Lecrae's Journey: Running from God, Letting People Down, & Reconstructing Faith | Ep.37

Описание: In this deeply personal conversation, we sit down with 4x Grammy Award-winning artist Lecrae to find clarity on his faith and journey. From a turbulent childhood and early run-ins with the law to becoming a trailblazer in Christian hip hop, Lecrae opens up about his rise to fame, his battles with public perception, and the raw process of deconstructing—and reconstructing—his faith.

We dive into what it means to wrestle with doubt while still clinging to grace, how Lecrae’s trip to Egypt sparked unexpected spiritual clarity, and why transparency and authenticity matter now more than ever in Christian spaces. Plus, Lecrae shares what’s next for him personally and creatively, and how he continues to engage culture while staying grounded in truth.

This episode isn’t just about music—it’s about redemption, resilience, and finding hope in Jesus.
