Mandisa, the Grammy-winning Christian singer and former “American Idol” star, died at 47. Her representative confirmed she was found dead in her Nashville home on Thursday. The cause of death is unknown, and her family and friends ask for prayers during this difficult time.

The Christian radio network K-Love celebrated Mandisa, praising her devotion to Jesus and her openness about her struggles. K-Love described her kindness, smile, and powerful voice, stating she is now with the God she sang about.
