Tommy Wallen, Morgan Wallen’s Dad, Launches Faith-Based Show on SiriusXM


Tommy Wallen, Morgan Wallen’s dad, has launched a new faith-based show on SiriusXM’s Morgan Wallen Radio (Ch. 64). The weekly series, “Tommy’s Sunday Seven,” will feature seven-minute devotionals and debuted yesterday (June 21).

“Each week, our time will be spent looking into the Bible,” he shares. “I’m not going to try to force what determines how I live on you. I just want to share with you what brought me out of a life of hopelessness because of alcoholism and drug addiction. We will approach this as if none of us have any knowledge of the Bible, so we can begin this journey together.”
