On today's show, we chat with Canaan Hill!

At just 17 years old, Canaan James Hill captured hearts across the nation on American Idol, earning the rare platinum ticket from Lionel Richie himself. Now, this rising gospel artist is stepping into a powerful new season with the release of his brand-new single, “More Than a Church Boy.”Canaan shares his story of faith, family, and finding his voice, as well as what it was like to hear Lionel Richie call his audition “something so spectacular” and Luke Bryan joke, “When you sing at church, do people just run to the baptism pit?” Join the Christian Music Guys as we talk about his journey from Idol to inspiring others through gospel music — and what’s next for this young powerhouse in faith and song.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
