Sallee highlighted the group’s intentional commitment to “spreading God’s love.”
He emphasized the importance of trusting the Holy Spirit, acknowledging one’s purpose, and relying on fellow believers.
The singer added, “We talk about this all the time: walk in your purpose, walk in what God has called you to do, … lean on iron sharpening iron, lean on brothers and sisters, and really trust in God because His record is perfect. He’s been so good in my life.”
Pentatonix is currently on “The Most Wonderful Tour Of The Year,” featuring their Christmas hits. They are also scheduled to perform at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on Nov. 23.
