Follow this topic Follow this author Jon Reddick’s New No. 1 Hit Born from Wife’s Cancer Battle: ‘We’re Pointing People to God’ Jon Reddick’s latest No. 1 hit wasn’t born in a songwriting session or dreamed up in a recording studio — it emerged from a real-life battle as his wife fought cancer and he clung to the promises of God, just as the song describes. That song, “Holding On (Praise God),” is No. 1 across four Christian radio charts — including Billboard and Mediabase —and is a deeply personal anthem about facing life’s battles through prayer and trusting that God is holding on to us even when life seems uncertain. Reddick’s wife, Rebecca, was diagnosed with early-onset colon cancer, launching the couple into a frightening season of uncertainty. She subsequently underwent successful surgery, and a pathology report cleared her of cancer. At the time, another song by Reddick, “No Fear,” was climbing the charts and eventually hit No. 1. “We’re Pointing People to God”: Jon Reddick’s No. 1 Hit Forged in Wife’s Cancer Battle
