I as well grew up without social media. It's good for our minds and hearts. I'm so glad Lauren mentioned this topic. It's something that the world needs to hear.🧐
YES, YES, YES!! A 1000 YESES!! I took Lauren's advice and did a social media fast as well, also fasted from the news. It was the most peaceful and centered I've felt in a long time! I found I don't miss it at all and barely get on anymore. I'm more engaged and present with those around me. Totally recommend it!!
Your simply an amazing singer. God has giving you the gift of vocals. That's how you are reaching out to your fan base. Reaching out to the millions of people that love your desire, your friendship and devotion to God. The way you put it into words reaches more than social media will ever do for you. God bless you Lauren Dagle and keep singing for our God. One day this craziness will all be over and it's them we will be singing to our Lord and savior. That's the GREATEST gift of all. By the way I love your passion you have when you sing to our Lord and savior. God bless and to many more blessed days to come. 🙏😇🙏
I agree Social Media probably takes up most time throughout our days. Me I try not to be on social media. It's a Trigger for me on what is happening in the media right now makes me mad so I try to avoid it. I'd rather be spending time with people and building up relationships. And making new relationships.
Well said, social media is ruining the lives of our children and grandchildren. Need more positive influences like you in the world. You truly are an old soul in a young body.
A great self reflection, thanks for sharing. But please don’t stop sharing your music. You are a communicator, speaking and spreading God’s word, and through you I have found a path that I thought I had lost many years ago. God speaks through you Lauren, in my mind that makes you an angel. So,,, please please don’t stop. And thank you fore such beautiful music with so much truth,,,, you improve my life with every play of your music.
I don’t watch TV so if I do anything I listen to the Word on you tube etc. yes I scroll through sm. I’ve heard of others doing this. Good reminder of where we need to put our time. At the same time we can use it as a tool to share God with others.
I'm off social media too for the most part except a little UA-cam to listen to your beautiful praise and worship to Jesus. I ❤ having the freedom of not comparing myself to others as well. My social media purge came 5 years ago when I got really sick and I couldn't be a part of what my friends and family were doing. It left me heartbroken and depressed feeling very alone most of the time. After I got off, Jesus found me and I'm never alone now. I only started recently looking at UA-cam during quarantine last March to search out more worship songs 🎵 and I didn't even realize for the longest time that there was a comment section on the channels. I do put out a comment every now and then but its been in balance. And here I am 5 years later still dealing with a debilitating chronic illness....I'm able to handle it with accepting and adapting better. But getting off all social media is what helped because I'm really close to Jesus now that's made the biggest change in my life ✝️💟✝️
So true. Thank you for sharing these thoughts 🙏 Love your music. I also read this quote somewhere “Don't Compare Your Life to Others There's No Comparison Between the Sun and the Moon They Shine When It's Their Time”
I have been free from social media for 3 years now. Deleting my profile was the best decision I’ve ever made! My husband is a truck driver and works 14hr shifts. I would scroll to take my mind off of him. This would consume pretty much my entire day. I was one of those people that posted about everything. What I should of been doing, is spending all my extra time with our four kids. I found myself going down a dark hole, comparing my life to others. I would get very emotional about seeing other families spending time together on weekends. I would start arguments with my husband asking him how can you leave us. I began to hate my life. We decided to move because I needed a change and that’s when we left social media. I laugh more now than I have ever before. I do more activities with my kids now. We have a better routine. I don’t worry about what other people are doing, instead I focus on what my family needs spiritually, emotionally and physically. I’m learning God’s ways. How God wants me to live my life and raise our children. Your voice has been an inspiration to me. I’m currently involved in the praise team. I’ve been told that I need to sing your songs because I sound the most like you. Hahah in my dreams. Your voice is breath taking and I hope one day I can be half the singer you are.
Tonya, thank you for posting. My story is similar in how social media made me feel too. Only I never could have children and I have no husband. 5 years ago I got very sick and had to get off social media because I felt so alone and depressed. I couldn't do all the things others could anymore it was more than I could bear. But during that alone time Jesus found me! Here I am 5 years later still dealing with a debilitating chronic illness but so much more balanced and I have been able to accept what is snd adapt to my life now and praise and worship (Lauren's songs are some of my favorite 🙌) music 🎶 to Jesus there is no comparison now in my life.
I just ended a 10 week social media fast. Literally today. I've had the app downloaded on my phone about 3 hours, but I'm about to roll on out again. 🙏✌🕊🌻🌄🙌🏼
i just clicked youtube and this was recommended to me. God works in ways we can explain not. I have been fasting too from social platforms and i felt like giving up today. This video is a big deal to me. my objective was to find me and allow God give me an identity because i realized i had allowed people to define me. Am glad i am getting to know my abilities and source that gift which God blessed me with. Thanks Daigle.
Yes!!!! Thank you for sharing your experience with this. I have learned to step away from social media some especially on not so happy days. You are a beautiful soul❤ God bless!!
Amen 🙂 I try to make a habit of limiting my time on, even just surfing the net. It takes away from sooo many other things that we can be missing out on ya know? God Bless
Randy Wilson Yesssss! I know there’s a good side on it, for example: I am from Brazil and you are from somewhere else in the world too and look, we’re talking... BUT, we miss a lot when we spend a lot of time on social media. I've been enjoying my time doing better things, I even found out that I can paint pictures. 😂 do you believe it?! Lol .... amen! God bless you brother!
@@brendagomes8325 Very true... 🙂 WoW 😍 That's pretty sweet... 👍 I cant draw a stick figure 🤔😂🤣😋 My dad was a really good artist, I guess it's just not my gift..? 🤷🏻♂️😁
To everyone reading this Jesus loves you sm that He died for you! I pray you surrender to Him! Have a blessed day!! You’re so loved 💖💖 He is a God of free will and will only come in if you invite Him! Know His love today, just say “ Lord Jesus right now i give you my life! Please come into my heart and forgive me of my sins. I want to know you” I pray y’all turn from your sin and seek Him (reading your bible, fasting, ect) you’re so loved!!! We are now brothers and sisters in Christ!!💖
Amen! I haven't updated or uploaded anything in over 17 months, I don't use Facebook and Instagram is the only social media platform I have on my phone other than UA-cam and I rarely use both! It's been enlightening to say the least and it really connects you with what matters! It was like flushing a toxin from my body. Family and friendships had a more endearing and intimate quality when you didn't have instant access to everyone's lives. You'd think it would create better relationships but in truth it leaves nothing for want and eradicates the need for an actual connection.
Thank you for sharing this! It's a lesson I immediately shared with my 15 year old daughter in hope that someone other than dad would resonate with her. Unfortunately the fear of missing out - FOMO- is a powerful driver of human emotion and behaviors. Lauren is so right to recognize how it can be a time sink that takes us further away from the precious and finite time we have to spend with others, in Gods word, or just with ourselves having "me time". Blessings to all.
Lauren you don’t need to worry about that stuff I think you are a AMAZING person and your songs have inspired me and God bless your soul you are blessed with the Lords love
I have done the same thing and it is a big relief. To stay away from toxic energy and not get caught up in the constant scrolling. I have been able to channel my thoughts and energy in other ways. Reading, writing, gratitude and investing time with God. Staying unplugged helps me plug in to other areas of my life and focus on serving others. Thank you for this post. 🙏
It feels great wen I stay away from social media... You get to know more about family members....helping them in evry way dat u can..esp during these difficult times. More important is to get to know God and thank Him for all his blessings inspire of this pandemic. God bless you more
We love you Lauren Daigle just the way you are. My husband and I love the fact you are from Louisiana because that is where my husband grew up. The food from there remind me of home.
I did a DTS with YWAM and we didn’t had our phone for 2 months of outreach and it was hard but also so goooooood!!! I can relate to what Lauren is saying.. ❤️❤️❤️
Lauren, you're such a blessing. Thank you for being the voice. I have seen and read about people who struggle with this specific topic. I want to say time is running out for everyone; make the most of the time that God has given you. I myself as 24 yrs grew up without social media and I'm living free indeed.🤭 MY ADVICE: IF I CAN THEN YOU CAN! Love 💕 U all From NC.
You missy have no idea how you impact my life through your music even in my weakest storms gods strength is proof of my anchor . thank you . with much respect god bless .
It's amazing how free we can feel when we disconnect from social media. All true here! I used to be on regularly and now, I really don't have the desire to. There is a sttong negative energy emanating from the device I feel I feel whenever i jump back on to my page...just feels yucky. Blessings Love and Light to you! 💫💥💖💥💫
Yaaas!!! Lauren personally I’ve been trying to stay off of toxic social media platforms and let me tell you it has changed my life as well ❤️ May God continue to bless you and thank you for sharing your personal experiences with us 💕
I think you are an amazing inspirational woman of God. Your songs have meant more to me than you know. I live on 80 acres on the river in the Ozarks. The Lord had me unplug. It’s good. I do have a YT channel and it’s all positive. God bless your steps. Maybe you will get to meet the people you lead to Christ when you see him. Keep crushing it!
Good for her. I know a friend who literally goes from facebook to snapchat, then instagram. She spends all her time on social media. In the music business so much is on social media now. I hope she can enjoy life without it.
Social media will not “Rescue” you. Sometimes it will tell you “you’re not enough” or that “you will never measure up.” So “look up child” and put away this life enjoy the sweetness of THE LIFE.
Love you, Love your vids. Praying you stay safe out there. May God bring you nothing but BLESSINGS💚💚💚!!! Your songs are my biggest encouragement & support! It's been 1week & 3days to stop smoking weed, cigarettes & drinking. I stopped cold turkey. It's been a struggle. I'm done running from my problems. I'm done numbing my pain. Satan will not prevail. Satan will not have control over my life. Thank you for your AMAZING voice & your inspirational songs. I'm done believing the lies of Satan. I will overcome my addictions with God. He is my strength!!!
My sweet Lauren! You are such a blessing in my life! I can't sing, LOL 🤣 my poor family has to hear me sing along with you EVERYDAY! EVERYDAY I LISTEN TO YOUR MUSIC OF HOPE 💗❤️💜💕 I LOVE YOU, GOD BLESS U. YOUR BIGGEST FAN, LALY
You are so talented. I heard your songs few months ago. Too intelligent lyrics.Congrats and keep being inspirated like that.God bless and protect y'all. Greetings from Rio de Janeiro-Brazil. Bye.
I love your top! It I love your message above all. I’m happy a lot of people are aware of how social media is not a necessity. It can be a block in our daily life and can create such restrictions to our minds, bodies and souls. I’ve been social media free for about 2 years now! I only have a UA-cam account and i have truly grown even closer to god by that alone. Not to mention reading the Bible and praying.
Giiiirrrrlll, I had to do the same thing! I had to leave social media almost two months ago because of the same reasons along with all the negativity I kept seeing. I felt it was hurting my soul. Life has been soooo much better.
Amen .i do it too as often as I can and I found out their is so many things God want to reveal to us and when we keep too much focus on social media we miss it .And really when I am away from it ,I realize it is not so much of an importance .
I am trying to spend my time on the talents God gave me lauren your amazing and I belive that kids can spread the word of God to adults I feel the talents God gave me are singing and playing the piano I am 12 and I love your music
This is fabulous! I have been off of Instagram and Facebook for almost three years now and it has released me and freed me on so many levels. Keep it up Lauren! 🙌🏻😊
Shalum Lauren, Balance and what you do with social media is vital. Sharing Truth Of Scriptures. One focus and connection.... You are True YahsharAL. Allah is the Tree of Life in Hebrew...not yiddish. There is a huge difference. You Are The Called Out.... Set-a-side. Hold fast, there is more to come.
That is something that everybody should do, are true have found myself losing time scrolling through social media, getting out enjoying people or even helping others is a lot better use of time.
I think that’s great and you learn more about yourself, I myself don’t go on it as much and you see you will be more less stress you will spend more time with your love ones. God Bless you all and be safe. 🙏❤️
What wonderful advice young lady. Absolutely beautiful. The life of Christ just bursts from you. What a breath of fresh air you are. Hope to see you in Ft. Wayne in March. I hope "Here's My Heart" is one of the songs. 😋
THANK YOU SO MUCH for making this video! I teach Technology in a Christian School in Charlotte, NC. We are always trying to find relevant videos for the kids to watch about the effects of screen-time on their mental/emotional health, (videos are just much more effective than just listening to statistics). I have been able to find a few good ones, but they are always presented from a secular point of view. It would be SO helpful, if more Christian personalities would share their thoughts on this issue.....especially someone like Lauren Daigle, whom most Christian teens consider "cool"! I am around teens all the time because I work in Youth ministry as well (& I also have had 4 teenagers of my own).....and the problems with the phones is at an all time EPIDEMIC level. Please pray for this generation of young people.
I have learned how life is better with Jesus than things on Facebook. Pregnant with multiples and cancer which God will heal when he takes us home. Jesus will make things so much better. Was on dr Phil show for this nearly 7 years of pregnancy your songs keep me strong. I believe
So true so true. Hahaha hahaha the last part is a killer tho hahah you deserve an oscar award for that. God bless you dear we love you we thank God God for giving us your songs. May your grace multiply and be abundant that ever.
Love her music!! Been listening to her music for years. Love her laugh , basically everything about her is special !! Yeah, I'm single and I can say that about her 😁🌹
@Abc C I'm not sure why, but I could speculate why, people always go to the second answer Christ gives when asked, what's the greatest commandment, the first is Love the Lord your God with all your heart soul and might. The second is like it, love your neighbor as yourself. Love God first and foremost. If you can't do that then loving your neighbor will get you nowhere. Lauren's actions/inactions have caused many to question her true faith in Jesus Christ. From not calling homosexuality a sin, not wanting to be called a Christian artist, and most recently aligning herself with Billie Eilish. Nonetheless, she needs praying for like anyone.
@@williamallen5369 God has blessed her with an interesting platform to use or not use to witness with. It is a rare thing to have crossover influence into mainstream culture. This is a singer who acknowledged from her teens never wanted to be in the CCM industry. But God had different plans and has given her fame that is finally getting noticed by the secular world. Do you think the best thing, the most God reflecting thing (the thing that might draw people to Him) Lauren could say to that newfound audience is "Homosexuality is a sin."? No. There are probably a hundred better things to talk about. Because some Christians are so hung up on one or two sins, those first and second commandments you mentioned are hardly ever practiced in view of the non believing world. She never intended to be a Chistian recording artist. There is no shame in leaving CCM and to just be a musician if she ever chooses that. Just as most of us are not Christian lawyers, Christian software engineers or Christian grocery clerks. The majority of Christians work at secular jobs. And they change jobs and careers at a similar rate of non Christian's. Why are musicians of faith ONLY expected to do worship music? Why if they do something else they are "selling out" or "are losing faith"?! God has allowed a young Christian to create music that can be admired by a wide audience....similar to how God allowed Trump to become President with all his moral shortcomings. Lauren is in the middle of this cool thing that God is doing, but so many of her fellow Christians are tainting the display of God's will by criticizing her, putting their own judging hearts on display in media and on public forums such as this....overshadowing what God might be doing.
You are genuine and real. It’s a big deal to hear a plain spoken person live out Christian values without using Christianese rule based religious talk. Take care, keeping singing His Song & HV A God night!
Hi Lauren, I’ve watched a few of your videos and took interest in this one because of what I was hoping to see. I can credit you for taking 21 days to “fast” from social media. However, what did you replace it with? Did you use the new window of time for spiritual growth and improve upon your relationship to God and encourage others to do so? I didn’t hear a peep of that on here. In fact, it all sounded pretty self-centered before and after your “fasting” period. I agree it’s good to spend time away from social media - as an info maniac myself I know what it can do to us. But if you’re gonna fast, what is the plan for growth during the fast and what new path will God have for me/you from here? Social media adjustment is fine but how are your redeeming the time now that you have new opportunity to spend time in your walk with God? If you’re the Christian artist many think you are - don’t be interested in the things of the world. Live for Jesus and don’t be afraid to talk about it. The days of deflection Christianity are over.

Everyone.........had a better life than me and it made me feel like I was a loser...... Since staying off social media I have actually gotten so many things done and every day I feel more accomplished and better about myself. Lauren I think you are awesome and was so disappointed your Toronto concert was cancelled but I do listen to your cds in the car all the time and love your music. So nice of you to notice and mention how well Roberta Battaglia from Toronto sang "You Say" on AGT. Such a beautiful song.
Amen indeed I use no social media no face book tweet nothing because i knew it’s purpose upon conception your blessed and highly favored and remind me of times at home in the south
Yes! You miss nothing! Social media is ruining us. I have been off FB for 3 years now. Its the best. I always felt less than. Feel so much better without it! I hope more people ditch it. Its not good for us
Ditching social media has been one the biggest positive impacts on my day to day life. Glad to hear others are experiencing the same uplifting experience
You do realize that UA-cam is a part of Social Media right?

After I watched this video 7 months ago, I decided to try it. I guess the 21 day fast became a year fast. Life changing!
Amen! I haven't updated or uploaded anything in over 17 months, I don't use Facebook and Instagram is the only social media platform I have on my phone other than UA-cam and I rarely use both! It's been enlightening to say the least and it really connects you with what matters! It was like flushing a toxin from my body. Family and friendships had a more endearing and intimate quality when you didn't have instant access to everyone's lives. You'd think it would create better relationships but in truth it leaves nothing for want and eradicates the need for an actual connection.
Thank you for sharing this! It's a lesson I immediately shared with my 15 year old daughter in hope that someone other than dad would resonate with her. Unfortunately the fear of missing out - FOMO- is a powerful driver of human emotion and behaviors. Lauren is so right to recognize how it can be a time sink that takes us further away from the precious and finite time we have to spend with others, in Gods word, or just with ourselves having "me time". Blessings to all.
Lauren you don’t need to worry about that stuff I think you are a AMAZING person and your songs have inspired me and God bless your soul you are blessed with the Lords love
You don't just sing beautiful songs,you have an amazing advice for us too. Thanks Lauren. We love you.
Useful insights into this video. Thanks Lauren 🤍
I have done the same thing and it is a big relief. To stay away from toxic energy and not get caught up in the constant scrolling. I have been able to channel my thoughts and energy in other ways. Reading, writing, gratitude and investing time with God. Staying unplugged helps me plug in to other areas of my life and focus on serving others.
Thank you for this post. 🙏
It feels great wen I stay away from social media... You get to know more about family members....helping them in evry way dat u can..esp during these difficult times. More important is to get to know God and thank Him for all his blessings inspire of this pandemic. God bless you more
We love you Lauren Daigle just the way you are. My husband and I love the fact you are from Louisiana because that is where my husband grew up. The food from there remind me of home.
I did a DTS with YWAM and we didn’t had our phone for 2 months of outreach and it was hard but also so goooooood!!! I can relate to what Lauren is saying.. ❤️❤️❤️
Lauren, you're such a blessing. Thank you for being the voice. I have seen and read about people who struggle with this specific topic. I want to say time is running out for everyone; make the most of the time that God has given you. I myself as 24 yrs grew up without social media and I'm living free indeed.🤭 MY ADVICE: IF I CAN THEN YOU CAN! Love 💕 U all From NC.
You missy have no idea how you impact my life through your music even in my weakest storms gods strength is proof of my anchor . thank you . with much respect god bless .
Words of wisdom and words of inspiration ✌🏼
It's amazing how free we can feel when we disconnect from social media. All true here! I used to be on regularly and now, I really don't have the desire to. There is a sttong negative energy emanating from the device I feel I feel whenever i jump back on to my page...just feels yucky. Blessings Love and Light to you! 💫💥💖💥💫
I totally agree! It was one of the things I started doing (spend less time on social medias), and my day is so much productiver now.
Yaaas!!! Lauren personally I’ve been trying to stay off of toxic social media platforms and let me tell you it has changed my life as well ❤️ May God continue to bless you and thank you for sharing your personal experiences with us 💕
Love to see that you bring this topic and love you and respect you the most
Such a gifted young woman. I thank God for her talents.
This is so important to realize and to adopt. Beautifully said. Thank you for this! 🥰

I am happy that you are back! 😎😍
I think you are an amazing inspirational woman of God. Your songs have meant more to me than you know. I live on 80 acres on the river in the Ozarks. The Lord had me unplug. It’s good. I do have a YT channel and it’s all positive. God bless your steps. Maybe you will get to meet the people you lead to Christ when you see him. Keep crushing it!

Good for her. I know a friend who literally goes from facebook to snapchat, then instagram. She spends all her time on social media. In the music business so much is on social media now. I hope she can enjoy life without it.
We love you Lauren daigle
Just started my fast!
I serve a bold and jealous God! Wake up Lauren!!!!!!
Social media will not “Rescue” you. Sometimes it will tell you “you’re not enough” or that “you will never measure up.” So “look up child” and put away this life enjoy the sweetness of THE LIFE.
This is the best video I've seen in a long, long time.

Love you, Love your vids. Praying you stay safe out there. May God bring you nothing but BLESSINGS💚💚💚!!! Your songs are my biggest encouragement & support! It's been 1week & 3days to stop smoking weed, cigarettes & drinking. I stopped cold turkey. It's been a struggle. I'm done running from my problems. I'm done numbing my pain. Satan will not prevail. Satan will not have control over my life. Thank you for your AMAZING voice & your inspirational songs. I'm done believing the lies of Satan. I will overcome my addictions with God. He is my strength!!!
My sweet Lauren! You are such a blessing in my life! I can't sing, LOL 🤣 my poor family has to hear me sing along with you EVERYDAY! EVERYDAY I LISTEN TO YOUR MUSIC OF HOPE 💗❤️💜💕 I LOVE YOU, GOD BLESS U. YOUR BIGGEST FAN, LALY
You are so talented.
I heard your songs few months ago.
Too intelligent lyrics.Congrats and keep being inspirated like that.God bless and protect y'all.
Greetings from Rio de Janeiro-Brazil.
Bye.
I love your top! It I love your message above all.
I’m happy a lot of people are aware of how social media is not a necessity. It can be a block in our daily life and can create such restrictions to our minds, bodies and souls.
I’ve been social media free for about 2 years now! I only have a UA-cam account and i have truly grown even closer to god by that alone. Not to mention reading the Bible and praying.
I love you woman!
God bless you, you are awesome!!!!
I'm praying for you
I deactivated all my social media accounts 2 months ago and it feels so good. My goal is to do this until the end of this year.
Giiiirrrrlll, I had to do the same thing! I had to leave social media almost two months ago because of the same reasons along with all the negativity I kept seeing. I felt it was hurting my soul. Life has been soooo much better.
God Bless her and her music 🎶💕
Amen .i do it too as often as I can and I found out their is so many things God want to reveal to us and when we keep too much focus on social media we miss it .And really when I am away from it ,I realize it is not so much of an importance .
I am trying to spend my time on the talents God gave me lauren your amazing and I belive that kids can spread the word of God to adults I feel the talents God gave me are singing and playing the piano I am 12 and I love your music
I haven't had social media in years. Welcome to the club
This is fabulous! I have been off of Instagram and Facebook for almost three years now and it has released me and freed me on so many levels. Keep it up Lauren! 🙌🏻😊
I do take some days off. This is a smart ideal to take 21 days off.

Shalum Lauren, Balance and what you do with social media is vital. Sharing Truth Of Scriptures. One focus and connection.... You are True YahsharAL. Allah is the Tree of Life in Hebrew...not yiddish. There is a huge difference. You Are The Called Out.... Set-a-side. Hold fast, there is more to come.
That is something that everybody should do, are true have found myself losing time scrolling through social media, getting out enjoying people or even helping others is a lot better use of time.

So many Brazil people here! Love that ❤️ You guys are fire 🔥
I think that’s great and you learn more about yourself, I myself don’t go on it as much and you see you will be more less stress you will spend more time with your love ones. God Bless you all and be safe. 🙏❤️
What wonderful advice young lady. Absolutely beautiful. The life of Christ just bursts from you. What a breath of fresh air you are. Hope to see you in Ft. Wayne in March. I hope "Here's My Heart" is one of the songs. 😋
The end is so emotional. I almost started crying.
🤣🤣🤣
THANK YOU SO MUCH for making this video! I teach Technology in a Christian School in Charlotte, NC. We are always trying to find relevant videos for the kids to watch about the effects of screen-time on their mental/emotional health, (videos are just much more effective than just listening to statistics). I have been able to find a few good ones, but they are always presented from a secular point of view. It would be SO helpful, if more Christian personalities would share their thoughts on this issue.....especially someone like Lauren Daigle, whom most Christian teens consider "cool"! I am around teens all the time because I work in Youth ministry as well (& I also have had 4 teenagers of my own).....and the problems with the phones is at an all time EPIDEMIC level. Please pray for this generation of young people.
I have learned how life is better with Jesus than things on Facebook. Pregnant with multiples and cancer which God will heal when he takes us home. Jesus will make things so much better. Was on dr Phil show for this nearly 7 years of pregnancy your songs keep me strong. I believe
So true so true. Hahaha hahaha the last part is a killer tho hahah you deserve an oscar award for that. God bless you dear we love you we thank God God for giving us your songs. May your grace multiply and be abundant that ever.
Amen 🙏.
I’ve been social media free for a good minute.
I might be going!! I cant wait to see you!😁
hey you should subscribe to my channel help grow my channel ua-cam.com/channels/gyXp0OnY12p88KGhnOfePQ.html?view_as=subscriber god bless you thank you
Ok I will try thank you
Love her music!! Been listening to her music for years. Love her laugh , basically everything about her is special !! Yeah, I'm single and I can say that about her 😁🌹
I pray you find your way back to Jesus or find him for the first time. Eternity is forever, don't sell out.
So true Jesus all the way love him 💘
@Abc C I'm not sure why, but I could speculate why, people always go to the second answer Christ gives when asked, what's the greatest commandment, the first is Love the Lord your God with all your heart soul and might. The second is like it, love your neighbor as yourself. Love God first and foremost. If you can't do that then loving your neighbor will get you nowhere. Lauren's actions/inactions have caused many to question her true faith in Jesus Christ. From not calling homosexuality a sin, not wanting to be called a Christian artist, and most recently aligning herself with Billie Eilish. Nonetheless, she needs praying for like anyone.
@@williamallen5369 God has blessed her with an interesting platform to use or not use to witness with. It is a rare thing to have crossover influence into mainstream culture. This is a singer who acknowledged from her teens never wanted to be in the CCM industry. But God had different plans and has given her fame that is finally getting noticed by the secular world. Do you think the best thing, the most God reflecting thing (the thing that might draw people to Him) Lauren could say to that newfound audience is "Homosexuality is a sin."? No. There are probably a hundred better things to talk about. Because some Christians are so hung up on one or two sins, those first and second commandments you mentioned are hardly ever practiced in view of the non believing world.
She never intended to be a Chistian recording artist. There is no shame in leaving CCM and to just be a musician if she ever chooses that. Just as most of us are not Christian lawyers, Christian software engineers or Christian grocery clerks. The majority of Christians work at secular jobs. And they change jobs and careers at a similar rate of non Christian's. Why are musicians of faith ONLY expected to do worship music? Why if they do something else they are "selling out" or "are losing faith"?!
God has allowed a young Christian to create music that can be admired by a wide audience....similar to how God allowed Trump to become President with all his moral shortcomings. Lauren is in the middle of this cool thing that God is doing, but so many of her fellow Christians are tainting the display of God's will by criticizing her, putting their own judging hearts on display in media and on public forums such as this....overshadowing what God might be doing.
@@visualpun650 BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO!!!!
visualpun650 well said!
You are genuine and real. It’s a big deal to hear a plain spoken person live out Christian values without using Christianese rule based religious talk. Take care, keeping singing His Song & HV A God night!
I have been 4years off social media and I feel Good!
Hi Lauren, I’ve watched a few of your videos and took interest in this one because of what I was hoping to see. I can credit you for taking 21 days to “fast” from social media. However, what did you replace it with? Did you use the new window of time for spiritual growth and improve upon your relationship to God and encourage others to do so? I didn’t hear a peep of that on here. In fact, it all sounded pretty self-centered before and after your “fasting” period. I agree it’s good to spend time away from social media - as an info maniac myself I know what it can do to us. But if you’re gonna fast, what is the plan for growth during the fast and what new path will God have for me/you from here? Social media adjustment is fine but how are your redeeming the time now that you have new opportunity to spend time in your walk with God? If you’re the Christian artist many think you are - don’t be interested in the things of the world. Live for Jesus and don’t be afraid to talk about it. The days of deflection Christianity are over.
😘❤️❤️❤️ I love you Lauren.!!

Thanks Lauren 💖💖💖
Everyone.........had a better life than me and it made me feel like I was a loser...... Since staying off social media I have actually gotten so many things done and every day I feel more accomplished and better about myself. Lauren I think you are awesome and was so disappointed your Toronto concert was cancelled but I do listen to your cds in the car all the time and love your music. So nice of you to notice and mention how well Roberta Battaglia from Toronto sang "You Say" on AGT. Such a beautiful song.
Amen indeed I use no social media no face book tweet nothing because i knew it’s purpose upon conception your blessed and highly favored and remind me of times at home in the south
Thank you for sharing❤️
