Coffey Anderson has opened up about his faith and how it is helping him cope with his wife's cancer battle. In an interview with Fox News, the country music star explained that he and his wife Priscilla, who was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer in 2018, use the power of prayer to find strength and encouragement. It has not let them down.
"We do believe in praying and we do believe in having moments and we do believe in God. And for us, [faith] is such a part of who we are and we don't judge anybody," Coffey said. "We lean on our faith for strength, for encouragement."
The musician explained that, while prayer may not be for everybody, it could help some.
"And if we're going to talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly," he added, "Let's also talk about the beautiful. Let's also talk about the funny. Let's talk about the goofy. Let's just talk about the spiritual side, because there are different sides to all of us."
During his interview, Coffey also said he hoped the couple's new reality TV show, "Country Ever After," could show viewers that cancer could be beaten through the support of friends and family.
"Everyone is going to have their [down] moments and one thing about our family that we cheer for each other," he said. "We want other people to have the Team Anderson mentality of we're gonna fight for each other and not with each other. I think that that makes such a difference when you're fighting a monster like cancer."
In a recent interview with People, Coffey said "Country Ever After" would bring inspiration and hope to families.
"We know that bad things do happen to good people every day, but how one faces it makes all the difference," he said. "We, as a family, fight a major health challenge together and this shows our ups and downs. We hope our story will touch another family and help them with what they are going through."
