how can he lead anyone to a kingdom hes not apart of lol.. read your bible dude!

[@pineapple7024]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@GraceByFaith-86 The bible says to repent and act righteously, and depending on the denomination, that forgiveness from God comes to anyone who is genuinely prepared to accept grace into their life. Which Kendrick has done. So he IS part of that kingdom. Alternatively, he isn’t and he’s more like Vergil; he’s the damned leading people away from Hell at the crossroads. Apart of the Kingdom of God or not, he is still leading people to the path of righteousness. At least, according to the faith I grew up in, as well as literature from other faiths

[@army_of_boomstick7997]

One time, I was at the hospital overnight because i had a heart issue at 25. I had to spend the night, and i felt alone and depressed because my gf and kids were at home, and i told them to stay home and not to worry. The cleaning lady stopped by and changed the trash cans, saw me, and looked sad. Asked me what was going on, and when i did, she told me that if i accepted jesus, i would be better. She took the time and prayed for me, asking for my health to improve. The fact that this lady took to the time to stay and care about me made me break down and cry as it was nice to know she cared about me, a stranger. Every once in a while, i like to think about that moment

[@HephaestusGoldthread]

I agree. Been studying the Bible for a minute now and. Listening to Kendrick too. That's a true man. There is a concept in there called apocatastasis. Basically the opposite of the apocalypse. And they tell that the restoration of God's perfection and salvation of all people rivers exactly from that, from learning love. Love from the next person down the street, then one begins to love itself. It's not easy, and I believe Kendrick knows that. Everyone deals with a certain amount of loss, of grief, personal defeats, at the end of the day everyone's fighting and through love and faith in Jesus everything is lighter. Amen.

Somebody needs to put all of Kendrick's stories and experiences in a compilation because I could listen to him for hours. His lyrics all come from something, and from somewhere within him so it's interesting to hear what molded and influenced him. His mind is fascinating with how deep he really goes in.

I thank GOD for that woman. She doesn't realize that she pointed him to the source of unlimited love. Now he displays that love that inspires others. This is evident to me in his music and recently the Compton community College speach. He continued this by showing all those young people that same faith with no fear. ❤

[@jacobanderson6767]

It’s so crazy how seeing your friend get killed in the hood is so normalized that he can just say that like it’s nothing.

[@anahnnemus5187]

He had time to process that before talking about it. It's not like it happened a month ago and he's just chill. Idk, the way you said it makes it seem like for people living in the hood it's just Tuesday. You have no idea what goes on inside someone. Lots of people can act heartbroken and inside not give af. He or anyone in the hood does not need to be performative so people outside can know how they felt/feel. It's dehumanizing.

[@donnyouttheway4091]

Do you know how old he was? That’s not normalizing at all you d--😒. At some point in your life, you have to live and be ok with things you cannot change. Whether it be a fall out, death or anything else that affects you negatively in life.

There's 0 shock to that statement when there really should be for a story about a kid's friend getting *killed* . I hope that makes sense. Kendrick is talking about a child that was murdered by another child - that shouldn't be a reality, ya know?

[@slightlyhomeless454]

​@@anahnnemus5187I think the point is that its most definitely a fact that us who live in the hood are desensitized to death, it hurts but we believe that we shouldn't grieve for long because people getting shot is just what happens in the hood
