Are Christians Even Relevant in Culture Anymore?

[@Johnsaechao1]

Of course lecrae.. The Gospel has never change . But we got to change are tactic to reach this crazy generation..

[@LornaNjosh-cc8ns]

I believe they are very relevant when they are walking the talk. Those outside really do see the difference though they may not quickly attribute it to the faith. Like how Laban admitted to Jacob that he had had God's favor and blessing and he knew it was because of Jacob being in his house.

THIS!!!!! I’m also in great expectation-just started watching

[@alicia_nicole444]

Dr. Dharius Daniels was the first person that popped on my timeline as I was getting more into reading God's Word. God's timing is so perfect. When PD popped on my timeline in 2022, he was confirming a lot of things that I was going through in my life and the things I was reading in the Bible. I have never heard of a preacher preach that way and it got me super hype to read my Bible more. Dr. Daniels definitely helped me get started, PD had me going to Bible study shouting, asking questions, praising God, and more, and I have been rolling ever since for God with Jesus by my side, and the Holy Spirit keeping me fired up. It is such a refreshing enjoyment when I am able to see the signs and miracles God has done in my life and others, and I am excited for what ever else God has in store for me and you. I cry tears of JOY because God be knowing man. HE BE KNOWING!!!!!!!

[@user-br1wp9ol3r]

Sis, Pastor Daniels and Pastor John F Hannah are truth!!!!! They have been very much apart of my spiritual life and have never been the same!!!

[@JHines-dw1ce]

This man's sermons have been such a blessing to my life over the past 8 years!

[@erickaharr1959]

So many are broken in this hour unaware. The key is getting still in God’s presence all alone just you and Him. Remember God is a Spirit. Be willing to silence yourself in His presence with the WORD! He is the living WORD! I’m praying for a spiritual awakening and revival in the LAND. In Jesus name! Amen 🙏

DD is one of the Greatest communicators you'll ever listen to I just pressed play and I already know im about to learn something and be encouraged by the end of this video.

[@jennshine8777]

I was hooked just by the trailer!

[@sherikabrown3647]

One thing I love about Pastor Dharius is that he he teaches you how to apply the word step by step from a mental/ emotional view point which leads to manifestation in my daily life.

[@MomLife-wb3qr]

"Less access to people's opinions" yes Lord can we return to this!

[@auspeacious]

We may not be able to control what people’s opinion of us in this age because of social media but we can make a conscious effort to choose God’s word above all else.

[@elmirekidd1731]

I love Pastor Dharius on every platform because he just adds value no matter where he is or who he’s talking to and he’s so respectful. His ability to expound on subjects prolifically is unparalleled. Him being real. Him being mindful but honest. Him being able to minister with tact and skill to anyone in his presence, no matter the subject - but still having an open relationship with Jesus at his core. May he continue to stand as a pillar in his generation!

[@mariasolomon419]

MY PASTOR!!! WISDOM FROM HEAVEN ALWAYS 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@shewhohearssimone]

Let me tell you something!! I normally don’t comment on videos but this conversation was one that you can tell didn’t just bless Lecrae but also provided SUCH a safe space for Dr. Dharius. I used to listen to his podcast but I don’t think I’ve heard him speak so openly like this in a while (outside of sermons). This was SO good!!

[@sarahhasbun2169]

My sentiment exactly!!!!

[@AlexisAda]

‼️‼️

[@Apollo-jy1jw]

Great observation sister! I agree 💯 % God Bless you!

[@LornaNjosh-cc8ns]

The trailer already got me spinning!!! 32 hours of waiting??? Oh Lord!!!.

[@asiablue195]

I am one of those “lost members” of the church he’s speaking, I believe. I remember being there on the last day. I had just returned to my home church after being away at college. I remembered writing prayers on the concrete underneath the carpet of the church with other members before the opening of the overflow room. I was so sad that it closed. But to think First Lady advocated for the need of her members? Can’t say I’m surprised. What a full circle moment and a beautiful story.

[@ralphdenis3449]

I appreciate the transparency. I served on the Westampton security team in the past because of my own calling, but I have always prayed for him and will continue to pray for him. Our struggles are real and we must be sensitive to that. God bless you and your family Dr. Darius, and please pray for the Denis family as we continue to pray for you and yours. God Bless..

[@RondayB]

This was pretty good. I listened to it earlier on Apple Podcast. I’m glad y’all had this conversation. I was able to hear his heart. It’s so much going on in these social media streets that if we don’t at least have the conversations, we will live a life continuously assuming things.

[@mikemajor9382]

This is a great conversation!! Pastor Daniels is full of wisdom!!

[@sisterbennett5811]

I love this pastor! I pray that God will always be his center period. I pray that more men will be led by God to be properly disciple by him. In Jesus' precious name, Amen!

[@NeverAloneNeverAfraid]

I kid you not, I felt the Holy Spirt when he started sharing about the former First Lady and how they started the church in Atlanta WOW that’s crazy. It’s cool when God sets things up!!

[@jasminedelisa]

This was so good! I love the origin story of the Atlanta Church and how he explained the challenges reaching the first, second, and third seat members. Most of this conversation blew my mind and is like quadruple entendres to the name Change. Pastor DD is one of the greats our generation is blessed to witness make history. I’m grateful for the lessons I’ve learned from him.

[@steph5494]

Wow. I just moved to Columbus, MS, from southern California. Huge but needed change. He lived close to my mom's (and now my) hometown. Now I know why his teaching style resonates with me. I am a people pleaser and being that is odd for a strong person to understand. I now know why his body of work is anointed for this season in my life. I am grateful for his anointing and obedience to God. The accelerated healing was bananas. God is great nevertheless!! Awesome interview!❤❤❤❤

I heard Dr. Daniels speak 🗣️🎤 at a pastors and leaders conference a couple years ago. The brotha has amazing revelation from God. Thank you, Lecrae, for bringing him on your show and speaking about issues that many in the church want to avoid. 👉🏼💪🏽👑💯🏆 @drpeterrios Ps. I heard you back in 2015-2016 rapping at Indiana Wesleyan University. You were amazing at bringing life through the mic 🎤 with your gift! Keep moving forward my brother! 🙏🏽👑

[@redeem372]

Thank you for taking the time to do this interview. Love u both and both of your witness with your giftings. Message received. ❤

[@nic.am.i]

That’s my pastor! He teaches me the Word logically. I’ve never , no not Neeever understood the Bible the way I do now since I found PD. It just makes sense. Like duh, why **wouldn’t** I want to do what God tells us to do. Love you PD!!!

[@michellemoragne-morris3441]

When I showed up at Change Church 7 years ago, I was right in the middle of what Pastor had experienced. When he was finished preaching, I knew there was nowhere else I was going to attend church. The biggest problem the church is facing, is not dealing w the soul problems and behavior problems.. His ministry has changed my life and my husbands life..

[@amieshawilliams]

That’s it! I only want to be around people and follow pastors whose teachings insists that I sit in the spoken and unspoken word of God. And also, forces me to have deep introspection BEFORE I do anything else. Thank you, Lecrae! I appreciate you even more in ministry beyond your music. Thank you, Pastor Darius. CHANGE global in the building with you. I will follow you anywhere as you follow Christ. I’m out here making adjustments… not excuses!

[@crystalspring6821]

This was inevitable! I am grateful to see two men of God who have irreversibly changed my life, my faith, my relationships, and my ability to share the word finally together on the same platform. Thank you for sharing insight into who you are outside of our usual encounters. Grace! Grace!

[@laquonjones7076]

Keep the word that God puts in you, remain in the flesh you walk in and don't focus on no one's opinion but the Father!!! In the end we shall be judged individually and the only words that should matter are the words " Job well done my humble servant"!!!! I will continue to be a member of CHANGE CHURCH, because I have searched so long for the way you preach and walk. I am Home with your leadership Mr. Daniel's. I will pray that God lights your path clearly so that no other mentions of you by man affects you.

This interview blessed me! 🙌🏿 all of Pastor Dharius’ sermons add value to my life and spiritual growth. His book Relational Intelligence taught me so much!
