.” The singer continued, “Toxic people come in all forms and fashions. Don’t tell me my masculinity is toxic when it’s proven that a good dad minimizes the opportunity of people going to prison. A dad is needed.”
