Contemporary Christian recording artist Moriah Peters auditioned for “American Idol” in 2010 with the hopes of entering the competitive music industry. After facing scrutiny and criticism about her faith, Peters was nixed from the competition by the judges who suggested that she go experience life and “kiss a boy” before considering a music career.
Peters’ testimony recently debuted on an “I Am Second” video, where she shared her struggles with remaining bold about her Christian beliefs while trying to pursue a career in the entertainment industry.
