The Happy Hour #342: Colton Dixon

My guest for The Happy Hour #342 is Colton Dixon. Colton Dixon is a musical artist who earned his professional start on American Idol. He is currently signed with Atlantic Records, and released a self-titled EP this year. Colton lives in Nashville with his wife, Annie and they welcomed identical twin girls just a few months ago.

Fun fact: Colton is now the third American Idol contestant I’ve had on the podcast, how cool is that?! Friends, Colton really brought a good word today and I’m so excited to share it with you. In today’s episode, he talks about the hurt and bitterness he felt after being cut from American Idol, unexpectedly being dropped from his label a few years later, and the terrifying delivery scare he and Annie experienced with their girls. Colton also talks a lot about stepping into new seasons and how those difficulties really shaped him. I love when he says “Without those trials, our faith would be so watered down. Not that God is the source behind the trial, but that He will use it to build our faith.” That is so good. I’m so thankful for Colton’s vulnerability as he recalls difficult times, but chooses to trust God amidst it all. Make sure to stream his song Miracles!​
