(ChurchLeaders) Todd Tilghman, a pastor in Meridian, Mississippi and a father of eight, is one step closer to winning the popular singing competition and television show “The Voice.” On Tuesday night, Tilghman was the first to be spared from elimination as he advanced to one of the top nine spots. He will go on to compete for a spot in the show’s finals.
Tilghman, whose voice was compared to the raspy style of Chris Stapleton and Kenny Rogers by show judge Kelly Clarkson, performed Peter Cetera’s “Glory of Love” from what looks like the sanctuary of the church he leads in Mississippi.
