Lecrae Talks About His Struggles with Mental Health & Addiction

After reaching the top of his game, Lecrae struggled with deep depression and addiction, self-medicating with alcohol and pills. He contemplated walking away from everything - his career, his wife, his life - but God broke through and restored him and his faith.
"I Am Restored: How I Lost My Religion and Found My Faith" is out on Oct. 13. Get your copy at lecrae.com/

Why are some of these comments so negative? Lecrae is a human. He has struggles like normal people. People still throwing him hate. Pray for him instead. Pray that he continues to grow in Christ. I love this man of God so much!🙏

Exactly!!! Amen brother

[@FirstNameLastName-pg3pi]

im so glad that we have honest, real, and cool Christian leaders in the world like Lecrae

[@adamwilliams2679]

Definitely a good reminder I need when going through this seemingly impossible season of my life.

[@ryank2434]

I’m a person who is in recovery, and lecraes music helped me a lot when I first got sober, and now to this day. Him and mineo really helped me.

Yet all are here...

wym?

[@joycecampbell1344]

...I pray for yet another restoration for you...many are more than upset over current things.. You gotta remember - " from one blood He made ALL THE NATIONS...it is not a God thing to pull either the black card or the white card. Warnock may be black...but he does some really bad stuff...among other things.

[@jesusdeity2010]

Gen 1:27. "And God made man according to His image and likeness and gave them authority". That got lost through the fall of man. But is freely returned by Jesus Holy Blood and Holy Spirit IN us. The Gospels were written by man like you and me. Eyewitnesses that saw God walking this earth in Christ. Healing all, raising the dead, casting out demons, controlling nature. He said: "If you see Me, you see the Father. The Father and I are one. You will understand that the Father is IN me and I am IN you. I will send Holy Spirit, the same as Me, He will be IN you, guide you into truth and will give you power. The same miracles I do, you will do too, etc ,etc". It is in John 14 up to 17. It is the ultimate conclusion of Gods word. Jesus, born by the Spirit of God, filled with the Spirit of God....... God manifested on earth in a human body. Completely normal btw. In Genesis He made man according to His own image and likeness. So what's the big fuzz that Jesus could not be the exact image of God in the flesh? He just is. Evenmore. Now by His Spirit we transform back to the same image! Hence the countless miracles i already have experienced. God has come full circle! "As in the first Adam ALL died (lost the divine nature), so also ALL were made alive IN Christ to walk in Zoë = divine life again." Rom 5:18 The divine life the first Adam let go of has been freely returned to us by Christ's blood and Spirit. Because your imams never understood this, they mock, scoff, put it down, contradict it.... leading you away from your true identity in God. Heartbreaking. Same happens in Christianity btw. Most Christians think it is all about trying to do good, dodging hell and going to heaven some day. Heaven already came down in Spiritform, for you to be indwelled by, be changed and walk in unselfish divine power and love. "Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty [emancipation from bondage, true freedom]. And we all, with unveiled face, continually seeing as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are progressively being transformed *into His image* from [one degree of] glory to [even more] glory, which comes from the Lord, [who is] the Spirit." 2 Corinthians 3:17‭-‬18 AMP And gone is depression.

So if I am understanding correctly, Lecrae will be retiring from touring and not from music. I hope it's that.

[@FirstNameLastName-pg3pi]

he said in a live stream that the Restoration tour will probably be his last tour and that he'll most likely keep making and releasing music

[@damianedwards2327]

Amazing. Talking about Blackness in Christ. and how outcasts have been discarded by America and the Church through the racist crimes of this nation. Just like what is spoken in Tobymac's 'I'm Sorry' song.

[@joycecampbell1344]

Maybe time to relearn what you missed...

[@johnbest4772]

He's part of the occult

you're being judgemental and prejudice

except for the fact that hes not

[@johnbest4772]

@@damianedwards2327 Google it. He's all about the occult imagery. Lots of Christian artists are.

[@damianedwards2327]

@@johnbest4772 you have never spoken to Lecrae. You're making up things about him. You would never want anyone to do that to you. As Christ followers we should be the last to gossip or condemn people for having an opinion.

[@FirstNameLastName-pg3pi]

@@johnbest4772 google cant tell you whether or not someone is apart of the occult. the Spirit of God and the heart of man can. God had me turn away from others and listen to Lecrae so i know hes good

[@RickHawkDavison]

Lacrae denied Christianity many times.

[@johnd46]

Is he imperfect yes? Has he lost faith in God? No. As a matter of fact, it's looks like his faith in God s strengthening again and he is getting bolder. May God continue to use him and lets pray for him🙏🙏

[@CultureChaplain]

Jokers still spelling his name wrong 😂

[@FirstNameLastName-pg3pi]

he never denied Christianity

[@londekanomfundomadlala2416]

Peter 3 times

[@brokengirl8619]

Christianity is not christ. He never rejected christ. He didn't reject the bible. He rejected Christianity, which is a system.

[@deejay7759]

And yet he campaigned with and did a concert for Warnock of Georgia a few days ago. A man who claims to be a Christian pastor but supports abortion . Lacrea needs to recheck himself.

[@HolyShift17]

Check out this judgmental comment. If you’re going to judge another at least spell their name correctly. ❤️

[@HolyShift17]

Still incorrect, but I guess it’s a little better. Only god can judge. Your intentions are good though. ✌🏾✌🏿

[@-JoeNathanKusno]

Jesus said, “it is not the healthy who needs the doctor but the sick,” Jesus didn’t come for righteous people, He came for sinners. We preach God’s Word and make Jesus known to people who don’t know Him. For thats what Jesus did 🤍

[@CarlosNOrtega]

Lecrea is not even a christian

[@jeffhanna30]

Since he started supporting BLM I lost all respect for lecrae.

[@alwaysloveable2]

This comment confuses me, I have been much of a lecrae fan but the fact that he stands up for the rights of black people is not a reason to lose respect for a person. BLM is not a attack on other races or saying that other lives do not matter, rather saying that the discrimination and prejudice against black people is rampant in our justice system and needs to be called to the forefront and cut out

[@alwaysloveable2]

@Eunuch By Soy that's not always the case for a person of color there are too many cases to list where there was a "mistaken identity" or "they look suspicious" just because they were black.

[@alwaysloveable2]

@Eunuch By Soy yes and dead, I understand that you feel as though "they must have earned it" but the system we have now was built to keep people of color in line and that racism still is very present today in the current system

[@CultureChaplain]

@Eunuch By Soy often, we don’t take the time to actually listen to one another. It’s a serious issue today. Yes, you are right, personal responsibility is important. Yes, there is such a thing as systemic racism and bias. Even in the case where everything is legit and justice is served, a person dies when they are clearly in the wrong, and the cop was right... why are we so quick to celebrate death and callously justify it?

[@alwaysloveable2]

@@CultureChaplain I completely agree with your statement sometimes it takes more strength to listen with a open heart then speak with our own thoughts and ideas. We don't always have to agree but if we are willing to listen and hear what is being said without judgment we can change our world for the better
