Joshua Bassett is sharing his faith journey with the world. In a video posted to his social media accounts on Feb. 13, the 22-year-old singer-songwriter declared Jesus Christ as his “lord and savior” during a church service at Bethel Church in Redding, California.

In the video, the High School Musical: The Musical: The Series star recounts his spiritual journey, which he describes as a pursuit of truth that ultimately led him to addiction, depression and other struggles.
“Long story short, I grew up Christian and I ran the other way, as far as I could go, in pursuit of the ‘truth,'” Bassett explained during his baptism. “That only ended in addiction, depression, suicidal ideation, eating disorders, etc. No other teacher gave me anywhere near the peace that Jesus Christ did.”
The audience erupted in applause as Bassett made his declaration of faith.

Bassett has been openly sharing his faith with his social media followers for several weeks, which was actually causing some of them to wonder if he was okay because of the abrupt departure from his normal postings.
Jesus Christ is the only way.
His death and resurrection are historically documented.
