“I just want people to know, hey, just come to Jesus. If you feel that need, I’m not going to shove you, but I’m going to give you a nudge and I hope that you see it.” — Baylee Littrell When Baylee Littrell first stepped onto the American Idol stage, millions watching may have only known him as “the son of Brian Littrell from the Backstreet Boys.” But after his emotional performance of his original song “Hey Jesus,” it became clear that Baylee was carving a path that had little to do with his famous last name — and everything to do with his faith, vulnerability, and a calling that…
