Jelly Roll shared his testimony on the Grammys stage, and just going by some data offered up by Google Trends, it looks like the masses were interested in what he had to say about Jesus. In case you missed it, the rapper-turned-country-artist (whose real name is Jason DeFord) cleaned up at the 2026 Grammy Awards. Jelly Roll won three Grammys, with the biggest being the award for “Best Contemporary Country Music Album” for his Beautifully Broken project. The country music artist could barely believe it when his name was called by presenters Jeff Goldblum and Lainey Wilson. And as soon as he was named the winner, I knew the Grammys – and the millions watching at home – were in for a real treat once Jelly Roll made it up to the microphone. You see, the “Son of a Sinner” singer has a knack for delivering energetic, bring-the-house-down acceptance speeches. Pretty much anytime he wins an award, it’s must-see TV. That was certainly the case this time around, as Jelly Roll looked to the heavens and started thanking Jesus with the Grammy in his hand: “First of all, Jesus I hear you and I am listening Lord. I am listening Lord. Second of all, I want to thank my beautiful wife. I would have never changed my life without you. I would have ended up dead or in jail or I would have killed myself if it wasn’t for you and Jesus. I thank you for that.” Jelly Roll went on to thank his record label, and shouted out country radio, which he’s had much success with in his still rising country music career. Once he got all of that out of the way though, Jelly Roll shifted into evangelist mode and basically told the story of his life, invited others to follow Christ, and proclaimed that the Lord doesn’t belong to one political party over the other: “There was a time in my life y’all that I was broken. That’s why I wrote this album. I didn’t think I had a chance y’all. There were times where I thought the darkest things and thought I was a horrible human. There was a moment in my life where all I had was a (pocket) Bible this big and a radio the same size in a six-by-eight-foot cell. I believed that those two things could change my life. I believed that music had the power to change my life, and God had the power to change my life. I want to tell you all right now that Jesus is for everybody. Jesus is not owned by one political party. Jesus is not owned by one music label. Jesus is Jesus and anybody can have a relationship with him. I love you Lord.” “Jesus is Jesus and anybody can have a relationship with him.”@JellyRoll615 #Grammy pic.twitter.com/pIwGKP8FKL — Whiskey Riff (@WhiskeyRiff) February 2, 2026 It was a beautiful message, and regardless of how you feel about Jelly Roll winning the “Best Contemporary Country Album” award, it was great to see a guy with his story (quite literally a living testimony to the power of God) getting up on stage and praising the Lord for everything that He’s blessed him with. The best part about it? It looks like his speech, and the conversations that he sparked by it, led some people to seek out Jesus Christ. Or at the very least, caused some of those watching the Grammys to ask some questions. And where do people go when they have questions in the modern day? Google, of course! According to Google Trends, the search engine has seen an increase in “Jesus” and Jesus-related searches in the past week in the United States: Jesus – 20% increase Bible – 20% increase God – 10% increase Jesus Christ – 10% increase Who is Jesus? – 20% increase To be clear, all of those searches can’t be directly attributed to Jelly Roll’s speech. Other things happening in the world could have contributed to those search increases. However, you can’t tell me that Jelly Roll’s speech didn’t have some kind of positive impact on those online search trends (there even appears to be a peak in searches the following day after the Grammys). I guarantee you some people out there listened to the artist’s testimony and decided to look into Jesus for themselves. That’s probably more valuable to Jelly Roll than any trophy or award he could ever receive.The post Online Searches For “Jesus” & “God” Spike Following Jelly Roll’s Powerful Grammy Acceptance Speech first appeared on Whiskey Riff.
