1:17 - “I don’t think the faith should be seen as a group of gurus who get it all right. I think the faith should be seen as a bunch of broken people who can admit they’re broken and they don’t have it together, and they need a loving God and Saviour to help them navigate this.”

@@tweeterpeaked2681 Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other people-robbers, evildoers, adulterers-or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.’ But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his chest and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’ I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.

I like the idea of Christianity being mainstream so long as it BIBLICAL Christianity. But such a thing seems pretty far from the mainstream these days. But I really liked what you said “Jesus doesn’t need anyone to be validated” that’s absolutely true

[@Will-gb1mj]

“I feel the pressure, under more scrutiny. And what I do? Act more stupidly.” Thankful for you pulling back the curtain on faith + celebrity. Bless.

Exactly, pressure makes us confused, which cause people to make lots of mistakes.

your so incredibly wise thank you for your 2 cents ! never stop.

I wondered how you'd tackle that question. You didn't disappoint 👌🏿 The clarification that faith doesn't make you perfect through and through was spot on. It's a job with consequences and delayed gratification involved.

Without having to take a jab at anyone or backlash on anyone's faith . You handled the topic really well.. blessed

I love to hear you talk. You make so much sense.

[@edoss5143]

Good word bro!

[@official_theo5671]

It’s like this, by big name rappers and entertainers repping Christianity it’s a positive/possible negative thing. On the positive aspect the gospel is reached to the masses and ppl that were almost impossible to reach are reached. However on the negative aspect of it some people will associate their favorite entertainer with how they should walk in faith and as you can see most of the mainstream “Christians” don’t necessarily set a good example. I understand the fact that no one is perfect (of course), but some not wise decisions you make on a massive platform can affect people in a negative way long term and ultimately get “fans” off track. There’s many small churches out there preaching the straight gospel and don’t get exposure, where’s these “mainstream” entertainers just say Jesus automatically are praised. Remember Matthew 7:21 “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” I do believe depending on the context of mainstream you say it does determine wether it can be positive or negative. (Disclaimer: I’m not perfect in any way shape or form, just expressing my thoughts on the topic, God bless)

[@joyh.729]

Yes, makes total sense. The more popular a thing, one has to wonder how much it truly reflects Jesus. As the scripture says, ‘Broad is the way that leads to destruction, ….but narrow is the way that leads to life.’ Matt 7:13-14

[@kanyeye7172]

[@koketsomokone2975]

Great answer!

[@jgpitts]

Great discussion I'm all for the growth and spread of the Gospel. That is foundational. Yet, I'm also interested in knowing how much of the popularity translates into making church attending, Bible-reading, prayer-filled disciples of Christ. To your point, converting to Christianity doesn't take away pain, persecution, or hardships. If anything, that may increase. I pray that all who hear would receive the Lord, love the Lord, and find their purposes in our Lord and Savior.

[@katracysullivan3768]

Thank you for sharing this. It is a beautiful reminder to the Body of Christ and to those who are watching Christians to see if they want in.

God bless you man! I just subscribed! And I love your music! So inspiring

[@christopherclayton417]

I love the thought process. I struggle with this idea and have come to many of the same concepts that could cause issues. I also see the value in honest, and vulnerable, realistic scripture based,. Songs being sung to praise God. or lament hardships. And also songs that just relay struggle and hardships of this process of becoming someone new in Christ. Denying ourselves and things we realize hold us back. I was a unrepentant sinner for so long I understand the temptation. And even now I am only growing and trying to surrender, I am still a sinner. I feel like a hypocrite. I don't want to muddy the message of the gospel. Many songs helped me and glory to God for creating insight and inspiration for people who serve in such a capacity. I appreciate the fact God can reach you where you are at with a word in season from an artist serving God. But nothing can replace the personal relationship with our Lord and Savior. Getting to know Christ through scriptures and sound doctrine. The Author and Finisher of our faith. Lays a heavy conviction on me to not lead people astray, I feel I have fallen short even in trying to help those around me. Without a firm foundation this is a bad recipe. For financial gain and undeserved recognition. Taking credit, false pride, greed, being a public figure, dealing with the mainstream temptation, being a people pleaser. possibly an idol knowingly or unknowningly. I can see myself not being able to be an affective ambassador in those circumstances. And our own personal relationship where God's Holy Spirit leads us into all truth and understanding. My intentions and motive have lead me astray when I lean on my own understanding. I feel you need a unshakable faith, a calling and anointing. Constant examination of thoughts and intentions, Anything is possible with Jesus Christ who strengthens us. But maybe I am no judge to say what God has put into our hearts. I just wouldn't want to fail people with everything at stake. It might have less to do with who I assume is qualified. And more to do with I am uncomfortable with myself being uncompromising in such a situation.

I love my faith but I find myself kind of forcing my spirituality on them and I need to sometimes take a step back and just be a good influence voluntarily and not forcefully. I’m grateful for my faith and I need to like he said “ not validate Jesus because he is already Validated”
