In a refreshing turn for the holiday season, pop star Gwen Stefani has teamed up with the Christian prayer app Hallow for its Pray25 Prayer Challenge. The initiative encourages believers worldwide to focus on prayer and reflection during Advent, the season leading up to Christmas, celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ.

Stefani, known for her chart-topping hits and vibrant style, has never shied away from her Catholic faith, and her latest project showcases the depth of her devotion. In a festive advertisement, Stefani, dressed in holiday colors while decorating a Christmas tree, spoke warmly about the meaning of Advent.

“This season has always been my favorite time of the year,” she shared. “It’s a season that we get to celebrate the birth of our Lord. This year, I’m excited to share that I’ve partnered with this amazing prayer, meditation, and music app called Hallow on their twenty-five-day prayer challenge leading up to Christmas called Advent.”

Stefani’s invitation to join her in prayer was heartfelt and inspiring. “Pray25: join me and millions of other Christians around the world as we celebrate together the truth that God so loved the world that He gave us His only Son,” she urged viewers. “Download Hallow and join me in praying every day. God bless the season as always.”

For Stefani, faith has been a cornerstone of her personal and professional life. She has spoken candidly about how prayer has been her anchor. “The only way that I’ve gotten this far is with my spiritual faith and being able to take time out to pray,” she has said. “You see the miracles, and that’s inspiration and fuel to keep it going.”

Her faith has not only sustained her but also deeply influenced her husband, country music star Blake Shelton. Shelton credits Stefani with helping him grow closer to God. “I believe in God now more than I ever have in my life,” Shelton said in a past interview. “The biggest part of that is just how [Gwen] came into my life and now our relationship. It’s just too weird. If you take God out of it, it doesn’t make sense. If you put God into it, everything that’s happened with us makes sense.”

Stefani’s collaboration with Hallow isn’t the first time a celebrity has embraced the app. Actor Mark Wahlberg, another outspoken Christian, has praised Hallow for its impact, noting its popularity in a world hungry for spiritual connection. “It’s the largest Christian app in the world,” Wahlberg said, highlighting its surge to the top of Apple’s free apps, even outranking platforms like TikTok and Spotify.

“They’re thirsty and hungry for comfort, guidance, and also companionship with one another,” Wahlberg explained. “You can’t really have spirituality without religion… It all goes hand-in-hand. We all need to encourage and support each other.”

Stefani’s bold embrace of faith and prayer during the holiday season reminds us of the true meaning of Christmas—a celebration of God’s love for humanity. Her partnership with Hallow is not just a message of hope but a call to deepen our faith during this sacred time.
