&& thanks for posting... I been detoxing from IG so it has most def been a minute for me. lol

[@Marye1934]

Hermoso que hables de Jesús ❤ bendiciones gracias

[@rosetish2313]

Some of the new gospel music starting to sound like secular, I love the old school gospel the best

[@DannielovesJesus]

I am a pastor and in years past dealt with depression. But worship music is my go to. There is power is music and I want to edify my Spirt . Back in day I have listen to some trash . Glad to see creators that do their thing and give glory to the Lord🙌🏽🙏🏽✝️♥️

[@lesabyrd672]

I’m here for it! Feed that spirit! Prayer changes things!

[@happycurlhappygirl]

yesssssss!!!

[@LifeWIthCarmen]

Rayna, this was very refreshing to watch. So many creators shy away from sharing their faith out of fear of offending their followers. The holy spirit beckoned me to clean up my playlist and "eargates" this year as well. It has made a difference in me. Thanks for sharing your favs!

[@Quijuandas]

Yes indeed! As a woman of a particular age myself, I too have begun to make this shift. I say begun because ya girl ain’t perfect. If an old r&b classic sneaks through on the playlist, you just might get this body roll. Lol but actively seeking the things that are of God and being intentional about what I watch and listen to has given me so much clarity and allowed me to hear God more clearly. Setting my mind on things above has come with a sense of isolation but that’s exactly what it’s supposed to do. After all, God calls us to be set apart. We are not of this world. ❤

[@SaveWithMeLaShondaD]

Sis, we gotta protect our ear gates! We can't be listening to any and everythang!!! I totally understand why you only listen to gospel. I was already checked for what I was listening to.

[@timajahfloyd7427]

You definitely have to protect your ear gate! I understand completely.

[@MsMonique]

Yesss sis gospel and praise music all the way!!

[@AJAMarvel]

Wait, no more Brandy, though. That's a tough one. However, love the playlist and I pray that God lifts any dark clouds that may be hovering.

[@yalisam4522]

Same. What we consume, spiritually, will produce in our lives for the good or the bad. Thank you for sharing this. It's good to know others are doing the same. Praising God shifts our focus from our problems to the only real solution.💟

[@karinwells687]

It feeeeeeeedds your soul vs secular music that feeds the flesh ❤love this Rey !! PRAISE HIM 🥰🤩

[@Pamelayarnm]

Totally enjoyed you... will be checking out that music.. thank you..

[@KimWiz3000]

I haven’t cut out all of secular music but I understand. I am way more selective in the lyrics than most… always have been. I find myself a Gospel and Neo-soul kinda person.

[@CrystalMosby]

Same here. I find myself only listening to these two genres along with instrumental and vocal jazz. It helps so much with regulating my nervous system . ❤

[@ednalopez41]

Yes!!! Everything you are saying.. I went through the same thing! And listening to my gospel.. it helped me with my mental health! God is good, sis! This was a confirmation for me that I'm on the right path with God! And all the songs I have on my Playlist already! Look at God! Keep it up, sis.. speak about mental health. We don't talk about it.. and a lot of us can relate. ❤

[@choosechristina7975]

Yes you’re different and I love it! I’m glad you made this video!

[@karen_thorpe_ward]

You are right. Is called maturity. As we grow in Christ, we learn that everything is not for us. Gospel and Christian music is so therapeutic. It changes the mood. No matter how bad you feel, that worship music changes EVERYTHING!!! Even if just for a moment. I’m a PK (twice) and my husband is a Pastor. Aye, I love me some Jesus and I ain’t afraid or ashamed to admit it!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽. I have a “Gospel Workout” playlist. I have same God by Tye on my playlist too! Hype?! Heck yeah!! I have Uncle Reese, Kirk, Half Mile Home, so many. Love it and you! I’m in San Diego. Would love to link up. Oh, and I’m a “To!” Altos hold is dowwwwn!!

[@lelliesosa7039]

I really enjoyed this video. I love your playlist. I used to listen to secular music a few years back. Now I only listen to gospel music. It fills my soul. God has delivered me from depression I still get anxiety but not as much. Your hair came out really nice.

[@BleuJoy27]

Not the Erica Campbell, I Luh God 😂❤ that song just make me a different person 😂😂 this playlist is everything I listen to👍

[@LaDonna-nl6dm]

I’ve been on the same journey. I love Christian R&B.

[@ceeceewyms3148]

Words have power, and I wish more people would be mindful of that. Thanks for sharing 🫶🏽

[@melanieharris4262]

I stopped listening to secular music a few years ago and have never went back! My radio stays on NGEN radio now! It's so refreshing! I don't have to worry about my kids singing about drugs or sex or money, they sing along about Jesus and to them, that's the mainstream music! Lol

[@JnWfamily]

Love love love this playlist!! Already have it on lock and repeat!! Please keep sharing Christian bops please!!!

[@dixical3994]

God is so amazing! Just two months ago I started listening to gospel music and my life changed for the better.

[@sjerzgirl]

Yes! 1 Peter 2:9❤ I'm 45 and had to let go of secular music a few years ago. I got some new songs from you to add to my lists. Thank you beautiful and have a blessed day!

[@Godslight1970s]

Your caption reeled me in sis!! Well I've been a subscriber but this caption is refreshing. I've been convicted on listening to most secular music, so gospel and some really cool Christian rap has been in heavy rotation, praise The Lord🙌🏾❣️

[@SarahAllyn]

Your face when u turned on Lecrae 😂😂 I love all of it.

[@beedills2809]

You're having your own worship party with God - LOVE IT!! You're similar to me and you've come to grow who you are and standing in that no matter what other people may think or say! Keep shining Sis! ❤

[@valenciaphillips1684]

All of these comments and people didn’t ask about which podcasts she enjoys and recommends. Edit: I like the songs I recognized on your playlist and I enjoyed the editing of this video per usual. I will definitely check out the ones I wasn’t familiar with. It’s nice to rediscover your channel. Thanks for sharing this content. It was needed. 🔥👌🏽

[@disneytoysr4fun975]

I wish i could have a relationship with Jesus like you do.

[@Lordpraisethe]

YOU CAN! just pray and ask God to draw you closer

[@andreamitchell3199]

Im an 80s baby, so I understand. On a personal note, in my Christian walk; I was also struggling between Gospel music and Secular music. In my 20s I started to realize that Main-stream Christianity taught me how to be religious in my teens. Now, in my 30s. I allow Jesus to dictate to me who, he wants me to listen to and be influenced by, and his picks are not always in the mainstream Gospel media. Because we as Christians know who has dominion over the earth. We need to allow Jesus to be our Lord over our decisions. Not everyone is about that holy lifestyle, it shows up in the fruit. Besides Jesus wants us to guard our hearts and be renewed in our minds. Jesus knows about the hearts of men. I don't, so that is why, in all my ways I have to acknowledge Him and he will direct my path. Be bless in Jesus Name.

[@TootieT5073]

New Subscriber here. I came looking for curly hair tips and found a friend in Christ! I no longer listen to secular misic either. I listen to alot of the same songs but you put me on to more! Thanks for sharing ❤.

[@Crystal_curls85]

I have some of those songs on my playlist too. Along with a lot of Jonathan McReynolds and of course Fred Hammond.

[@mwright0428]

Girl I am with you! I hardly ever listen to secular music anymore. Gospel settles my spirit so much and I need that more than anything else. I keep it on maverick city musics pandora and built my playlist from there. If I’m not in the mood for music I just rode in silence and it has helped me so much

[@joannarichardson2534]

I love gospel and love this video!!!

[@makebayeargins4719]

I love u even more now for your "antics" girl!! We are so alike sis in Christ. My daughter and i love u very much. Greetings from Puerto Rico!😘🙏🏽🎉🇵🇷

[@mrsduke4239]

You have said a word today!! I'm highly sensitive also as was my mom. I used to hate that she didn't keep a lot of company at our house like other family. Now as an adult, I understand why❤❤. It's good for the soul when you know what's best for you and your peace! Thanks for your wisdom and sharing your Playlist!

[@NatashaCine]

Thank you for this amazing playlist. I have been listening to praise and worship music more and more. I haven't completely cut out secular music because the Lord sends me messages and answers my questions through music often. I hardly know the new kids in music that's for sure. Love the beginning chit chat ❤

[@thisnaturalgirlislocd]

TFS!!! Love it!!! I'm a proud introvert 😅 who also experience seasonal depression so music is an amazing coping mechanism and gospel music just Blessings and Feeds my soul/spirit in a way like no other. So please continue to share your Playlists Sis! You know Rayna... I've been having a hard time and trying to come through had to fight through this past weekend to Celebrate the 80th Birthday of my Bonus Grandmother and I did but this video/message right on time so Thank you! 🙏🏽🤍

[@REJM96]

Same girl! Gospel playlist all day, everyday around here too. Thank you for the recommendations I can add to my playlist.

[@reignaedwards5885]

Ima check out the playlist!

[@JnWfamily]

You are preaching!!!! I'm trying my best to keep up with what my daughter listens to and all these newer artists.... it's hard!! Lol

[@HighlyFavor3dWon]

Love it & added most of these songs to my Gospel playlist. Gonna always love you Boo, thanks for sharing! Been a part of the gang, staying a part of the gang! 🫶🏾♥️🙏🏾🥰

[@jenc9956]

Girl, alto here!, but also soprano. Thanks for sharing everything. God is amazing! and I am not saying that because I am a christian...He is amazing! I too am blessed with a discerning spirit; it is something what God allows us to see in others. The only secular music I listen to is old school songs (like back in the 70s and some 80s) there are some songs from now that are nice like Corinne Bailey Rae. Anyway, I am so proud of you for making that decision. Your soul and spirit is worth it. You are so hilarious. Blessings~

[@brandywilliams4302]

This video is ALL of why I love watching you!! Beautiful outside and inside!! We spiritual sister/friends In Christ!!😅🙏🏾

[@heykanhey]

I love the gospel music playlist conversation!!! Have you heard Madison Ryan Ward and SSTEDI? I feel like you would like them.

[@curlycoilyheaven]

Everything about this idea spoke to meeeeee! Because I love my gospel music, no matter the day, location none of that. & I definitely can relate to feeling alone and feeling like you can't relate to others. I'll defintely be adding some songs from this playlist and checking out the wholeeee playlist! Hey fellow Alto! Love you Raynaaaaaa!

[@kelliellington9738]

Amen’s to everything!!!

[@justluvme7]

Thanks for sharing. Gospel for me everyday too.

[@designsbydivas2014]

I used to sing in the church choir too. Team Soprano🙌

[@valtjones717]

Everything you said is ME! I know most secular songs because of social media. I learned during the Panni that I can’t listen to everything. Gospel is my 1st love! My spirit can’t handle nothing 🙅🏽‍♀️ aside from PJ Morton and I make no excuses about it!

[@reeseereece]

You may already be hip, but The Light by Mali Music will get you moving

[@BrummyGirl37c]

Your spirit can't take the demonic secular music. Mine can't either girl. They put messages in the music too.

[@CurlsofaCPA]

that nu revolution made me pause my work haha love it!

[@godcaresjab]

Yesssss, I appreciate it send on the worship! Thank you I needed some more gospel music in my arsenal

[@KenniJC]

You have to guard your mind out here. I haven't listened to secular music in yearss, the last Beyonce album I heard was Lemonade. If yall like gospel rap check out Eshon Burgundy, Darak Ibar and Hezekiyah... Fire! I do enjoy pastor Mike Jr too, Big is my song. I love Kelontae Gavin, My Testimony by him is such a powerful song. I enjoy Jonathan McReynolds, Mali Music, Madison Ryann Ward and Tori Kelly too... I hope this helps yall ❤️❤️

[@kimeshia]

Yassss I love it.. I love me some pastor Mike Jr, maverick city music, Todd galbert, Anthony brown &group therapy, and so much more. I’m glad you shared this because, I’ve been feeling a lot like this..thank you so so much for this!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Love this video Rayna! Thank you! I’ve been needing some new gospel songs to check out. A lot of the songs you did play are some of my faves too! Pastor Mike Jr🔥🔥

[@gabrielleotoo113]

I just happened to come across you and start looking at your tubes and this one is one I love. I so feel you when you say you do not like to be disturbed. When life happens to me my GOSPEL music really brings me through it all. Kirk Franklin Fathers Day really was made for him and I. Gospel is really my go to and I’m staying with it. Only God can get us through all. It’s all in His WORD and the lyrics 🥰

[@shelly.v.247]

This was awesome! Thank you so very much for sharing. I will be listening to your playlist in the gym! 💪🏽♥️💯

[@lyric1320]

Thx for sharing ur Playlist. Ck out Jordan Armstrong. He is the same vibe. His song with Erica Campbell- Call, You, Can't, Favor, Kawasaki (now this one will have you bouncing😊)😂, MY God, Favor,..nearly every album he has is bomb. I love Doe also.

[@choconethotcoco4717]

We're in the same boat cousin (I'm a Lawson). I don't listen to world music at all and I have a play list for when I really get into working out. I listen to a lot of the artists you listen to when working out but right now I'm also loving Tye Tribbett's NEW cd and some Chandler Moore and Maverick City songs. Detrick Hadden will get you moving if you need something to bump to when you trying to get that heart rate up.

I FEEL this more than you know. I don’t know many new artist, many of them are not my cup of tea. I grew up on secular ❤ LOVE ❤️ music. When I had my first son in 2000 I started listening to more gospel especially in the car because the radio 😢. Then I got XM radio in my new car. I believe that we must guard our eye and ear gates as the Bible instructs us too.

Love your transparency this is so relatable. As someone who also grew up in ministry ,had my "ratchet days" as well lol and is currently on a different journey with God this helps.
