• Too Young to Have Kids? American Idol Love, 8× Platinum… and Babies?! | Gabby Barrett & Cade Foehner

  Why would Gabby Barrett get married and start a family at the height of her career? Country star Gabby Barrett (8x platinum “I Hope”) and husband Cade Foehner sit down with us to talk about the questions young couples in the spotlight get told to ask: Were we told not to have kids? Would kids ruin our careers? And how did their American Idol backstage friendship turn into a Christ-centered marriage and family of five? We hit the real stuff—labels, touring with three littles, homeschooling on a bus, reframing success around faithfulness (not charts), and how the gospel changed Gabby’s life in 2018. Plus: the behind the scenes of their Idol-era love story, getting engaged, and Cade’s upcoming country record 👀 OUR INCREDIBLE SPONSORS MAKE THIS PODCAST POSSIBLE: FUNCTION HEALTH: Function because it’s the only health platform that gives you access to the kind of data most people never see—and the insights to actually take action.

In this episode of The Jinger & Jeremy Podcast, we reflect on the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk, the devastating wave of violence across the country, and the personal trial of our dear friend Erin Bates Paine, who nearly lost her life to septic shock shortly after giving birth to her seventh child. We talk about what it means to process grief as Christians—not rushing to explanations, but pausing to weep with those who weep, to remember the reality of heaven, and to cling to God’s promises. You’ll hear us discuss: How Charlie Kirk’s legacy of courage and gospel-centered boldness points us toward Christ. The unimaginable moment of telling a child their daddy isn’t coming home. Erin Bates’ testimony of faith in the hospital and her daughter’s powerful letter reminding us that God’s promises hold true even in suffering. The hope we have in Jesus, who conquered sin, death, and the brokenness of this world. In the midst of a dark week, we want to point you to the light that never goes out—the hope of the gospel and the promise of eternity with Christ. Learn more about your ad choices.
