Meet John

John shares that despite being a pastor’s son – he wasn’t interested in God or spiritual things. He pushed God away and hated everything and everyone that reminded him of Christianity. John talks about his involvement with drugs, fighting and encountering the law. God used an assault on John to help him reassess his life. John describes finally believing in the gospel and talking to God whom he had pushed away for so long. Now as a believer in Jesus, John has a radically different perspective on life. He understands the purpose of life and looks forward to his eternal rewards in heaven with Jesus.

Meet Lecrae

Lecrae tells his story of hard-heartedness, hip-hop, and the negative effects of not having a father in his life. God showed Lecrae his worth to Him and radically changed the direction of Lecrae’s life.

Lecrae is a very successful hip-hop artist. He shares that the biggest issue in his life was his need for significance. This stemmed from not ever knowing or meeting his father. Lecrae describes his passion for hip-hop growing up, and how he lived a reckless life of alcohol, crime, and girls. He thought very negatively about the Bible and Christians until he encountered Christians who he could relate to. Lecrae heard the message of what Christ did for him, and he trusted in Jesus as his Lord and Savior. Lecrae talks about how he asked God to help him get out of the rut he was in. He also speaks about how he has found all his significance and worth in God. He wants to keep close to his Father in heaven and help other troubled youth through his music.
