A Disney Channel star gave a powerful speech after winning an award at the 2023 Kids’ Choice Awards.
While accepting the award for “Favorite Male TV Star” for a kid’s show, Joshua Bassett encouraged the children to embrace Jesus Christ.
“I’d like to thank my lovely supporters,” Basset said while collecting his award.
“I’d love to thank the cast and crew of High School Musical, the series, and I’d love to thank my savior Jesus Christ.
“I want to say something,” he continued.
“There are a lot of people here who are burdened, brokenhearted, and have been beaten down by life.
“I’m here to tell you — for those of you who’ve lost hope, there’s a very real God who loves you more than you will ever possibly know.
“His promise is peace and my testimony is my healing.
“Remember: forgive quickly, love freely, and walk courageously.
“Love always wins in the end.”
