At the start of this video, a young man named Dakota Striplin begins to sing and play guitar with the voice of an angel. A judge immediately turns around her chair and puts her hand on her heart.
\nSuddenly, another judge says, \u201cI need to see what\u2019s going on here\u201d and flips her chair.
\nAt the end of his song, one judge shares how excited she is that this young man is here. The judges are shocked that he not only sang, he was also playing.<\/p>\n
and artist.
\nDakota responds that Elvis inspired him and his grandmother used to love going to the shows and there is a running joke that he could be his grandson.
\nThe judges laugh when they see the resemblance.
\nAs Dakota begins to share his story, he says that his dad does not talk about it much. However, his grandmother used to go and help with Elvis\u2019 shows in Hawaii.
\nShe would take Dakota\u2019s dad but none of her other kids to Hawaii with her.
\nWhen Elvis passed away, his grandmother lost it in a bigger way that seemed more personal.
\nA few years ago, a DNA test proved that his grandfather is not his grandfather, so the thought is that Dakota\u2019s grandfather is Elvis.<\/p>\n
After the story, two judges stand up in hopes to be selected as his coach. In the end he selects the judge who turned for him first.
\nThen there is one more clip of Dakota singing in a knockout round.
\nSometimes we may not know where we come from, but we can always rest in our unchanging identity in Christ.
\nWhen we have accepted Jesus as our Savior, we are permanently in the family of God.<\/p>\n
