TobyMac opens up about music and faith after son's overdose death l GMA

[@stepbystep5572]

My son passed soon after yours from fentanyl poisoning, Toby. I played 21 years at his viewing. I found out my son passed in the middle of Walmart. I feel such a connection to your journey. I was blessed with my Bryan for 26 years. Micah 7:18 gets me through.

[@ourblissfulhaven]

Wow... I am so sorry to hear this... Did you know your son was struggling with drug addiction? Do you know what may have caused him to start especially as a Christian?

[@lolaalaniz9620]

I also, would like to offer bible scriptures in hope to encourage. 1Thess 4:13-14 ,Isaiah 26:19 ,Matthew 22: 30 ,Acts 17 : 34 ,Hebrews 4:16 Hebrews 6: 19

Wow! Unreal! My Heart Goes Out To You Also. Such a Beautiful Song. I'm Sorry for Your Loss. May you gain the peace and love that transcends all understanding. May you be a shining light of Testimony til we rid our country of this terrible drug that's threatening all our youth. Note: In 2022/2023 Two HS Females we're poisoned to death via fentanyl and died at School. We must find a way to get rid of this drug. Hang in there. Love ya Sister in Christ! May Your Son Rest In Paradise With Truett!

My son passed 3 weeks ago. He had just turned 21 exactly a month to the day earlier. I went through exactly what you described saying "are you sure". I'm still struggling with believing this is real.

Still can’t believe how hard it must’ve been to lose a son you loved that much. Sure is a good thing it’s a temporary loss, and one day, you’ll find him.

@@markdiaz4203 I've received the baptism of the holy spirit; Jesus loves us all and wants the same for us. Someone doing drugs is lost and in danger, we don't condemn them of their sin, we pray for them and help them if we can.

One time only! my friend tried a fentanyl laced drugs from the street and now she’s gone. I miss her so much.

Don’t do drug. Teach your kids since young age to avoid it....to hate it .... As parent we should lead our kids to the right path

? This is all that you have to say to the death of someobody’s loved one?

[@sugarspice7768]

@@mutelarsorhougbe4606 no. This is not for him or his family. But a warning for myself and others. Especially for the young people they influence with their music and platform.

[@mutelarsorhougbe4606]

@@sugarspice7768 alright- yes, a valid warning indeed. I felt it was a bit untoward if its all that was to be said, but i get where you are coming from

[@sugarspice7768]

@@mutelarsorhougbe4606 I have family member who are addicts. It's very sad to see them destroy their lives and it is destructive for the whole family. So much pain & suffering. So it is very personal. It is good to see the love and compassion of the Christian community. But it is also good to speak the hard truth. I just posted the first thing that came to my mind as I watched the video. Have a good day thanks for understanding. ✌🙏🏻

[@johneaves4649]

It's not an accident if you choose to do it he chose death not Jesus

[@Sincerely_Tyrany]

You don’t know what he’s going through

[@johneaves4649]

Yes I understand people go through things you can choose Jesus or choose to do your own thing if he would have chosen Jesus he would have made better choices

[@johneaves4649]

I'm confused how could he be a Christian and do drugs aren't we supposed to be like Jesus repent and NOT do drugs ❓❓❓😇

[@hallietolbert3851]

Its more than that. It's about a personal relationship with God. When you repent you genuinely feel bad. And God takes that and gives grace. We cannot continually live in sin. Buy that is why only god knows the heart. Only god knows if this man was feeling guilty for what he was doing or if it was a 1 time drug use gone bad. To put it short, we are not god and truly cannot judge this situation

[@donmcc6573]

You are right. You are confused.....

[@thatboi3rdy]

Discipleship starts at home, Toby mac.

[@donmcc6573]

And judgment starts on social media.

[@samveeder2013]

And Christians are supposed to be known by their love..

[@MalachiPelly-vk9du]

I don’t believe Toby’s work is pointed towards God. Look at the hat he’s wearing that’s the symbols of Orisis a death resting place for the demon Orisis.

[@johneaves4649]

The Bible is clear repent turn from your sinful ways choose Jesus and you will be saved it's between him And God if he goes to heaven 😢😢😢😢

[@jingleballs9935]

Imagining worshipping a being that took away your son lmao. Sorry but couldn’t be me. He doesn’t have a plan for u. And it would be better if his son was here instead. If he does have a plan, IT SUCKSz

[@mutelarsorhougbe4606]

According to you, another mortal human being? How does this change or improve anything?

[@thatboi3rdy]

Haha Don't blame it to God, the son killed himself. Why do people blame it directly to God? that He took his life whatsoever? Disobedience and foolishness brings death and that's not God's fault. You gotta obey if you really want to experience God's blessing, why would He pour blessing and favor to someone if who doesn't even have relationship with Him. Don't be demanding, u need to obey and have faith.

[@cinamomma]

@jingle balls, imagine you not knowing or understanding anything about God while commenting on a Christian post. It's not you so don't worry about someone else's faith.

[@donmcc6573]

Where is the promise that no one will ever experience tragedy or loss?

[@johneaves4649]

Very true we can't blame God for our choices we either choose life Jesus or Satan death
