His wife, Annie, gave birth to Ava Dior and Athens Elizabeth in 2020, and the girls turned three last August. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe&#8217;re heirs to the throne, and He loves us unconditionally. I love my kids unconditionally,\u201d Dixon told ChristianHeadlines.com. \u201cJust having kids has ignited that part of my relationship with the Lord that I didn&#8217;t have before. And it&#8217;s just been so cool to even view myself in that way, and even cut myself some slack. As I view my kids &#8212; God views me that way. \u2026 There&#8217;s no shame, there&#8217;s no condemnation. We still need to run to Him. And it&#8217;s not a free pass. But there&#8217;s so much freedom in that.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>The American Idol alum and <em>Build a Boat<\/em> singer has been busy the past year, not only in his music career but also on the set of a new television show, Great American Family\/Great American Pure Flix\u2019s <em>County Rescue<\/em>, in which he makes a guest appearance. The show follows a group of EMTs who are in training and competing for a slot. He previously appeared in another series, <em>Live + Local<\/em>, on Great American Family Pure Flix. \u00a0\u201cWho knows &#8212; maybe this opens a whole new world for me,\u201d he said while laughing in reference to his acting gigs.<\/p>\n<p>His daughters, he said, have an innate ability to absorb knowledge effortlessly. \u201cSo whatever you&#8217;re putting in front of them, they&#8217;re going to know it,\u201d he said. That innate ability among children, he said, places a unique responsibility on parents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet&#8217;s be intentional about what we&#8217;re putting in so [that] it&#8217;s not all princesses &#8212; although we love that, too,\u201d he said. \u201cThey can quote Scripture. My wife will be like, \u2018I can&#8217;t do,\u2019 and they&#8217;ll just do, \u2018all things through Christ who gives me strength.\u2019 That is just the most mind-blowing thing to me. And it&#8217;s my favorite thing.\u201d His daughters, he added, make him want to be a better person and father. \u00a0\u201cThey make me want to be the best version of me that I can be,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Dixon is currently on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coltondixon.com\/\">Love and Light Tour<\/a> with Jordan Feliz.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>Photo credit: \u00a9Colton Dixon<\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><em>Michael Foust has covered the intersection of faith and news for 20 years.
