NF is a Christian but not a Christian rapper, but I felt like the Hope album was him getting closer to God, like in Happy!

[@thepunisher00731]

Yea he was Christian labeled for years starting out. Toby Mac songs, etc. I really think he took the label off to reach a bigger audience with his journey to God. Sadly in the world we live in, being labeled a Christian publicly gets you dislike after dislike. The bible even states this and how it was like when Jesus was on earth. He was hated by the world.

[@7enty7en83]

@@thepunisher00731 Agreed

[@user-cc5kl7qv8f]

@@thepunisher00731 yeah for some reason people dislike the church after they spend years mass-murdering any non-christian they could get their hands on, wouldn't know why

[@pizzaloverpizzawithwingsyum]

He made oh lord he collaborated with Toby Mac and was featured in start over

[@zenyammusicstudio693]

I think you might have it backwards. He is a Christian Rapper cause he talks about God and his feelings, hand & hand. Being a Christian Rapper doesn’t mean you have to always talk good about God. It’s okay to question it. I am an Ex Jehovahs Witness and I myself do believe in a higher power but it’s questionable to me cause of how I was raised in a Cult of a religion it is. He maybe a “Christian” but he for sure is a Christian Rapper. Try and go back and really listen to all his songs even if you’ve done that before, I have done it many times from start to his current song and each time I hear something else that I missed. Like the song Mansion I didn’t think God was in it and I’ve listened to it over and over again but for some reason today watching this video I heard it. Yes, everyone is free to express what they think about if he is or isn’t a rapper; But maybe try my idea or try it again up to you ofc! ❤

[@MeWizeMagicDan]

Wow. This needs to be a series!

[@dennisr.4918DennyDesigns]

To be honest NF speaks to a lot of us broken Christians. I appreciate his honesty and integrity. I would love to see you guys do the NF Journey. Subbed for more NF. Another good song for his background is Nate.

[@ruealgie]

The good christians at least ** asterisks are needed since most christians are p unkind and unlike him

[@xler3441]

I just wanted to tell you that Jesus loves you so much and He is waiting for you with open arms Please accept Him in your heart and life while He is near True Christianity is not just a religion, it's a Father - child relationship with God

[@jmw24000]

NF saved my life and I absolutely THRIVE on watching people fall in love with his music ❤

[@pizzaloverpizzawithwingsyum]

I love how in the beginning he was so confident but then in the end he had a lot in his head

[@xler3441]

I just wanted to tell you that Jesus loves you so much and He is waiting for you with open arms Please accept Him in your heart and life while He is near Always remember that we are saved by grace through faith, not by our works We are called to live for Christ because we're already saved and He loves us, not to try to earn these things True Christianity is not just a religion, it's a Father - child relationship with God

[@ashleydavis2739]

I’ve listened to NF for years and this reaction has made me really think and be more vulnerable with myself and my emotions. I’ve found it hard to be empathetic to myself but someone who understands and has been through it is such an eye opener for a lot of us just to know that it’s OKAY. Nothing is wrong with you and you are not broken, because you can still be put back together

[@pamelaouzts3847]

Great breakdown! In this one NF says "God says I'm not locked in! I am lost in my own conscience." He is aware God is the answer.

[@savdbygracethatwrks6850]

Thank you, here for more NF!!! I know he has said something like a lot of Christians try to act like everything is perfect and that's not where he was or where he was at, he is barely getting to the point of being able to forgive

[@davidterry6155]

There are definitely some NF songs that his experience of a worship leader comes through. It really sounds like a prayer session in a church, where the song leader is extending out the music

[@jfrazz9729]

Thanks for your reaction as a doctor and a Christian. I find this so powerful. I didn’t experience this, but I have my own experiences. And I work with a lot of youth at risk and I’m trepidatious about including it on my playlist for when they’re around. Or sharing with their teachers. What do you think?

[@SiNestEr691]

do it! i wish i found nf when i was younger instead of feeling alone and the odd one out all the time

[@zachmyster4711]

Please do the NF Journey. Your insight to his songs is extremely helpful and I’d love to hear your thoughts on many of his songs. Because I too relate to a lot of what he says

[@rickiek.267]

Ready for this. Subbed for more NF.

[@JutnReacts]

Very knowledgeable and truthful reaction to this song. I loved this video!!! Now let him listen to the REST OF HIS MUSIC😂🥺

[@rebeccakamara5853]

I love how you said "... someone that talks about some real subject matters" . Some people may label his music dark but I say it's real. Like what would society be like if we were remotely this honest with each other and others received that honesty with compassion and grace and mercy. Life is hard, Jesus I pray you give us wisdom to be safe heavens for each other, being extensions of your mercy and compassion. Darkness can not survive, at least it does not stay as dark when we continue to bring our struggles to light. I am thankful for people like NF.

[@melodylee9816]

“I lie to myself and say I do the best that I can” hit me hard and still does. I break down every could months realizing my life isn’t going anywhere and I’m not accomplishing anything. Even in the day by day. I break down knowing I’m not trying my hardest. It’s just a cycle. Ugh I hate how on point his lyrics are.

[@MaddieBullock]

I’m right there with ya. I’ve had a constant headache that hasn’t stopped since 2014 and that plus driving anxiety has gotten so crippling… I’m 27 today and I haven’t slept (it’s currently 3 AM) ugh sorry I just needed to vent, it’s wild how much emotion gets evoked when you listen to lyrics that are relatable and you’re tired in more ways than one…

[@kevinb7098]

Insidious is blind inception... so true!! This is a very deep line, as an addict in recovery, it really hits home

[@seanlofgren3423]

Earned a sub. Not a believer. Not gonna change far as I see. But you guys are terrific and I like your personalities and content. Well done!

[@thomasmelton287]

I hope you don't mind if I pray for you. I lost my 2 year old son and without Jesus in my life I would have died when he did. I just want that for everyone

[@FishermanMike253]

NFREALMUSIC! I love this breakdown! New sub! Stay blessed!

[@discipleoftheLordJesusChrist]

I hope NF gets born again and begins to walk in the light. I used to have ptsd(from the military) and God set me free by the power of the Holy Spirit. I came from a broken home where my earthly father disciplined me how he saw fit(but there was no love, only hurt) Through knowing my heavenly Father because of the Son, I am free from bitterness and unforgiveness, and no longer struggle with suicidal thoughts or depression or anxiety because whom the Son sets free is free indeed. If any man be in Christ, he is a new creation, the old is passed away, behold the new is come. Thank God for His unspeakable gift.

[@ェエェ]

I hope so as well, also, thanks for your service.

[@rebeccakamara5853]

" The only missing peace is that Jesus can deal with all that stuff" I think that when I listen to NF. I think to myself, I resonate a lot with what you are saying but there is real hope in Jesus.

[@nonoyesyes6870]

Coming back to watch JP's first NF adventure. Man, it hits home. Same story as me, sweeping under the rug for 30 years and now it comes to bare fruit of some sort....LOL. Out here in Los Angeles and when i ever get close to see you in person. Sir I will be there. 50 years old and just picked up my first Bible 2 weeks ago. Keep lighting the way fellas.

[@fabryroberti]

Loved this reaction and analysis! Hope you will take the whole journey!

[@michaeltodd7008]

Thank you so very much for reacting/commenting on the substance of the content regarding MANSION. Appreciate the perspective as a fellow believer in Christ Jesus who was killed on a cruel cross, shed his precious blood for the remission of our sin and proved his deity by being resurrected from the dead and ascended back to the right hand of God the Father. Jesus Christ our Lord is soon returning.

[@melonsauce1474]

So, what do you think about the song?

[@pizzaloverpizzawithwingsyum]

Anybody else got goosebumps at the end

[@christinabott-lamb1781]

This is a great first one to react to!

[@ethanseanbillingsley9962]

Keep up the work this video was great and the rapper is one of my favorites to!

[@casonsorandom]

the room of regrets he mentions is the same room in Hope with all the black balloons

[@kevinb7098]

You can have God in your life without feeling the need to shove it down others throats. NF is so raw and that's why I love him.

[@acelcruz222]

🔥🔥💯💯 Reaction NFrealmusic 💯💯, ive always believed that NF music could easily be used for many different types of emotional educational courses, looking forward to seeing more!!

[@nicholassernberger7772]

its quite long but NF’s “journey” is amazing the symbolism is second to none

[@sophie1370]

In his first album “moments” he talks about opening a door and feeling the pain being lifted off him then turning back and deciding not to go back through the door because he feels better so why would he go back. I think that was fear telling him to stay in the door (entering the mansion) which led to all of this.

[@gambokhunter8688]

Using these reacts as another reason to leason to the NF songs again honestly 😂😅 but its made how these still touch a deep place after all these years still.

[@danmatejka7380]

Nf has said he didn't want to label himself a Christian rapper. As he didn't want to limit his audience. React to the song start over by nf/flame.

[@flawlessorca75]

Would love a reaction to DAX - Dear God or Hopsin - Ill mind 7. Nf is amazing, ive watched some of your other NF reactions - I hope you continue through the journey.

[@Bliss4522]

Nf is definitely a Christian. He actually was a Christian artist but no one would play it because it was too "heavy". Watch therapy session. There are songs to show you his relationship with God. Drifting. That's a powerful one!

[@LeFranceBallLikesMusic]

He was a Christian rapper but by Therapy Session / Perception he became a rapper that is Christian.

[@jenniferbrossman6897]

I had a rough childhood also. When I explain NF to people this is my thoughts. We are getting to watch and experience someone that has reached the point ( not all reach it) there is no going back. You finally figure out how messed up you are from your childhood. Realizing just how ill prepared for life you are. The Defense mechanisms that kept you alive as a child are what is defeating you as an adult. And you have no clue where to begin or if you even have the courage to try and fix yourself. You doubt everything about who you are and why you are like you are. Because if things started at a realy young age you don't have a real foundation of yourself. So as you try to change what seems like every core part of yourself you have nothing to go back to being. Will you like who you become? You feel like even good things are tainted by traumas from your childhood. For example. I say I have great qualities but not in the quantity that I have them. Giver to a fault, etc. Can I handle not liking myself because it feels wrong to put myself first. Will I ever learn that its ok to put my needs first. We get to go along on this journey of a guy trying to fix himself because once you truly know how boken you are and don't know at all what "normal/ functional " even looks like because if you have ever actually seen it you think its the lie. But you cant go back now the ignorant bliss is forever gone to you, so you either go crazy trying to go back or go crazy taking a step forward and 10 back . He showes us his steps forward and backwards. His vulnerability..Thats why we relate to nf

[@af2807]

I have rarely heard a better discription if what this song represents for me. All i can say is thank you😅

[@MansterBear]

Do the NF Journey. It’ll go thru his whole backstory and evolution of not only style, but hope and becoming more positive.

[@LVTHORAscending]

This music is too dark for people who don't experience a similarly dark reality. Never met a happy go lucky person who had relatable music to cry or vent through.

[@partiallyhealedsunburn1881]

That’s why his music is so important to people who aren’t happy go lucky. He is much more raw and vulnerable than most artists and it’s the main trait that draws people to him. But honestly, sometimes you just need a good cry session 🤷🏻‍♀️ and his music is PERFECT for that

[@tiff5756]

I would love to see a reaction to “Start over” by NF 😊

[@emilIsaiah]

I wish one of you (pastor JP I empathize more with based on his remarks to the song.) Wish both of you were available or one day available in my area....(Canada haha, come to Toronto one day? I'd commute out to see you both !) so I could seek talk (advice? Therapy?) An ear, I suppose, to hear me and rebuttal me softly with thought provoking things.. My therapy here is therapists asking me "why are you here?" (Because I have the CBT skills needed to be "okay,") But spiritually I'm empty and feel as though (now,) therapy is going to end in my therapist asking me why I return weekly/bi-weekly, that I know xyz skills etc. But my response always has been "I'm lonely." I want a safe spot to go to. But I'm also stagnant... I have no endeavours to hopes or dreams - I don't hold those anymore. I'm on autopilot. I just survive. I know things that can help or contribute to my better health (mental and physical) but I'm unmotivated and uninspired. I'm diagnosed with co morbid mental illness, and treat with medication. But I'm still a shell/husk. I want to make my father (and myself) proud by going after my art as a career. But again no direction. My art is personal...so a basic "copy/press" scenario is unfulfilling to me. I'm at a crossroad. I know my talents and weaknesses but no motivation to act (thank you, depression.) Alas.... I love you both and wish you both (and your producer!) Happiness and well-being. I enjoy your content. Thank you for sharing!

When are you guiding going to do “why did you leave us” ?

[@notthefbi7932]

You'll have to do Hope 😁👍

[@JandJ0423]

I ran away and tried to block out all my pain from physical, sexual, emotional, mental, and spiritual abuse. I used sports in the beginning then when that was taken from me I turned to alcohol and drugs. I tried so many times and went into treatment so many times. I refused to let anyone know the stuff I endured. Some reasons were trust and also cuz I didn't think they wanted to hear or could handle it. I also had so much shame and guilt. Shame can be deadly. I was in one rehab that said when I got kicked out that I would never make it or get clean and that pi$$ed me off. If a rehab don't think I can do it then can I do it?! I had just found out my daughter gma died when I was in rehab and when I made contact, her dad said I've been trying to find you cuz my mom died and my daughter found her. The rehab kicked me out when I was dealing with that, instead of helping me. I never been loved or cared about since I was born and when entered foster care system, it was the same thing. My caseworker said no one will ever want you or adopt you cuz you to damaged and broken, and I lived with that for years. I was scared to trust anyone and always thought I would be rejected and abandoned and never be loved. Trust and insecurities are still something I struggle with and I understand this song so well and scared of dealing with the pain and it's easier to get angry and pretend I'm fine. I use humor and sarcasm all the time, so no one knows my pain. I feel the same way, I don't let anyone all the way in and keep a wall up.

[@abzerdgaming9756]

Nf was a Christian rapper before. Look up his moments album

[@StretchGamesHD]

He did class himself as a Christian rapper. Until about 2 years ago.

[@christinabott-lamb1781]

NF is a rapper that is Christian - not a Christian Rapper (like a plumber that's Christian)

Yall see those eyes when the “broken legs” line hit?

He does say he is a Christian but he’s not perfect.

[@JandJ0423]

How is it dark, when they are speaking there truth???

[@Gi_Lovely]

He might have been labeled as “Christian” when he started but later proved to be far from it. I’ve been listening to NF since he started and he definitely was not an authentic Christian. In one interview he said basically that he was marketed to Christians because of his label. The new album he used God’s Name in vane, so I think he still has some way to go to completely surrender to Christ. I do believe that God has a plan for him though. ❤️‍🩹

[@brandenflinchbaugh9038]

I appreciate your reaction, but are you a licensed therapist? Being a pastor is not even close to being a therapist. If you are not licensed, please don't use the tag of therapist in your videos.

[@Lcid-]

one of them is a pastor one is a therapist, i’d also argue you don’t need a license to be someone’s therapist emotionally speaking

[@georgiaevans5613]

In an earlier video he said he has a doctorate in counselling

I've tried to reach out but nobody wants to hear it because they are afraid of how uncomfortable it will make them. I have nobody
