Emotional Jelly Roll Preaches About Jesus on Netflix’s ‘Star Search’ After Contestant Sings ‘Hard Fought Hallelujah’

Jelly Roll told Bailey that “God is looking at this right now. This is God brother. This is a God moment to show what God has done. He is a Redeemer. He is for everybody. Jesus is for everybody. He doesn’t hate anybody. He loves everybody, and that’s what he stands for.”
