"If you live for people's acceptance, you will die from their rejection.” Lecrae

I don't understand how someone can grow too much in Christ to a point where they don't feel like talking about him all the time. As a matter of fact, the more you grow in him and know him in deeper levels, the more you want to share that with the world. I think if there had ever been a time we should raise the banner of JESUS high that time is now. I still love the old Lecrae.

Hopped on the Lecrae train since Gravity when I was 13. As the years went I was always surprised when people were upset with him for collaborating with nonChristians and going mainstream. I only ever interpreted that as Lecrae bringing the Gospel to the world. I think going mainstream has pulled him away from certain core values, but it doesn’t change the fact that he’s the same brother-in-Christ since Real Talk. I disagree with Lecrae in many areas, but he’s still got my love and support.

I love what you said about trying to over explain yourself then and now you’re just comfortable with who you are. Striving to get to that level of security 🙌🏽

"Be confident in who God made me to be.." love that. So true, can't make everyone happy. That can't be our focus. God needs to be our focus and "hold on to the truth.." spot on.

"People don't receive nuance, they just hear what your not saying versus what you are saying" Facts!

“ people hear what you are not saying not what you are saying.” Sheesh that was thick 🔥🔥🔥

For everyone going through a hard time here is a quick verse | “the pain that you’ve been feeling now can’t compare to the joy that is coming” - Romans 8:18. Don’t forget that God loves you sm and everything you’re going through will get better 🤍

Creezy! We met at a church you performed at in Philly several years ago when you were touring with Tedashi and Trip Lee. That was a surprise birthday gift for my daughter and she absolutely lost her mind when she found out that I was taking her to your concert. I look forward to meeting you again brother as the Lord has used your music several times in the lives of myself and my kids lives. Pivotal, critical moments in their lives bro. Even now as I think about those moments I'm getting emotional and thanking Jesus for your musical ministry. Thanking Jesus for the alternative for my kids bro. God bless you family. Until the good Lord brings us together again!

If we’re not growing and changing we not living!!! Scripture encourages this! I support you bro!✊🏾

Lecrae's favorite words "You know what I'm sayin'?" 😂

Lecrae, I want to thank you bro. I started living for Christ Jesus in 2009 after watching the video for your song, “ Praying For You”. Seeing you walk in your calling while dressed the same way we were in Detroit, MI gave me fuel to do the same. Your album “Gravity” helped me get through a rough first deployment to Afghanistan 🇦🇫 2012-2013. People are moved through relatability and transparency. This video alone embodies both. We all evolve man, and I commend you for the courage it takes to evolve in the eyes of the public while growing as a husband, father and entrepreneur. That’s not easy in the least bit Fam. Keep doing your thing bro. Praying continued success for you and your family.🙏🏾

“God’s Truth doesn’t change. Circumstances change” 🔥 the word of God never fails 🔥🔥🙏

Yea this how we all feel when we look back.

Am I the only one that remembers him being my celebrity crush? My dad is a youth pastor and his music was basically what I was allowed to listen to for my early years so it is making my heart so warm just watching this video.

Your music initially was sermons! Jesus Music! You and Trip Lee was going off in 2008!! Really want to hear more of that!

Just watching ‘Crae cringe himself is hilarious 😂

I love what Lecrae said about having the message encapsulated in the art. I can't tell you how beautiful I think that is. To be able to appreciate both at once. Glory to Jesus mahn!🙌🏼

This is one of the most beautiful Lecrae videos I've ever seen! It's so encouraging to watch him reflect on his life. It's inspiring to see what God does when we "join in on the process of being restored". I wish the best for Lecrae as he continues on this journey. His story makes me remember that God is good. 🙌🏾

I’m glad I watched this! I’m happy that you’ve grown! I’ve loved you from since I was a yute and I’ve continued to love you even through the dark times! God bless you Crae!

Therapy has changed me too, Lecrae. And thank you for sharing these with us!

Great upload Lecrae 🙏

Great video Lecrae!!! I thank God for keeping you through your journey and being an inspiration to so many.

Thanks for always being real! Love ALL your music and love that you share your faith through most of it!

I could not watch old videos of myself. Lol. Good on you for doing it

I wish my son could meet you. He's lost in this world right now, with it's demons attacking him . I am always sending him your music... and he always tells me how it hits him so hard and arrives in his box at just the right time. You're a good Man! Thank you that at 60 years old I can enjoy this art in music and get closer to what young people are facing today 💯🙏❤️

You’re so very insightful. Everyone should be reflecting on their walk.

Lecrae we love ya man!

Love you brother! It's been a fantastic decade of music with you. I really came on to you during the Gravity album release. Saw you in Silver Spring Maryland during the destination tour and in Seattle for Let the Trap Say Amen. You've contributed to my development in fundamental ways. Thanks for everything you do. Much love!

Jimmy Kimmel: Are you now a Christian rapper? Kanye West : I am a Christian everything... 1 Corinthians 10:31 So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.

7 years later he gonna look at him from then (in the future) reacting to hike now reacting to him then (in the past).

Glory to glory. Love the honesty and visible growth, you’re doing it 🤙🏼

Been following you for awhile now. All the way from South Africa... you have helped me in my faith walk, thank you. I love your authenticity, you never ever said you had it all together, so I don't know why some people expect that from you. Much love!

Your artistry is amazing! Absolutely love what you've done for Christian music, and people who love Hip Hop, but want a positive message. 😊😊

Love this brother! Needed to hear that truth that never changes!

It's funny that this video popped up because after listening to 'Restored' a few times I started thinking about how you can tell how much you've grown since ' Real Talk'; the breadth of your content, your choice of words and most notably your vulnerability. It's been strengthening and a joy to see you grow in knowing who Jesus is (and is not) and shed the nature of the old you. You've exemplified many (if not all) aspects of what it is to be sanctified and to become sanctified. Amen, bro. Keep fighting the good fight. Love you.

I've seen Lecrae mature over the years and I'm so proud of him

We love you, brother!!! We are all on the journey!

This is a good review of your older interviews. I like your perspective, then and now. Thanks

First of all I love your channel and your music second, I am a HUGE FAN I was subbed when I’m praying for you came out and third the way that you explained your thoughts were very clear and you have changed but people change and that’s how we grow as people and grow in our faith.

Lecrae don’t get confused bruh “Christian Music” is meant to GLORIFY GOD! Don’t overthink this brother

I will say, this video definitely gives me more clarity and empathy to his journey. Being completely honest, I’ve judged Lecrae pretty hard the last few years. I felt like he was chasing acceptance from main stream and masking it as taking the gospel to the lost. And it hurt because he was such a big part of helping me be bold and brave thru college. I drew courage from Seeing and hearing him declaring being unashamed. And his music today doesn’t necessarily invoke that same feeling. But none the less, I’m encouraged by this video because I can tell Lecrae is still pressing forward and I can see in his journey, his faith is strong. He’s just going thru the ups and downs we all do. His are just in front of the camera.

love this, Thanks for sharing bro ❤️

Thanks for the transparency. I think everyone who has a growing relationship with Jesus goes through this growth process, and it's hard to be around so many people that want a cookie cutter Christianity--especially when they never seem to go through any real struggle in life. Can't be hard on them tho.... I think a lot of us start off as well-meaning- religious zealots who don't know we're becoming Pharisees until God disrupts our small mindedness with complexity and pain.

Lecrae I support you so much man, just keep doing what your doing!!!👍👍🤲🤲🤲🤲🙏🙏

Inspiring! Most of those interviews I had never seen. Glad I seen that!

it was bold faith, i didnt see it as insecure bro,

This was amazing!! Please do this with more interviews Crae!

And this is why I rock wit you. Thank you for the vulnerable, authentic, mature version of yourself. Albums & music are only a portion of who you are.

Thank you Lecrae for sharing this with us it was 100% truth...

Your music was a blessing for me growing up as a youth into hip hop, especially after getting saved at the age of 14, I'd be learning those lyrics, lol. Thank you and God bless you 🤗❤

His reactions to what he was wearing tho 😂

It’s really hard to process your faith being an evangelical icon since evangelicals have not been known for much nuance. It’s very black and white, all or nothing thinking, and Lecrae, I think you are bold to deconstruct, process, and think out loud about your faith while still holding onto an audience you respect like the Evangelical church that you might no longer find yourself as closely tied to spiritually or intellectually. I heard Andy’s EPs on deconstruction. I’m going through it. It’s hard. And it’s good to challenge and question and grow, but it can also be threatening to a lot of people who don’t know how to handle it due to the lack of nuance they have. So all this to say I deeply respect you, I understand a little bit what y’all go through as a new young pastor of a conservative church in the South, and I just want to affirm your journey and encourage who you are.

Man I love your process, I’m learning how to not create an image of someone I’m not. Instead, I’m going to be myself and allow Jesus to work through me and make me whole. Learning how to be at peace exactly where I am can be really difficult when I’m comparing myself to other Christians. It’s so easy to pose as someone you’re truly not and I think Lecrae experienced this as well. As he got older, he learned to be more okay with who he is and is still being transformed by Jesus. This is super relatable and I’m super thankful you shared your story!

Keep up the good work brother . God bless you and family

Hey Lecrae, I love you brother for who you are. God bless you. 🙌

Well said brother! I too back in the day honestly was having some unrest with your not 'christian rapper' but as I heard more and more of your work and lyrics in those 1st years realized your heart and point - just clearly stated here too!! Loved hearing you last year at BME too! Keep being a great 116 man of faith and a talented/innovative rapper!! Luv U brother keep looking Up and doing His will!

Thank you for this real content.❣

I love your music and the messages you put out. I believe in therapy too, with out it I don't think I would have survived my divorce.

This was dope to watch. Thanks for this.

I appreciate the growth, Crayola. Keep at it!

I always have a lot to think about and ask and now I got more, thanks. It is a pretty good video.

One of my favorite things you ever did was No Silence with Flame. 2000. Very scriptural song that we should all keep in mind.

Glad your uploading on KZfaq Keep it up 👍

Jesus & Therapy , you know what I'm saying. 😂😂

Watched his whole journey since real talk. This was SO COOL. 🖤🔥 We need to see a movie about Lecrae. 😎💪

I discovered you when you came out with Rehab the overdose. I love your music. Your faith in God really shines through your music. You really are a man of God! You are anointed!

Thank you for your transparency!

The yellow powder was the theme of that rehab album 💿

I have seen the growth. Thank you for being transparent and sharing not only your journey of your art, but your journey with your relationship with God. People can criticize about what they would like to hear more of, but you have made consistent art and helping trailblaze almost genre that didn’t exist a few decades ago.

Thanks for this. It preached to me this morning!

Man Sunday Morning played in my head when I saw this video, I click on it and what’s the background beat? The Lord works in many ways sheesh

CHYEAH!

We can see the growth Brother 🙂

wow this gave me so much!!!Wisdom wow!!! amen brother!!

The yellow dust was dope! I understood what that meant from an “interpretation” stand point

Bro I want to send this video to some people just so they can see the facts that you've matured, but don't want to get into an argument. I'm going to take the notes I got from the Lil Naz X video and just not entertain that mess. You a blessing Crae. Thanks

The growth was dynamically consistent!

Loved this video. Can relate to your journey.

Love lecrae

That first lecrae that’s the one I remember , like just excited for Jesus . But that was the season , like a lot of people in hip hop and the streets didn’t know it could co exist . To me it was a new thing like man you can still listen to rap and serve the Lord . I miss them times

What's funny is just last night I was watching all these interviews and freestyles

I love you Lecrae, just thought you should know. God bless you.

Lecrae thanks for the most Dopest Real life Christian Rapper out there,your music turned my life around......Nothing but Love for you ma guy👍👌

I'm loving this video fr

This really helped me in my own evolution. Thank you.

So Amazing !! I love it !!!

Lecrae is really the goat man! Imagine the pressures of being the face of a genre, breaking boxes and taking the music/message to places where it's seen as alien. GIVE THE GOAT HIS FLOWERS! 🧡💐

My grandma used to watch TBN and Jan Crouch. Trust me when I say your clothes are NOT distracting! 😂

as a kid living in INDIA i use to look upto big bro Lecrae!!!!

I like the way you used to emphasise and talk Jesus Christ before

Lecrae you were the first Christian hip hop rapper that turned me into Christian hip hop. I was going through a deep depression and substance abuse issues your music helped me through some dark hours. I rept you 100% and watching you then to now I truly fell in love with your music because of the person you were before in the past. You seemed to be more confident in yourself in the older videos and being a Christian. Stay true to yourself, stay true to God I don't understand why your so embarrassed with God. PLEASE brother stay true to God because if you deny him he may deny you on judgment day and all that money and the people around you I can see it are already bringing you down if they were your friend or had your best interest they would tell you your doing the right thing touching so many hearts including mine. It hurts my heart to see you so embarrassed by God or dont like talking about him. I'm gonna pray for you... Dont let the money, fame, the music industry change you. It's no secret the Industry will turn you out so fast a Christian man with Christian beliefs they will devour you. Just like BIZZLE says in his song not for hire " next they'll have you throw a dress on rock pressons and help push the same sex laws and disrespect GOD... Heck naaa...... what do I look like trying to impress y'all homie either step off or get stepped on"........ please stop worrying what critics say about Christian rapper's if you stick with Jesus you will reap a harvest. Prayers coming at you🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Hey with growth there has to be some change. Life happened and you grew and developed despite all of it!

Not everyone is hating on you bruh. They just want you to be right with God and be bold for His Kingdom! Love

That was u then now this is the new you. U are a new creature in christ Amen keep coming with that great music

Lov ya bro!!! Blessed up!!!

Lecrae with another banger. He should create a vlog channel

THAT WAS AWESOME AND HUMBLING TO SEE.

It's not about changing, it's about growing as a person. The only problem is the music was better then it is now!!! Listen to the song "Sold Out" that dude was fire!!

Truth Doesn't Change ...Love It OG
