Morgan Wallen put his Christian faith on display during a recent concert, taking the stage with a Bible verse written across a cast on his leg.
In videos and photos shared on social media, the 33-year-old country star wore a black cast featuring the Scripture reference “Joshua 2:21” in white writing during his show at Clemson University’s Memorial Stadium in Clemson, South Carolina on Saturday.
Joshua 2:21 (KJV) reads, “And she said, According unto your words, so be it. And she sent them away, and they departed: and she bound the scarlet cord in the window.”

The verse is part of the Old Testament story of Rahab, a woman who hid two Israelite spies before the fall of Jericho. After the spies promised to spare her family, Rahab immediately tied a scarlet cord in her window as a sign of their covenant.

According to Bible Hub’s commentary on the verse, the scarlet cord has long been understood in Christian tradition as a symbol of faith, redemption and God’s protection. It is also widely interpreted as foreshadowing Christ’s redemptive sacrifice because it marked Rahab’s household for deliverance during Jericho’s destruction.
Wallen has previously spoken publicly about his Christian faith. The Grammy Award nominee, who is the son of Southern Baptist pastor Tommy Wallen and elementary school teacher Lesli Wallen, grew up singing in church before launching his music career.”
During an April 2025 Spotify interview video ahead of the release of his collaboration with Post Malone, “I Ain’t Comin’ Back,” Wallen explained that he intentionally includes biblical themes in his music.

“We don’t put the Ten Commandments in school anymore. We just neglect everything and people act like the Ten Commandments is something so terrible. I mean, it’s a way to live. I think we all could agree on what they say.”
He continued: “I believe in God. I believe that He’s real and I believe He has control over a lot of things and I think throughout history there has been a lot of countries that have turned their back on Him and the result is not great. Hopefully, we can get something figured out.”
