Joseph Habedank is counting down the days. He’s preparing to welcome twin daughters this fall, turning his family of two into a family of four almost overnight.

“Just wanted to give you a quick update on Lindsey and the twins,” he said in a recent interview. The news is good: “They are growing and doing really, really well,” he said, both girls are already well over three pounds, outpacing typical growth for twins. “We have a schedule for September 30th for them to arrive into this world, and we are so excited.”

But Habedank also asked fans for prayer. Lindsey has been dealing with lightheadedness, low blood pressure and anemia. “We’re very grateful that the girls are doing well,” he said, “but we want her to be healthy as well.”

It’s an update that carries both joy and worry in equal measure. “It’s such an exciting time in our lives,” Habedank said, “and I hope to see you all out on the road soon.”

It’s nice to be able to post updates like this. Texas Gospel Canada will let you know when the new arrivals make their appearance!

Lindsay and Joseph Habedank have shared joyful news as they prepare to welcome twin daughters later this year.

The couple announced they are expecting twin girls, with a due date of Oct. 22. They noted, however, that twins often arrive earlier than expected.

The Habedanks said they are both excited and grateful as they prepare for what they describe as a “crazy fall.” They also shared that twins run in Lindsay’s family, and that they had a strong feeling early on that they would be expecting two children.

That feeling was confirmed during a doctor’s visit, when two babies were seen.

While acknowledging that raising twins can be challenging, the couple said they are looking forward to what they called “the best adventure of a lifetime.”

They are also asking for prayers as they prepare for the arrival of their daughters.

Award-winning Gospel artist Joseph Habedank is set to take the stage at Nashville, Tennessee’s historic Ryman Auditorium for The Concert for Cumberland Heights: A Night of Stories and Songs, taking place Wednesday, October 29. For Habedank, the event carries deep personal meaning.

The annual concert raises funds for Cumberland Heights, a respected addiction treatment facility where Habedank received care over a decade ago. Reflecting on the upcoming performance, he called the opportunity both humbling and fulfilling.

“So this is kind of a bucket list thing for me, not just that it’s the Ryman, but that the concert takes place every single year,” Habedank shared. “Cumberland Heights is actually the treatment facility, the rehab that I went to when I got clean and sober about 13 years ago.”

Since overcoming addiction, Habedank has become an outspoken advocate for recovery and faith-based resilience, using his music to inspire others walking a similar path. His song The Basement, written about recovery meetings and personal healing, will be featured during the event.

“I’m so honoured and excited to be a part of this special night,” he said, expressing gratitude to the organization that played a pivotal role in his journey.

The concert brings together artists and storytellers dedicated to supporting the mission of Cumberland Heights, ensuring that individuals and families continue to have access to life-changing treatment and hope.

Joseph Habedank Shares Hope Through His Music and Ministry

Joseph Habedank is a singer who has openly talked about his own journey of getting better from addiction. Now, he uses his experiences to help others who are also in recovery.

One important part of his work is connecting with people in recovery at his concerts. Habedank explains, “The ministry that we get to see on a nightly basis, that we get to help addicts, alcoholics, their families. We’ve got a lady named Brenda in our office who invites local recovery groups to every concert in every town that we go to. And so almost every night we have 20 or 30 people from a local rehab, whether it be a Christian rehab or even a secular rehab sometimes. And it’s so amazing to watch how differently they worship than church people because they know what it’s like to be at rock bottom and they know what it’s like to be free”.

It’s important to him to connect with people who understand what it means to struggle and find freedom. The people from recovery backgrounds often have a deep understanding of what it is like to feel hopeless and then find a way to change their lives.

His music also reflects this message of hope and change. In his latest song “Jesus walked in (feat. Chris Blue),” the lyrics tell stories of difficult situations being turned around. For example, the song talks about a “sick girl” whose “hope was Gone” until “Jesus walk in change everything”. It also describes someone who felt like a “prisoner locked up in Chains” who thought they would “never be free” until “Jesus walk in” and “change everything”.

People struggling with addiction often feel trapped by their choices, like they are in chains. There can be moments when it feels like the story has come to an end, and there is no hope left. However, just as the song describes Jesus walking in and changing things, many people in recovery experience a turning point that brings them hope and freedom.

The lyrics emphasizes that “when he’s in the room nothing’s the same.” This idea of things changing when hope enters a situation is central to the message of recovery. Habedank’s ministry and his music both aim to show people that even in the darkest moments, change is possible. They highlight the feeling of knowing what it’s like to be at your lowest point and then experiencing the joy of becoming free.
