Disney darling Joshua Bassett's fans are concerned for him but probably not for the reasons you think.

The High School Musical: The Musical: The Series star has been through a lot over the last couple of years including a breakup from Olivia Rodrigo who released the 2021 album Sour, which is allegedly mostly about Bassett.

He suffered stress-induced heart failure just after the release of his own 2021 song "Lie Lie Lie," went through a tough break up with Sabrina Carpenter and publicly came out in an interview whilst complimenting Harry Styles.

With everything that has gone on in his life recently, his fans are actually worried because of his recent influx of religious posts on social media.

Bassett first tweeted the message:

"Jesus Christ is the only way."
"His death and resurrection are historically documented."
"Turn away from hate, seek forgiveness and come home to him."

The tweet left fans wondering, but Bassett didn't follow up.

Just this weekend, however, Bassett shared some insight on his Instagram story.

He shared that he prayed for a sign - for someone to touch his back - and just moments later two people approached him, put their hands on him and prayed.

In the next story, Bassett revealed:

"A few months ago I asked God to 'send me a sign when I write the truth.'
"I typed, 'Jesus is the way.' Nothing happened."
"Then I added, 'Jesus is the *only* way,' and the light turned on my living room."

While some fans applauded Bassett on his new-found faith, most fans expressed their concerns on social media, especially given his previous takes on organized religion and the fact that his parents' extreme beliefs resulted in their strained relationship.









In a later story, Bassett revealed that he "first-hand encountered Jesus twice" and can't wait to elaborate.

He did, however, assure concerned fans that he is fine.

"For those concerned about me, be sure of this: I'm better than I have ever been."

Bassett finished:

"The peace I feel is far beyond what I though possible."

AOC Has Mic Drop Response To MAGA Republicans Who Try To Mock 'Democratic Priorities'

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez issued a powerful rebuke against President Donald Trump and the MAGA movement, pointing out why mocking things like affordable housing and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as "Democrat priorities" ultimately hurts Republicans.

Ocasio-Cortez, speaking during a CNN town hall alongside Vermont Independent Senator Bernie Sanders, accused Republicans of refusing to work to end the government shutdown, stressing that the country’s health care system could collapse if Republicans refuse to meet Democrats’ demands in negotiations.

GOP Rep. Blames Coordinated 'Ruse' After Swastika Image Is Seen Displayed In His Office

Ohio Republican Representative Dave Taylor demanded an investigation after a swastika image was found on display in his Washington, D.C., office, and blamed it on a "targeted" "ruse."

Politico obtained a photo from a virtual meeting showing a distorted image of the American flag—its red and white lines altered into the shape of a swastika— pinned to what appears to be a cubicle wall behind Angelo Elia, a staffer for Taylor. Beside it hung a pocket Constitution and a congressional calendar. Elia’s involvement in the incident, if any, remains unclear.
