Country singer, Tyler Hubbard, is sharing why his most recent musical project is special for him.
During a recent interview with Fox News Digital, the 39-year-old musician spoke about the upcoming season of "The Chosen" and his corresponding album, as well as how the television show brought the Bible alive for his children and has started a "lot of conversations about Jesus and about all the different stories of his life."
"We talk through all these stories, we talk through all their questions, but then it doesn't go in one ear and out the other," he said. "It really kind of sticks. It could be two years down the road, we'll be reading a Bible story and they'll already know it. They're kind of teaching us or teaching their friends at that point."
He called the idea that the show helps his kids understand the Bible better "a testimony to how well the show is produced and how accurate" the stories it is telling are, saying it "is really special" to reference them in the Bible and then "reliving it with the kids."

Hubbard shared that he and his family watch the show together as a tradition, noting that "it's really opened up our kids' eyes to the gospel and to Jesus and how he lived." When the chance to write a song for the show came up, Hubbard admits he "was excited about the opportunity."

"It was just one of those things where a buddy of mine said, 'Hey, I've got the opportunity to letting us write a song for 'The Chosen' and if they like it, they might use it for something,' And I thought, 'Well, that'd be really cool.' Just something a little different for me," he said.
He explained that growing up he got into music by "leading worship in church," so "getting to write a faith-based song, a song that has some meat on the bone" and a deeper meaning, "and some heart and some truth behind it was really cool."
"So we had a great day and ended up that 'The Chosen' team really liked the song, and it turned into something special and something I'm proud of and excited to be a part of," he added.

The song, "All I Need Is You," is the first single from the new album inspired by the show and will be featured on the soundtrack of its upcoming sixth season. It dropped on Aug. 7. The unnamed album, from 5&2 Studios and Capitol Christian Music Group, is set to debut in the fall.
He also spoke with Fox News Digital about a unique injury he had while on a recent fishing trip with his family.

"I was just fishing one morning, and I was on a river bank and I got caught in a bush with my back cast and I went to cast it and it just, I had a treble hook just stick me pretty hard right in the back of the head. I ended up, I couldn't get it out myself," he shared.

After trying and failing to get it out himself, he "asked for some help from my wife," who then "spent about a half an hour dealing with it." During that time, his son took his phone and began filming the removal process.

He shared the video of his wife, Hayley, hard at work trying to get the fishhook unstuck on Instagram, captioning the post, "Breakfast had to wait…"
"We were way out, kind of in the middle of nowhere," he said about why they didn't go to the ER. "And we did have some people be like, you should probably go, maybe get that checked out, or maybe have someone else take it out. But I was pretty determined. I was like, 'Baby, you got to get this hook out of here, cause I don't want to leave this place and I don't want to mess up this day.' So anyway, she did a good job."
His Instagram followers shared they had also gone through similar experiences. (Tyler Hubbard Instagram)
In the background of the video, viewers can hear the couple's children asking various questions out of concern. One asks, "Is it bleeding mom?" with Tyler telling him, "Probably not bleeding a lot, but it might be a little."
They then asked him if it hurts a lot, with another telling him, "Dad, just don't think about it. Mom is just going to pull it right away."
