Crystal Hayslett Explains Her Christian DATING Dilemma to Lecrae

[@LecraeOfficial]

What's the worst dating experience you've ever had? 👀🫠

Someone falling asleep at the movies during our date. Another incident happened where a man didn’t tell me he was in a wheelchair. I wouldn’t have minded if he was honest.

[@shelbyspellman3046]

I had a man pursue me endlessly and as soon as I said yes, he had a breakdown saying he still was soul-tied to his ex . I did so much self work to release that wall , just to be rejected … but what they say ? God’s rejections is His protection

[@StarGoddess-j4w]

I came here after watching Crystal Renee on B. Simone’s podcast and my thoughts are her sharing a piece of her story to Lecrae’s audience is a true blessing. The realness really blessed me which is why I am drawn to Sarah Jake’s Robert, Lecrae, Crystal Renee and the cast on Sista’s. I haven’t read the comments yet, so I don’t know what was said. But, I pray the voices of us who are in the business of lifting one’s spirit up rings louder than the others.

Without holiness, no man will see the Lord. We have grace, but we can take the grace of God and use it for lasciviousness.

[@Kingdomcome_podcast]

I mean this in full love, I’ve been rocking with you since After the Music Stops (and will still). But we can’t compromise our values, and try to normalize it for Christians. Talking about sex out of marriage, cursing and other worldly acts in the same breath as talking about living for the Lord just doesn’t work. Fresh water and salt water can’t flow from the same spring. Let’s not promote sin, but rather promote holiness.

[@FreeIndeed]

Lecrae, please receive this in love, as I truly come in peace. When you have a platform of this magnitude and you are professing Christ, you have to be very careful. The Bible tells us that it is better to tie a millstone around our necks and cast ourselves into the sea than to create a stumbling block for babes in Christ. Matt 9:42. I say this because as a more seasoned believer, I believe this specific episode will cause many to stumble. There is discussion of cussing, drinking, and cohabitating outside of marriage. The Bible tells us to abstain from corrupt communications (Ephesians 4:29) and to abstain from even the appearance of evil (1 Thessalonians 5:22). I am not saying that it is sin to have a glass of wine, but Paul teaches us to be careful not to cause others to stumble. Romans 14:13. Many will see this episode, including those who struggle with drinking who should not be drinking and those who are fornicating, and think it is ok to keep doing these things. Where you both are in your sanctification process is between you and God, but when you profess Christ on a public platform and choose to speak on biblical topics, you are held accountable if you cause others to stumble. As a sister in Christ, I urge you in godly love to examine your heart and repent for the unbiblical teaching and conversation in this video. I would love to see you set fully on fire for God with no compromising the Word. We know it’s in you brother, but this is not it.

[@unathithonga4366]

I don't usually comment on people's posts and try to point out errors from people but this is very much misleading. I love and appreciate yall following Christ and totally appreciate the authenticity, it's commendable. But the part where the lady speaks about "where in the bible does it say we shouldn't cuss"? Girl, everywhere. Cussing is unwholesome talk, doesn't build up or edify anyone. It's perverse... I also was once a cusser but when Holy Spirit transformed me, I knew it wasn't right anymore. And if you want biblical reference... Ephesians 4:29 AMP [29] Do not let unwholesome [foul, profane, worthless, vulgar] words ever come out of your mouth, but only such speech as is good for building up others, according to the need and the occasion, so that it will be a blessing to those who hear [you speak]. Cussing is vulgar, foul, perverse and this scripture is totally against foul, vulgar and perverse speech and you'll find it all throughout the most of the writings of Apostle Paul. Let us not confuse the body of Christ.. Yes we are all growing but at some stage we have to take accountability for our actions. God bless you all.

Lacrae I love the way you told Crystal to wait till marriage. Even though you gave her a safe space to vent how she is because her emotions are valid and her vulnerability is helping someone else and herself. You still reminded her of the goal as believers ; which is to remain in gods promise and follow his word. Well done😊

[@IrieMarie22]

Crystal, I say this in love, the enemy doesn’t care if you’re acting. When you use your body (which houses your spirit) as a vessel to act out different scenes that are opposed to God’s word..it’s sin. We all for short but we all have to really consider if what we do honors the Lord. If God was literally in flesh sitting in the room sitting next to you as you did the sex scenes, would you do them? If God was in flesh sitting next to you as you cursed, would you do it? Your heart felt convicted for a reason..don’t let anyone, not even another celebrity, family member, make you feel like you heard God wrong..read the word for yourself and his voice will be the only one that matters as you draw nearer to him❤️

Judgmental Christians is why ppl don't come to church. She literally said nothing wrong. This was a great interview and kudos to her for her transparency on living a normal everyday life that both Christians and non Christians live and that is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. Imagine passing judgment on someone while having multiple issues yourself that need to be addressed and instead of drawing someone to Christ you push them away and further into whatever struggles they're already trying to get free from as it is.

[@patricechilds]

It's always interesting, when the Holy Spirit of God convicts you of something, there's always someone there (the enemy) telling you that what you're doing is "ok" to do. The beautiful thing about God is, as you truly continue to seek him with your whole heart, he will show you his truth. I used to think "cussing" wasn't bad. I was a PROFESSIONAL at cussing!!🤭🤭 BUT God showed me that cussing was not of him at all. Think about it. When you think of the purity and holiness of God, cussing doesn't match the character of God. Can you imagine God cussing.😳 We're made in the image of God. Cussing doesn't represent God at all. If cussing was OK, why is it that true followers of Christ would NOT dare use a cuss word and Jesus name in the same sentence. Everything we say and do is accounted for. ‭Colossians 3:8 NIV‬ [8] But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. ‭Ephesians 4:29 NIV‬ [29] Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. ‭

Understand that what you are "navigating" is divisiveness. Money makes you have options that you explore, absent of full commitment to God. The Bible absolutely talks about corrupt communication and blessings and cursing. You are putting your own compromise on it. Luke warm, be hot or cold. When you feel a type of way when you're cursing...its conviction. Money gives you confidence away from God. I love you guys, but everyone is compromising. Straight and narrow is the way and few find it .

[@Beorn-Dash]

7 years ago I thought I was a man. Everyone told me I was and I felt more comfortable presenting myself that way. I never felt very feminine and always enjoyed doing things considered to be masculine and dressing that way. Thanks to the consistency of the love from my local church though, I was able to find my identity in Christ, and ultimately I made my fleshly identity to be one that reflected how God made me and not what the world said about me.

I hope you are getting therapy though. On a serious note. I have been doing the research and the research suggests most people who have those feelings have those feeling for a reason and it’s usually environment, upbringing, or attitributed to a medical issue or disorder. For example, the research is showing once people who thought they were trans actually went to good therapists …they found out they were autistic. They are not trans but autistic but didn’t get the help they needed sooner. They are finding out all over the place trans people are being misdiagnosed!

We have lives but what takes preeminence is Christ, His word and His will. You would never hear us talking about our horoscope signs, cussing, attending a Beyonce concert, etc....this was such a babe in Christ talk, if that. As someone said, this video could lead a lot of young believers thinking sin is okay. The line between the Kingdom of God and this world was super blurred. Now the video with Jacky Perry and Priscilla Shirer was on point. So no I was not expecting a sermon; I was expecting a meaty conversation. Crystal did give me insight on where she stands spiritually so my job is simply to pray that she continues to grow in Christ and surrenders all.

Its true what happens when a Godly man comes along! She didnt like the super churchy guy but someone that make believe in God but still living in sin she wants them to lead her.

It’s nothing wrong with sharing what you may struggle with. The confusion comes into play when we accept a lifestyle as if God has no power to bring about deliverance.

They don’t lack maturity,they are speaking THEIR truth about THEIR experiences and no one can change what they have experienced.

Dating is hard, Christian women don’t want Christian men and vice versa. Many people are two faced, claim to want something but in reality are looking for something else. Disingenuous, and unrealistic expectations and demands

[@leahcolemanglobal]

Loved the interview 🙌 both of your leadership! This is REAL. Side note of encouragement: You are living your faith out loud in a world where most do not vocalize or display or discuss. This takes boldness, courage, & vulnerability to share your struggles and things you are facing in each season of your lives. Many will be appreciative of your interview. May you read the comments and pray for those casting judgements or criticizing the variety of sensitive topics you touched on. We are living in a new day & navigating new things at new levels where deception is high & false doctrine is present if even in the vein of parallel to 50 shades of gray literally to all the 50 religions of variations of Christianity. God will be who He is to us in every season & He reveals so many good things to us when we are in true relationship with Him. Clearly you are both yielding to God at the center of your decisions and life. Applying your faith 🙏 May God continue to use your voices for every person meant to hear ❤ and in love may you experience blessings on blessings 🙌

I feel you all are taking this the ENTIRE wrong way. @Crystal Hayslett wants a Godly man or Man of God that knows how to live life AND be saved. “Churchy” people is a face. You can be completely saved and sanctified filled with the Holy Ghost and still live a sinless life which is what she wants. JESUS. A human!!!!

52:00 she says that religion was put in place "to give us order" and she essentially doesn't believe that it matters if you are Christian or Muslim as long as we "treat each other right". She clearly doesn't understand Christianity or seem to have a personal conviction about it. the stories she tells about her dating experiences with men implies that they are living together., she is discussing horoscopes, she is an actress performing very worldly roles when we are called to be a light ... I don't know about this guest, Lecrae.

She seems like a great person. I like her demeanor and sense of humor. I pray God helps her find the right person for her and that he continues to draw her closer to him.

[@roisejoram5388]

I see a lot of people judging & many people not listening I grew up in church & I completely understand where they coming! Growing up in church and actually accepting Jesus & having a relationship with the Lord is different! I know many of us didn’t like to wake on a Sunday morning go to church etc, many of us being young went to church for our church friends to catch up & stuff! But i remember I told my mom one day that that wasn’t going to church anymore until I found Jesus for myself! And when I did I started going to church again I started to understand why we did all that we did growing up! Just cause kids / young adults be in the church don’t mean they know the Lord hence to why we used to be outside & be in church on Sunday morning 😂.

She’s successful and has made it where she’s always dreamed of being! Don’t do people like yall doing. Crystal you are the bomb girl and just like B said your relationship with God is Vertical NOT horizontal! Nothing to prove! Love you girly !

[@__shaney]

This conversation was very disappointing . Lots of justifying for lukewarm behavior and mentality. So many contradictions. Perfection is not expected but we should strive for it even though we will fall short . Thank God for his Grace. There’s no such thing as having a “balance”, cursing is not something we should be okay with, don’t say “I’m not into astrology , but im a Libra “. Say you have convictions but continue to portray sex scenes that does not glorify the Lord . You’re not excused because you’re acting . You will still be held accountable. At the end of the day , everyone has an individual walk but I hope people don’t look up to this conversation, and instead just listen for entertainment purposes only

[@MzToniGenea7]

This was such an awesome interview. I can relate to Crystal in many ways. Being a daughter of the Lord is the Best place to be. However, it's definitely challenging being an educated, business professional, and a black woman over 40 in the dating world. Praying for our black men to strive for holiness in their lives and can still take you to a hip hop concert every now and then. Lol

[@print3328]

I think the thing is, when you are truly striving towards holiness, things like a hip hop concert will have no appeal to you anymore. Most of the lyrics are terrible! I literally cringe at some of the songs I used to listen to. I can’t listen to them anymore like I once did when I was lukewarm. When you really consider that our bodies houses the Holy Spirit, His Spirit inside of you will become grieved hearing certain things.

[@MzToniGenea7]

This explained the entire video so much. Everything she said was misleading for a “Christian” in the “light” as she said. Her saying her faith isn’t the end all be all made it all make sense. You don’t even believe Fully, no wonder you’re so lukewarm and deceived

[@EndeshaMonique]

Be very careful judging either party in this episode (Luke 6:41). You don’t have to agree with everything (cussing, honestly about possible sexual immorality, balance of lifestyle), but this is why all members of the Body of Christ serve a different purpose and have varying gifts (Romans 12:4). And let me be clear: this comes from someone mindful of cursing, music lyrics, and gossiping, and I am celibate! I’m far from lukewarm but I practice the entire WORD, not parts. You never know how much God values another, and using your voice to judge may place you in contempt (Matthew 7:1). Jesus’s disciples were betrayers, liars, and thieves, among other things, but they walked beside Him. Furthermore, He traveled the earth and interacted with all types of people. Your walk may look different, but remember, LOVE is most significant (Matthew 22:36-39) (1 Corinthians 13:13). Focus on your relationship and wisdom. Let God reveal to them what He pleases, when He pleases if He pleases (John 8:7). Let’s Appreciate them both for being vulnerable and loudly claiming our Lord's name (Romans 14:11). Do your work and practice being slow to speak, especially if you didn’t seek God’s voice before doing so (James 1:19). Ensure your character mimics God’s. And YOUR Spirit is full of the suitable fruits, so you earn favor for your righteous works (Proverbs 10:32) (Proverbs 3:34). To more Abundant Life! Blessings 🤍

[@print3328]

There is no condemnation in Christ, however, when the disciples and people encountered Christ, he told them to go and sin no more. (James 8:11) Should we continue in sin that grace may abound? God forbid (Romans 6:1-2)

[@EndeshaMonique]

@@print3328I agree with you but in the grand scheme of things we only know in part (1 Corinthians 13:9). I definitely don’t condone a lifestyle of sin but who are we to determine Gods Divine Timing? We are to Love and Intercede (pray for others), not judge or gossip. That’s all I’m saying. May the Lord Bless you abundantly for speaking His Word. 🤍

[@print3328]

@@EndeshaMonique That is true, we only know in part, but thankfully the Father has also made a lot known to us through His word. We are not to judge unbelievers but we can correct other believers, in love. After we have first examined ourselves of course. (Matthew 7:1-5, It is better for us to help one another while we are still alive, so that we can have time to repent, than to be judged before the Father, when we can no longer repent. Also, people who have a platform should use it very wisely. We will be held accountable for every word (Matthew 12:36, 1 Corinthians 5:12-13) I sense that Crystal has a sweet spirit, so I am praying for her, that she’ll fully submit to the Lord. She would surely have a beautiful testimony to share. May the Lord bless you as well and let us be like the 10 wise virgins and store up oil while it is still daylight ❤️🙏🏾

[@EndeshaMonique]

@@print3328 Beautifully articulated and scriptural. I sense your heart is in the right place (with our Lord’s), and my original statement wasn’t for believers of His likeness. I saw a lot of questionable comments that did not lead with Love. And as I’m sure you know, we are first to pray and then extend grace, forgiveness, and accountability for our words/actions before offering anything (Matthew 5:23-24). They won’t do everything right because they’re of flesh as we are. I know I’m not perfect, but I seek to die to myself and pick up my cross daily (Luke 9:23). There’s no doubt that they have seen these comments reflected upon the content and compared it to their faith in God’s Word. We all go from glory to glory. It’s an opportunity for growth. Thank God for that. God Bless you, my friend, and keep doing the work. I took a moment to serve in this capacity because you took a moment of your valuable time to respond, but I have ministries to tend to and others to reach. I don’t comment much on social media to remain mindful of the context and to not offend my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. However, I wanted to ensure I did not offend your heart. So, I wish you well in all your endeavors. Walk in Wisdom 🤍
