Someone falling asleep at the movies during our date. Another incident happened where a man didn’t tell me he was in a wheelchair. I wouldn’t have minded if he was honest.
A guy who I thought I was just going as friends with to our school formals and then he stalked me for like 2 and a half years at church and even on my college campus 😬
I had a man pursue me endlessly and as soon as I said yes, he had a breakdown saying he still was soul-tied to his ex . I did so much self work to release that wall , just to be rejected … but what they say ? God’s rejections is His protection
I came here after watching Crystal Renee on B. Simone’s podcast and my thoughts are her sharing a piece of her story to Lecrae’s audience is a true blessing. The realness really blessed me which is why I am drawn to Sarah Jake’s Robert, Lecrae, Crystal Renee and the cast on Sista’s. I haven’t read the comments yet, so I don’t know what was said. But, I pray the voices of us who are in the business of lifting one’s spirit up rings louder than the others.
God doesn't want us swearing.. Colossians 3:8 NLT [8] But now is the time to get rid of anger, rage, malicious behavior, slander, and dirty language. And Ephesians 4:29 NLT [29] Don’t use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them.
I absolutely love the transparency in this interview!! It is amazing!! Definitely praying for Crystal and her walk with God. God is going to get the glory out of her life!!
I mean this in full love, I’ve been rocking with you since After the Music Stops (and will still). But we can’t compromise our values, and try to normalize it for Christians. Talking about sex out of marriage, cursing and other worldly acts in the same breath as talking about living for the Lord just doesn’t work. Fresh water and salt water can’t flow from the same spring. Let’s not promote sin, but rather promote holiness.
Can Christians ever rebuke & reprove without people calling them judgmental? Some are CALLED to do that. If everyone is ok with everything then who will ever correct us?
7 years ago I thought I was a man. Everyone told me I was and I felt more comfortable presenting myself that way. I never felt very feminine and always enjoyed doing things considered to be masculine and dressing that way. Thanks to the consistency of the love from my local church though, I was able to find my identity in Christ, and ultimately I made my fleshly identity to be one that reflected how God made me and not what the world said about me. Praise God for the work he has done in my life.🎉🎉🙌🙌🙏🙏🙏
I hope you are getting therapy though. On a serious note. I have been doing the research and the research suggests most people who have those feelings have those feeling for a reason and it’s usually environment, upbringing, or attitributed to a medical issue or disorder. For example, the research is showing once people who thought they were trans actually went to good therapists …they found out they were autistic. They are not trans but autistic but didn’t get the help they needed sooner. They are finding out all over the place trans people are being misdiagnosed!
It's always interesting, when the Holy Spirit of God convicts you of something, there's always someone there (the enemy) telling you that what you're doing is "ok" to do. The beautiful thing about God is, as you truly continue to seek him with your whole heart, he will show you his truth. I used to think "cussing" wasn't bad. I was a PROFESSIONAL at cussing!!🤭🤭 BUT God showed me that cussing was not of him at all. Think about it. When you think of the purity and holiness of God, cussing doesn't match the character of God. Can you imagine God cussing.😳 We're made in the image of God. Cussing doesn't represent God at all. If cussing was OK, why is it that true followers of Christ would NOT dare use a cuss word and Jesus name in the same sentence. Everything we say and do is accounted for. Colossians 3:8 NIV [8] But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. Ephesians 4:29 NIV [29] Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.
@@rudybrown8328 thanks for your response 💓 I believe there should always conviction but NOT condemnation. Conviction in our hearts allows us to realize if what we're doing is of God or not. It allows us the opportunity to make corrections.
Lecrae, please receive this in love, as I truly come in peace. When you have a platform of this magnitude and you are professing Christ, you have to be very careful. The Bible tells us that it is better to tie a millstone around our necks and cast ourselves into the sea than to create a stumbling block for babes in Christ. Matt 9:42. I say this because as a more seasoned believer, I believe this specific episode will cause many to stumble. There is discussion of cussing, drinking, and cohabitating outside of marriage. The Bible tells us to abstain from corrupt communications (Ephesians 4:29) and to abstain from even the appearance of evil (1 Thessalonians 5:22). I am not saying that it is sin to have a glass of wine, but Paul teaches us to be careful not to cause others to stumble. Romans 14:13. Many will see this episode, including those who struggle with drinking who should not be drinking and those who are fornicating, and think it is ok to keep doing these things. Where you both are in your sanctification process is between you and God, but when you profess Christ on a public platform and choose to speak on biblical topics, you are held accountable if you cause others to stumble. As a sister in Christ, I urge you in godly love to examine your heart and repent for the unbiblical teaching and conversation in this video. I would love to see you set fully on fire for God with no compromising the Word. We know it’s in you brother, but this is not it.
@LecraeOfficial I really enjoyed this conversation. It continues to highlight that we are all navigating the Christian walk, which is a lifestyle, and that we are at different points on the spectrum of becoming more like Jesus. I don't agree with every view and/ or comment shared but I definitely appreciate the honesty to discuss these topics. Based on the differencs in background, teaching and personal convictions, it was simply two Christians discussing the realities of their Christian walk. It isn't a sermon, but just a conversation.
@@deandreofficial Ha, not at all. As believers and followers of Jesus, our speech should be edifying and encouraging Holiness and Heaven. My girls and I talk and we are no lukewarm folks. We have lives but what takes preeminence is Christ, His word and His will. You would never hear us talking about our horoscope signs, cussing, attending a Beyonce concert, etc....this was such a babe in Christ talk, if that. As someone said, this video could lead a lot of young believers thinking sin is okay. The line between the Kingdom of God and this world was super blurred. Now the video with Jacky Perry and Priscilla Shirer was on point. So no I was not expecting a sermon; I was expecting a meaty conversation. Crystal did give me insight on where she stands spiritually so my job is simply to pray that she continues to grow in Christ and surrenders all.
Crystal, I say this in love, the enemy doesn’t care if you’re acting. When you use your body (which houses your spirit) as a vessel to act out different scenes that are opposed to God’s word..it’s sin. We all for short but we all have to really consider if what we do honors the Lord. If God was literally in flesh sitting in the room sitting next to you as you did the sex scenes, would you do them? If God was in flesh sitting next to you as you cursed, would you do it? Your heart felt convicted for a reason..don’t let anyone, not even another celebrity, family member, make you feel like you heard God wrong..read the word for yourself and his voice will be the only one that matters as you draw nearer to him❤️
Lacrae I love the way you told Crystal to wait till marriage. Even though you gave her a safe space to vent how she is because her emotions are valid and her vulnerability is helping someone else and herself. You still reminded her of the goal as believers ; which is to remain in gods promise and follow his word. Well done😊
Hi Crystal, I really enjoyed your interview. I wanted to tell you, don't listen to all the negative chatter. Lol, everyone has their own understanding of what being a Christian is. Lol If I can share my own experience. Fasting and being set apart as unto the Lord really showed me how to live a life that was pleasing to Jesus . That worked according to the measure of faith I had. You owe no man, nothing, you owe God everything. You are loved, beautiful, and congratulations on all your success. God bless you. 😊
I don't usually comment on people's posts and try to point out errors from people but this is very much misleading. I love and appreciate yall following Christ and totally appreciate the authenticity, it's commendable. But the part where the lady speaks about "where in the bible does it say we shouldn't cuss"? Girl, everywhere. Cussing is unwholesome talk, doesn't build up or edify anyone. It's perverse... I also was once a cusser but when Holy Spirit transformed me, I knew it wasn't right anymore. And if you want biblical reference... Ephesians 4:29 AMP [29] Do not let unwholesome [foul, profane, worthless, vulgar] words ever come out of your mouth, but only such speech as is good for building up others, according to the need and the occasion, so that it will be a blessing to those who hear [you speak]. Cussing is vulgar, foul, perverse and this scripture is totally against foul, vulgar and perverse speech and you'll find it all throughout the most of the writings of Apostle Paul. Let us not confuse the body of Christ.. Yes we are all growing but at some stage we have to take accountability for our actions. God bless you all.
I was gonna go haul out my bible to search for this very verse. It is true, we have to live by God's standard. Words are powerful so cursing is not helpful in any way. It is a no for me!
Judgmental Christians is why ppl don't come to church. She literally said nothing wrong. This was a great interview and kudos to her for her transparency on living a normal everyday life that both Christians and non Christians live and that is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. Imagine passing judgment on someone while having multiple issues yourself that need to be addressed and instead of drawing someone to Christ you push them away and further into whatever struggles they're already trying to get free from as it is.
Understand that what you are "navigating" is divisiveness. Money makes you have options that you explore, absent of full commitment to God. The Bible absolutely talks about corrupt communication and blessings and cursing. You are putting your own compromise on it. Luke warm, be hot or cold. When you feel a type of way when you're cursing...its conviction. Money gives you confidence away from God. I love you guys, but everyone is compromising. Straight and narrow is the way and few find it .
Thankyouuuu! I fully understand what she was saying on b simone's podcsst, comments people have left under the video are so hurtful, judgemental and outragreous! Very hard to find positive comments and people who are understanding enough to know everbody faith walk is different!!! As if ya'll have any right to judge and ya'll live in glass houses! We ALL have messed up, big shame people give the christians a bad rep😒🙄😑!! Do better! As YOU WILL BE judged by the master as well❤❤!
This interview was so awesome! How can you not love Crystal? She is so real. Full transparency!! I love her heart for people, and her laugh makes me laugh. 😅 My prayer is that God will continue to shower her with his blessings. ❤😊
I would like to spur you both (and every Christian watching) on in the faith. “I pray with great faith for you, because I’m fully convinced that the One who began this gracious work in you will faithfully continue the process of maturing you until the unveiling of our Lord Jesus Christ!” Philippians 1:6 TPT We all grow and mature as we continue to walk the journey with Christ. I love Peter and Paul’s stories. It gave me hope… and still gives me hope as I carry my cross daily. Who I am now is DEFINITELY NOT who I used to be. God is truly the God of great grace. May our words be seasoned with grace and oily with mercy. 🙏🏾💜
This pod cast was so flippy floppy I feel like like he conformed so bad in this like yall are literally trying to put God around everything but also leave him out so much while still keeping him around like we get it but are yall sure yall talking about the same God in the Bible.
Reading all these judgmental comments, like she literally said don’t hold her up on a high pedestal. God will work on whatever she needs work on. Look how Jesus called Simon then transformed him to Peter. God will send her a husband that will come to fill those gaps and strengthen and grow in Jesus together ❤
That conflict she was feeling was probably the conviction of the Holy Spirit, but she’s choosing not to listen to the Spirit and instead getting validation through man ( she mentioned her father and pastor. I wonder how biblically sound that pastor even is?) When you ignore the Spirit, the Voice will get quieter I pray that she truly yields to the Spirit. The church is certainly having an issue with being lukewarm
It's not the church, it's people. Likewise crystal has yield, God not force any of us to serve him completely. She knows too much already about holiness. Conviction is there and blessed hv Godly parents. End of day, she has make that choice
I’m excitedly waiting for God to blow Crystal’s mind with the man He is going to bless her with. She’s not only beautiful, but her heart is beautiful too.❤❤❤
I think its so interesting how people will be like… im not perfect I still like to have fun… as if being a christian and following all of the word (to the best of your human abilities) is boring and unfun 😂
Like no I dont follow the ways of the world in any capacity (dont drink, smoke, dress provocatively, i go to church regularly, dont curse, no premarital sex or masturbation, no porn, no gossip, i steer away from lustful thoughts as well as I can) but…. You act as if without those things there is no wholesome and spiritually fulfilling things to do. So much to experience outside of what satan uses to make us think God constricts us. IT IS FOR OUR GOOD 😂✝️
The comments are sick ! God is the only one who can judge . Keep doing the good work , God has a lot more in store for you . This was very honest , funny , and enjoying to watch .
There are so many things in this podcast that is error and will lead the people wrong. Pleaeee Lecrae I love you but use your words carefully and stick to the word. Don’t twist it
I agree that as the Bible says we are to be more christ-like. It's a tough thing to do that when you're walking around the flesh, not to make excuses for her. I do believe the best thing that we can do if we feel like she's going in the wrong path or maybe not sending the best example. Is for us to pray, prayer is a powerful thing. And keep in mind we're doing this because we love her, so it is in love that we do these things. Add her to your list of prayer requests, that's my advice
Its true what happens when a Godly man comes along! She didnt like the super churchy guy but someone that make believe in God but still living in sin she wants them to lead her. Hopefully she realizes what God's word says about the character and fruiys of the spirit we are to have and she looks for that. Because a man who really wants to live for God may not want to do some of the things she is ok with.
Why is it that no matter where you start in a conversation you ALWAYS end up bashing the church. There is a point where we grow up! Our testimony can't be we're trying to figure this out forever. Maturity exists in this walk with Jesus. Please promote that sometimes. You can't keep giving the same "I'm just trying to figure this thing out" speech forever. Holy Spirit grows us up and enables us to obey Him. I love you man. Can we progress in this walk with holiness and not be ashamed about it? Oh! Excellent interview skills.
I absolutely agree with this. With such a big platform, it’s so easy for young girls looking up to her to also feel like it’s okay to stay lukewarm whereas there’s so much room for growth in the kingdom of God. I get the idea of her not wanting to offend anyone by promoting inclusivity and I also do appreciate her just sharing her authentic journey with us. I guess what’s left of us is to just gracefully pray for her because we don’t know her real circumstances that have gotten her to make such decisions.
One thing I see them do is promote genuine love .. people go through different experiences and sometimes those experiences can cause someone to feel and think differently…belief is something that should be done authentically and one thing I also see them promote is authenticity.. religion is religion and church is church but God will always look at your heart no matter what..They are sharing their journey of seeking the kingdom while also acknowledging that they are not perfect because no one is . They don’t lack maturity,they are speaking THEIR truth about THEIR experiences and no one can change what they have experienced. This podcast could be perhaps a way of them seeking, and to be honest that is exactly what God wants us to do and is exactly what Jesus came on this earth to tell us “SEEK THE KINDOM OF GOD”.
I am disappointed with how this episode seems to glorify a lukewarm, compromising Christian lifestyle. We can’t have our feet in two pools. Crystal seems to enjoy tip-toe-ing the line… she doesn’t want to fully embrace biblical principles but she doesn’t want to be too sinful.
Like If I listened to this not knowing the word of God and how much He HATES certain behavior, I’d jump for joy. But because I know , I’m sad this is broadcasting to the masses
Sorry, being a holy roller, and im not judging just sharing a scripture: matthew 15: 11-20. Its not what goes into our mouths that defile us, but what comes out. Words are powerful.
It’s nothing wrong with sharing what you may struggle with. The confusion comes into play when we accept a lifestyle as if God has no power to bring about deliverance. The reprobate mind is one that has accepted sin as their identity and that is the enemies deception. Cause folks think the sin is who they are. At least acknowledge it, don’t accept it even if you struggle. Our boy David had this down pact lol
This grieves me. I think lukewarm and/or baby Christians don’t need a platform to talk about Christ, but need to focus on growing in Him, learning His words and His ways. I think there isn’t any malicious intent, but biblically this video is all over the place
I was grieved too. I watched it last night but felt compelled to read the comments this morning. So many babes in Christ are going to watch this and think, oh ok, the Bible says nothing about cursing, so Imma keep cursing. Lecrae has to be careful with his platform. Hopefully as Lecrae's channel grows, he will grow Spiritually.
You’re right on the target, sis! Lukewarm believers/baby Christians need discipleship…off camera! No platform needed as it may mislead others. Really sad to see
seriously. that was when i couldn't take it anymore. i was really trying not to be too judgey. but at that point i was wondering why Lecrae even had her on. I'm sure that was the moment he himself wondered that too
This explained the entire video so much. Everything she said was misleading for a “Christian” in the “light” as she said. Her saying her faith isn’t the end all be all made it all make sense. You don’t even believe Fully, no wonder you’re so lukewarm and deceived
Lovely interview with a great guest, everyone has their own personal convictions but for me after doing my own research I don’t identify with star signs or listen to Beyoncé anymore as for me, it doesn’t align with my Christian beliefs but everyone is on their own journey
I enjoyed this conversation! So many of the topics you guys touched on is what every day folks like me, who love Jesus, struggle with. These questions aren't being answered in church. We need more conversations like this!
This was tough to listen to. But the reality of it is that, a lot of Christians live our lives as such. I have been so convicted by this bc this is Not it.
Loved the interview 🙌 both of your leadership! This is REAL. Side note of encouragement: You are living your faith out loud in a world where most do not vocalize or display or discuss. This takes boldness, courage, & vulnerability to share your struggles and things you are facing in each season of your lives. Many will be appreciative of your interview. May you read the comments and pray for those casting judgements or criticizing the variety of sensitive topics you touched on. We are living in a new day & navigating new things at new levels where deception is high & false doctrine is present if even in the vein of parallel to 50 shades of gray literally to all the 50 religions of variations of Christianity. God will be who He is to us in every season & He reveals so many good things to us when we are in true relationship with Him. Clearly you are both yielding to God at the center of your decisions and life. Applying your faith 🙏 May God continue to use your voices for every person meant to hear ❤ and in love may you experience blessings on blessings 🙌
Omgosh soooo I had already seen this and was sooooo in love with it because of course I love both of these people! Great role models for sure! I don’t understand what others are feeling! I came back to watch after watching her with B and guysssss yall trippin on my girl! Hurt people hurt people. It’s sad! Listen yall happy people ain’t hating! This woman is growing everyday ! She’s successful and has made it where she’s always dreamed of being! Don’t do people like yall doing. Crystal you are the bomb girl and just like B said your relationship with God is Vertical NOT horizontal! Nothing to prove! Love you girly !
I just love Lecrae and Crystal!! The realness, honesty, integrity! I LOVE!! Fatima but Crystal is herself- awesome. Love Lecrae songs! I am loving this! Thank you both!
Dating is hard, Christian women don’t want Christian men and vice versa. Many people are two faced, claim to want something but in reality are looking for something else. Disingenuous, and unrealistic expectations and demands
I’m confused on why ppl was coming for her with this interview. I heard nothing wrong. Ppl are weird. Crystal keep doing your things. Block out the haters and keep shining. Love you boo❤
Well I guess I can see why ppl are coming for her I guess but I doubt they’re taken the speck (thought word and deed specks) out of their own eyes based the comments I’ve seen 🤷♀️
The way Tyler Perry has blessed this woman and the friendship they have cultivated is truly inspiring! It really lets us know there are still good individuals out there in the industry that are willing to mentor and guide without sexual favors. Amazing 🤩 ❤🙏🏾
But his shows and movies displays sexual content. He has a man who is married in real life with a family acting as a boyfriend who fornicates. Am I missing something??
She seems like a great person. I like her demeanor and sense of humor. I pray God helps her find the right person for her and that he continues to draw her closer to him.
The kinds of people we attract typically says something about ourselves. Either vet them better, or take responsibility for your role. Break patterns and cycles.
Good interview. Scripture concerning profane language being a sin: Colossians 3:8; The Greek word used for "filthy communication" is aischrologia which means foul language/speaking. Also good point about how not just those four letter curse words are considered foul profane language.
From reading the comments I’m glad it’s not just me, I had to turn this off, some things said are definitely not biblically right and didn’t sit well with my spirit. I like her, praying she’ll continue to grow and find a more excellent way in Christ.
This was a great video. No one is perfect. Everyone needs grace and we're all trying to get through life and we all make mistakes and we all do things to learn from and for all the self-righteous people in the comments please go have several seats people in glass houses should not throw stones and the grass is not always greener on the other side once again love this video.
Yo Crystal I FEEL you girl 😭 I'm 20 feeling the way you do, I relate to what you said, thank you crae for having such a good guest I love all your faithfulness in what you doing brother 🫶
This seems like a lot of compromise. I’m just wondering what type of message are trying to bring out to the world. Beyoncé literally said she uses the Bible as a tampon for her period. As a Christian how can you feel okay even seeing someone who disrespected our Lord. I don’t believe in horoscopes but I’m a “Libra” this is why it’s important to be in our bible. I’m not judging I’m simply telling you this is what I see. So if I see this imagine baby Christian watching this not getting the right message. I’m not saying the entire podcast is incorrect, but some things don’t align with the Bible. Same with cursing, we are to be set apart. Being a Christian that in it self should be enough.
EXACTLY WHAT I JUST SAID! Phew, I am so glad I take heed to sound bible teaching because is not even babe in Christ talk...this is "hashtag Christ when i feel like but ima do me daily"...but the Bible talks about this falling away and itchy ears to sound doctrine so lets keep praying...its only by the grace of God that we have grown from this carnal mindset.
I see a lot of people judging & many people not listening I grew up in church & I completely understand where they coming! Growing up in church and actually accepting Jesus & having a relationship with the Lord is different! I know many of us didn’t like to wake on a Sunday morning go to church etc, many of us being young went to church for our church friends to catch up & stuff! But i remember I told my mom one day that that wasn’t going to church anymore until I found Jesus for myself! And when I did I started going to church again I started to understand why we did all that we did growing up! Just cause kids / young adults be in the church don’t mean they know the Lord hence to why we used to be outside & be in church on Sunday morning 😂.
This was such an awesome interview. I can relate to Crystal in many ways. Being a daughter of the Lord is the Best place to be. However, it's definitely challenging being an educated, business professional, and a black woman over 40 in the dating world. Praying for our black men to strive for holiness in their lives and can still take you to a hip hop concert every now and then. Lol
I think the thing is, when you are truly striving towards holiness, things like a hip hop concert will have no appeal to you anymore. Most of the lyrics are terrible! I literally cringe at some of the songs I used to listen to. I can’t listen to them anymore like I once did when I was lukewarm. When you really consider that our bodies houses the Holy Spirit, His Spirit inside of you will become grieved hearing certain things.
Beautiful interview! I hope she finds a good Godly supportive man! 🙏🏾 May God send you a good one. The struggles discussed in this interview are real!😩
I LOVE HER! Such a pure and genuine soul. You see the light of Jesus shinning bright through her. Keep being AMAZING and using your platform to change lives. BLESSINGS AND SUCCESS FOREVER ❤️
It's so funny because I saw A Lot of judgemental comments from Christians. I feel like at 33:25 they addressed what it looks like being judged being public figures in the process. Giving God the glory, while being vulnerable showing where she is in her life, not being perfect, but dealing with being judged for trying her best.
A proud “Holy Roller” here 👏🏾 because I’m going to give God the glory everytime no matter what others may think! This video is misleading and exposing the behaviors of lukewarm and deceived “Christians”. Please read your word and have a personal relationship with God do not take what was being said in this video for fact. I see a lot of comments mentioning what is wrong in this video and they are correct but the comments are saying they don’t want to be “judgey” with their observations BUT John 7:24 tells us to judge righteously, not according to appearance but according to Gods word. If what is being said is not aligning with the word of God you ARE supposed to point your brother and sister in Christ in the right direction. “Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.”
I feel you all are taking this the ENTIRE wrong way. @Crystal Hayslett wants a Godly man or Man of God that knows how to live life AND be saved. “Churchy” people is a face. You can be completely saved and sanctified filled with the Holy Ghost and still live a sinless life which is what she wants. JESUS. A human!!!!
I would love to see a podcast on women of God living in purity while waiting on our husband. The thing about growing with God, the closer you get to him, the more you want to live holy. It’s not boring to live the way God commands. There is peace. God does forgive us, have grace, and gives us this life to bear fruit. Repentance is a beautiful gift of mercy. I love Jesus, but my number one desire is for him to tell me, “well done,” and the end of this life. I am still learning about the spirit realm, and still closing doors, covenants, altars that were made when I was willingly lukewarm. God have mercy on us all and help us to love and obey you more.
Look for those. But honestly, speaking as a minister myself,trust me, we push people away by thinking like this. Christians who can't be in church anymore is because we push them away with our religion. Honestly.
@@lifeinsights7695 some believers in Jesus want to walk in holiness and hear from women who are walking by example. All of us don’t want milk and watered down gospels. I’m not talking about Christianity…I’m talking about people who really want to do it the God of the Bible way. Amen.
It’s really a shame that so many other things were said in this conversation and it’s being overshadowed by cussing and sex scenes 🙄🙄 not the fact of she help ppl , businesses etc. everything else..the people in comments are great examples of what they speak about. That’s why it’s good to know god for yourself and continue to be best you can. People are always going have something to say!
There’s a lot of “good” people doing good things who will not see the Kingdom of God. What does it profit a man to gain the whole world but forfeit his soul People who are babes in Christ may look at this interview as an example of how to live a Godly life and could be led astray
I agree with your comments 100%. Hopefully it's not taking its judgment. She talked about working for 18 hours. I don't know that she has made enough time to really get into her word and let the holy Spirit give her the discernment that he wants to give her. I can definitely hear her love for the Lord, but I'm definitely concerned with the portals she has open into her life. I'm certain that God has a man set aside for her and hopefully she will spend some time seeking his face and getting discernment. She's really caught up in this celebrity world and I can understand the spirit there is blinding. I really do have a lot of love for her though as someone else said, these are opportunities to keep her in prayer and Lecrae
What's the worst dating experience you've ever had? 👀🫠
Someone falling asleep at the movies during our date. Another incident happened where a man didn’t tell me he was in a wheelchair. I wouldn’t have minded if he was honest.
Different types of deception and 💔.
A guy who I thought I was just going as friends with to our school formals and then he stalked me for like 2 and a half years at church and even on my college campus 😬
she told me that she forgot she has a boyfriend😂
I had a man pursue me endlessly and as soon as I said yes, he had a breakdown saying he still was soul-tied to his ex . I did so much self work to release that wall , just to be rejected … but what they say ? God’s rejections is His protection

God doesn't want us swearing..
Colossians 3:8 NLT
[8] But now is the time to get rid of anger, rage, malicious behavior, slander, and dirty language. And
Ephesians 4:29 NLT
[29] Don’t use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them.
Thank you for saving ne the research. I was definitely about to find the scriptures cause i knew it was in the Bible
Yeahhhh cuz, cursing definitely ain’t it. Why would a Christian want to anyway…
Previous guests have stressed how they want to pursue Biblical principles… this one was different… in a bad way
@@radianthaze5332 I clicked off after the talked about cursing.
Stop judging, she said she is not perfect a work in progress, where is the GRACE
Without holiness, no man will see the Lord. We have grace, but we can take the grace of God and use it for lasciviousness.
I absolutely love the transparency in this interview!! It is amazing!! Definitely praying for Crystal and her walk with God. God is going to get the glory out of her life!!
I mean this in full love, I’ve been rocking with you since After the Music Stops (and will still). But we can’t compromise our values, and try to normalize it for Christians. Talking about sex out of marriage, cursing and other worldly acts in the same breath as talking about living for the Lord just doesn’t work. Fresh water and salt water can’t flow from the same spring. Let’s not promote sin, but rather promote holiness.
Lecrae is a lukewarm compromiser with identity issues. He regularly excuses foolishness and acts like it’s grace and mercy 🙄
Amen
Totally!!
Agreed!!
100%
Can Christians ever rebuke & reprove without people calling them judgmental? Some are CALLED to do that. If everyone is ok with everything then who will ever correct us?
Fareal!
That part!!!! 👀👀
Exactly and truth will always offend those who don’t want to live it 🤷🏾♀️
Say it!!’ They don’t even want the preachers to correct anymore. Preach!
if you claim to be a SAFE SPACE platform, you got to let people be them without correcting them.
7 years ago I thought I was a man. Everyone told me I was and I felt more comfortable presenting myself that way. I never felt very feminine and always enjoyed doing things considered to be masculine and dressing that way. Thanks to the consistency of the love from my local church though, I was able to find my identity in Christ, and ultimately I made my fleshly identity to be one that reflected how God made me and not what the world said about me. Praise God for the work he has done in my life.🎉🎉🙌🙌🙏🙏🙏
Amen!
The way the church show you to be? Are you happy? Are you truly being you?
Praise God!🙌🏾
Hallelujah. To God be the glory.
I hope you are getting therapy though. On a serious note. I have been doing the research and the research suggests most people who have those feelings have those feeling for a reason and it’s usually environment, upbringing, or attitributed to a medical issue or disorder.
For example, the research is showing once people who thought they were trans actually went to good therapists …they found out they were autistic. They are not trans but autistic but didn’t get the help they needed sooner. They are finding out all over the place trans people are being misdiagnosed!
I appreciate Crystal for being transparent. It's difficult dating for everyone in their 40s, no matter who you are.
facts
It's always interesting, when the Holy Spirit of God convicts you of something, there's always someone there (the enemy) telling you that what you're doing is "ok" to do.
The beautiful thing about God is, as you truly continue to seek him with your whole heart, he will show you his truth.
I used to think "cussing" wasn't bad. I was a PROFESSIONAL at cussing!!🤭🤭
BUT God showed me that cussing was not of him at all.
Think about it. When you think of the purity and holiness of God, cussing doesn't match the character of God. Can you imagine God cussing.😳
We're made in the image of God. Cussing doesn't represent God at all.
If cussing was OK, why is it that true followers of Christ would NOT dare use a cuss word and Jesus name in the same sentence.
Everything we say and do is accounted for.
Colossians 3:8 NIV
[8] But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips.
Ephesians 4:29 NIV
[29] Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.
I love this response wholeheartedly. Nothing to add but so much to take away from this response. CONVICTION should play a part somewhere.
@@rudybrown8328 thanks for your response 💓
I believe there should always conviction but NOT condemnation.
Conviction in our hearts allows us to realize if what we're doing is of God or not. It allows us the opportunity to make corrections.
So beautiful and WORD filled ❤
Thank you for this because they were both so off about this topic
Amen
Lecrae, please receive this in love, as I truly come in peace. When you have a platform of this magnitude and you are professing Christ, you have to be very careful. The Bible tells us that it is better to tie a millstone around our necks and cast ourselves into the sea than to create a stumbling block for babes in Christ. Matt 9:42. I say this because as a more seasoned believer, I believe this specific episode will cause many to stumble.
There is discussion of cussing, drinking, and cohabitating outside of marriage. The Bible tells us to abstain from corrupt communications (Ephesians 4:29) and to abstain from even the appearance of evil (1 Thessalonians 5:22). I am not saying that it is sin to have a glass of wine, but Paul teaches us to be careful not to cause others to stumble. Romans 14:13.
Many will see this episode, including those who struggle with drinking who should not be drinking and those who are fornicating, and think it is ok to keep doing these things.
Where you both are in your sanctification process is between you and God, but when you profess Christ on a public platform and choose to speak on biblical topics, you are held accountable if you cause others to stumble.
As a sister in Christ, I urge you in godly love to examine your heart and repent for the unbiblical teaching and conversation in this video. I would love to see you set fully on fire for God with no compromising the Word. We know it’s in you brother, but this is not it.
Did you try to DM him this privately first?
Perfect diagnosis! What profits a woman to gain the whole world but loose her soul!
@@HighCRIhe didn’t speak about these things privately so a public note is perfectly fine
@@HighCRI good question. You may have good intentions but try reaching someone privately first
AGREED!!!!! Could not have said it better... Blessings!
@LecraeOfficial I really enjoyed this conversation. It continues to highlight that we are all navigating the Christian walk, which is a lifestyle, and that we are at different points on the spectrum of becoming more like Jesus. I don't agree with every view and/ or comment shared but I definitely appreciate the honesty to discuss these topics. Based on the differencs in background, teaching and personal convictions, it was simply two Christians discussing the realities of their Christian walk. It isn't a sermon, but just a conversation.
I’m convinced a lot of the people in the comments came expecting to hear a sermon 😂😂😂
@@deandreofficial Ha, not at all. As believers and followers of Jesus, our speech should be edifying and encouraging Holiness and Heaven. My girls and I talk and we are no lukewarm folks. We have lives but what takes preeminence is Christ, His word and His will. You would never hear us talking about our horoscope signs, cussing, attending a Beyonce concert, etc....this was such a babe in Christ talk, if that. As someone said, this video could lead a lot of young believers thinking sin is okay. The line between the Kingdom of God and this world was super blurred. Now the video with Jacky Perry and Priscilla Shirer was on point. So no I was not expecting a sermon; I was expecting a meaty conversation. Crystal did give me insight on where she stands spiritually so my job is simply to pray that she continues to grow in Christ and surrenders all.
Crystal, I say this in love, the enemy doesn’t care if you’re acting. When you use your body (which houses your spirit) as a vessel to act out different scenes that are opposed to God’s word..it’s sin. We all for short but we all have to really consider if what we do honors the Lord. If God was literally in flesh sitting in the room sitting next to you as you did the sex scenes, would you do them? If God was in flesh sitting next to you as you cursed, would you do it?
Your heart felt convicted for a reason..don’t let anyone, not even another celebrity, family member, make you feel like you heard God wrong..read the word for yourself and his voice will be the only one that matters as you draw nearer to him❤️
FACTSSSS SIS

AMEN & AMEN ❣️
You right, sis.
God bless 🙌 you

Lacrae I love the way you told Crystal to wait till marriage.
Even though you gave her a safe space to vent how she is because her emotions are valid and her vulnerability is helping someone else and herself.
You still reminded her of the goal as believers ; which is to remain in gods promise and follow his word.
Well done😊
I saw Crystal and I ran here swiftly.
Hi Crystal, I really enjoyed your interview. I wanted to tell you, don't listen to all the negative chatter. Lol, everyone has their own understanding of what being a Christian is. Lol If I can share my own experience. Fasting and being set apart as unto the Lord really showed me how to live a life that was pleasing to Jesus . That worked according to the measure of faith I had. You owe no man, nothing, you owe God everything. You are loved, beautiful, and congratulations on all your success. God bless you. 😊
I don't usually comment on people's posts and try to point out errors from people but this is very much misleading. I love and appreciate yall following Christ and totally appreciate the authenticity, it's commendable. But the part where the lady speaks about "where in the bible does it say we shouldn't cuss"? Girl, everywhere. Cussing is unwholesome talk, doesn't build up or edify anyone. It's perverse... I also was once a cusser but when Holy Spirit transformed me, I knew it wasn't right anymore. And if you want biblical reference...
Ephesians 4:29 AMP
[29] Do not let unwholesome [foul, profane, worthless, vulgar] words ever come out of your mouth, but only such speech as is good for building up others, according to the need and the occasion, so that it will be a blessing to those who hear [you speak].
Cussing is vulgar, foul, perverse and this scripture is totally against foul, vulgar and perverse speech and you'll find it all throughout the most of the writings of Apostle Paul. Let us not confuse the body of Christ.. Yes we are all growing but at some stage we have to take accountability for our actions.
God bless you all.
The person she is talking about is a "transformer" man identifying as a woman.. sooooo no logic there..
What part did she say that?
@@cutasz7:35 - 7:45
@@cutaszshe said it I heard her
I was gonna go haul out my bible to search for this very verse. It is true, we have to live by God's standard. Words are powerful so cursing is not helpful in any way. It is a no for me!
Judgmental Christians is why ppl don't come to church. She literally said nothing wrong. This was a great interview and kudos to her for her transparency on living a normal everyday life that both Christians and non Christians live and that is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. Imagine passing judgment on someone while having multiple issues yourself that need to be addressed and instead of drawing someone to Christ you push them away and further into whatever struggles they're already trying to get free from as it is.
Understand that what you are "navigating" is divisiveness. Money makes you have options that you explore, absent of full commitment to God. The Bible absolutely talks about corrupt communication and blessings and cursing. You are putting your own compromise on it. Luke warm, be hot or cold. When you feel a type of way when you're cursing...its conviction. Money gives you confidence away from God. I love you guys, but everyone is compromising. Straight and narrow is the way and few find it
.
Love this podcast, love Crystal! She is amazing! No judgment on anybody on their journey ,everyones journey is different.
Thankyouuuu! I fully understand what she was saying on b simone's podcsst, comments people have left under the video are so hurtful, judgemental and outragreous! Very hard to find positive comments and people who are understanding enough to know everbody faith walk is different!!! As if ya'll have any right to judge and ya'll live in glass houses! We ALL have messed up, big shame people give the christians a bad rep😒🙄😑!! Do better! As YOU WILL BE judged by the master as well❤❤!
This interview was so awesome! How can you not love Crystal? She is so real. Full transparency!! I love her heart for people, and her laugh makes me laugh. 😅 My prayer is that God will continue to shower her with his blessings. ❤😊
Where’s the edifying 😭😭
I didnt hear not one Bible verse
I would like to spur you both (and every Christian watching) on in the faith. “I pray with great faith for you, because I’m fully convinced that the One who began this gracious work in you will faithfully continue the process of maturing you until the unveiling of our Lord Jesus Christ!” Philippians 1:6 TPT
We all grow and mature as we continue to walk the journey with Christ. I love Peter and Paul’s stories. It gave me hope… and still gives me hope as I carry my cross daily. Who I am now is DEFINITELY NOT who I used to be. God is truly the God of great grace. May our words be seasoned with grace and oily with mercy. 🙏🏾💜
This pod cast was so flippy floppy I feel like like he conformed so bad in this like yall are literally trying to put God around everything but also leave him out so much while still keeping him around like we get it but are yall sure yall talking about the same God in the Bible.
Facts
I agree 😔
How?
Reading all these judgmental comments, like she literally said don’t hold her up on a high pedestal. God will work on whatever she needs work on. Look how Jesus called Simon then transformed him to Peter.
God will send her a husband that will come to fill those gaps and strengthen and grow in Jesus together ❤
The discourse among Christians is draining.
That conflict she was feeling was probably the conviction of the Holy Spirit, but she’s choosing not to listen to the Spirit and instead getting validation through man ( she mentioned her father and pastor. I wonder how biblically sound that pastor even is?) When you ignore the Spirit, the Voice will get quieter
I pray that she truly yields to the Spirit.
The church is certainly having an issue with being lukewarm
It's not the church, it's people. Likewise crystal has yield, God not force any of us to serve him completely. She knows too much already about holiness. Conviction is there and blessed hv Godly parents. End of day, she has make that choice

I 1000% agree with you ❤
So true
Like no I dont follow the ways of the world in any capacity (dont drink, smoke, dress provocatively, i go to church regularly, dont curse, no premarital sex or masturbation, no porn, no gossip, i steer away from lustful thoughts as well as I can) but…. You act as if without those things there is no wholesome and spiritually fulfilling things to do. So much to experience outside of what satan uses to make us think God constricts us.

She is NOT lukewarm. She is not saved at all. She needs Jesus Christ. Nothing she is saying is biblical or sound like she receive Jesus Christ.

I keep faith. It’s the size of a mustard seed when it comes to dating. But i keep the faith, My Brother in Christ.
LOVVEEE Crystal!! She’s a REAL ONE! Love her authenticity and honesty ‼️💯
The comments are sick ! God is the only one who can judge . Keep doing the good work , God has a lot more in store for you . This was very honest , funny , and enjoying to watch .
There are so many things in this podcast that is error and will lead the people wrong. Pleaeee Lecrae I love you but use your words carefully and stick to the word. Don’t twist it
Like what? Explain instead of judging and not giving detail. So what was an error?
He's not. Do you think you're hearing wrong?
@@PJ-hs5glShe isn't Judging, she is simply telling the truth.
@@musikatre I said what I said. Miss me with it
I agree that as the Bible says we are to be more christ-like. It's a tough thing to do that when you're walking around the flesh, not to make excuses for her. I do believe the best thing that we can do if we feel like she's going in the wrong path or maybe not sending the best example. Is for us to pray, prayer is a powerful thing. And keep in mind we're doing this because we love her, so it is in love that we do these things. Add her to your list of prayer requests, that's my advice
Its true what happens when a Godly man comes along! She didnt like the super churchy guy but someone that make believe in God but still living in sin she wants them to lead her. Hopefully she realizes what God's word says about the character and fruiys of the spirit we are to have and she looks for that. Because a man who really wants to live for God may not want to do some of the things she is ok with.
Then he is not the man for her
I love you Crystal!!! Thank you for being your authentic self in your PROCESS!
Why is it that no matter where you start in a conversation you ALWAYS end up bashing the church. There is a point where we grow up! Our testimony can't be we're trying to figure this out forever. Maturity exists in this walk with Jesus. Please promote that sometimes. You can't keep giving the same "I'm just trying to figure this thing out" speech forever. Holy Spirit grows us up and enables us to obey Him. I love you man. Can we progress in this walk with holiness and not be ashamed about it? Oh! Excellent interview skills.
Yesss
Exactly!!! It is time to MATURE. We can't forever be babies. I mean at this point we KNOW better!
@@beingroxylike
I absolutely agree with this. With such a big platform, it’s so easy for young girls looking up to her to also feel like it’s okay to stay lukewarm whereas there’s so much room for growth in the kingdom of God. I get the idea of her not wanting to offend anyone by promoting inclusivity and I also do appreciate her just sharing her authentic journey with us. I guess what’s left of us is to just gracefully pray for her because we don’t know her real circumstances that have gotten her to make such decisions.
One thing I see them do is promote genuine love .. people go through different experiences and sometimes those experiences can cause someone to feel and think differently…belief is something that should be done authentically and one thing I also see them promote is authenticity.. religion is religion and church is church but God will always look at your heart no matter what..They are sharing their journey of seeking the kingdom while also acknowledging that they are not perfect because no one is . They don’t lack maturity,they are speaking THEIR truth about THEIR experiences and no one can change what they have experienced. This podcast could be perhaps a way of them seeking, and to be honest that is exactly what God wants us to do and is exactly what Jesus came on this earth to tell us “SEEK THE KINDOM OF GOD”.
I am disappointed with how this episode seems to glorify a lukewarm, compromising Christian lifestyle. We can’t have our feet in two pools. Crystal seems to enjoy tip-toe-ing the line… she doesn’t want to fully embrace biblical principles but she doesn’t want to be too sinful.
That's not what this is. It's about a journey and how to navigate that. You don't follow the biblical principles all the way. Nobody does.

That part! #fully!
God can handle that.
Sorry, being a holy roller, and im not judging just sharing a scripture: matthew 15: 11-20. Its not what goes into our mouths that defile us, but what comes out. Words are powerful.
@crystal you are changing lives for the better. Keep it up and to allll the negative energy KEEP IT POSITIVE SWEETIE!
It’s nothing wrong with sharing what you may struggle with. The confusion comes into play when we accept a lifestyle as if God has no power to bring about deliverance. The reprobate mind is one that has accepted sin as their identity and that is the enemies deception. Cause folks think the sin is who they are. At least acknowledge it, don’t accept it even if you struggle. Our boy David had this down pact lol
It’s not who you’re attracting, it’s who you are attracted to. Take that responsibility on yourself and begin to make your change.
Yes because if a dude caught your eye because of his Rolex…you’re going to fall for people with certain spirits
This grieves me. I think lukewarm and/or baby Christians don’t need a platform to talk about Christ, but need to focus on growing in Him, learning His words and His ways. I think there isn’t any malicious intent, but biblically this video is all over the place
But they should. Just like you saying what you're saying is here in the comment section of a UA-cam video...
@@moorefitness7271 I’m neither lukewarm nor a babe in Christ, but thank you
I was grieved too. I watched it last night but felt compelled to read the comments this morning. So many babes in Christ are going to watch this and think, oh ok, the Bible says nothing about cursing, so Imma keep cursing. Lecrae has to be careful with his platform. Hopefully as Lecrae's channel grows, he will grow Spiritually.
You’re right on the target, sis! Lukewarm believers/baby Christians need discipleship…off camera! No platform needed as it may mislead others. Really sad to see
@@AHeapOfSalt this comment is disgusting
"my faith is not the end all be all" was the worst part 😅
seriously. that was when i couldn't take it anymore. i was really trying not to be too judgey. but at that point i was wondering why Lecrae even had her on. I'm sure that was the moment he himself wondered that too
Literally SAD!!
This explained the entire video so much. Everything she said was misleading for a “Christian” in the “light” as she said. Her saying her faith isn’t the end all be all made it all make sense. You don’t even believe Fully, no wonder you’re so lukewarm and deceived
Lovely interview with a great guest, everyone has their own personal convictions but for me after doing my own research I don’t identify with star signs or listen to Beyoncé anymore as for me, it doesn’t align with my Christian beliefs but everyone is on their own journey
“Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving” Ephesians 5:4
Yes I thought of this scripture too
Bible thumper at its finest!!!
I enjoyed this conversation! So many of the topics you guys touched on is what every day folks like me, who love Jesus, struggle with. These questions aren't being answered in church. We need more conversations like this!
This was tough to listen to. But the reality of it is that, a lot of Christians live our lives as such. I have been so convicted by this bc this is Not it.
It’s not
I made a Lecra diss song on my channel listen to it
I felt every bit of what Crystal was saying!! I feel I’m in the same boat on some things!
Loved the interview 🙌 both of your leadership! This is REAL. Side note of encouragement: You are living your faith out loud in a world where most do not vocalize or display or discuss. This takes boldness, courage, & vulnerability to share your struggles and things you are facing in each season of your lives. Many will be appreciative of your interview. May you read the comments and pray for those casting judgements or criticizing the variety of sensitive topics you touched on. We are living in a new day & navigating new things at new levels where deception is high & false doctrine is present if even in the vein of parallel to 50 shades of gray literally to all the 50 religions of variations of Christianity. God will be who He is to us in every season & He reveals so many good things to us when we are in true relationship with Him. Clearly you are both yielding to God at the center of your decisions and life. Applying your faith 🙏 May God continue to use your voices for every person meant to hear ❤ and in love may you experience blessings on blessings 🙌
This was such a beautiful conversation ❤

Dating is hard, Christian women don’t want Christian men and vice versa. Many people are two faced, claim to want something but in reality are looking for something else. Disingenuous, and unrealistic expectations and demands
I’m noticing this more & more
I’m confused on why ppl was coming for her with this interview. I heard nothing wrong. Ppl are weird. Crystal keep doing your things. Block out the haters and keep shining. Love you boo❤
Well I guess I can see why ppl are coming for her I guess but I doubt they’re taken the speck (thought word and deed specks) out of their own eyes based the comments I’ve seen 🤷♀️
The way Tyler Perry has blessed this woman and the friendship they have cultivated is truly inspiring! It really lets us know there are still good individuals out there in the industry that are willing to mentor and guide without sexual favors. Amazing 🤩 ❤🙏🏾
But his shows and movies displays sexual content. He has a man who is married in real life with a family acting as a boyfriend who fornicates. Am I missing something??
I love Krystal Renee. You have inspired me in so many ways. Thank you for being vulnerable and telling your story.
A few minutes into the conversation....Even your speech should Glorify God.
AGREED!
She seems like a great person. I like her demeanor and sense of humor. I pray God helps her find the right person for her and that he continues to draw her closer to him.
Me too
The kinds of people we attract typically says something about ourselves. Either vet them better, or take responsibility for your role. Break patterns and cycles.
Good interview. Scripture concerning profane language being a sin: Colossians 3:8; The Greek word used for "filthy communication" is aischrologia which means foul language/speaking. Also good point about how not just those four letter curse words are considered foul profane language.
What an inspiration! I have a new type of respect for you girl🙏🏾🙌🏽

From reading the comments I’m glad it’s not just me, I had to turn this off, some things said are definitely not biblically right and didn’t sit well with my spirit. I like her, praying she’ll continue to grow and find a more excellent way in Christ.
This was a great video. No one is perfect. Everyone needs grace and we're all trying to get through life and we all make mistakes and we all do things to learn from and for all the self-righteous people in the comments please go have several seats people in glass houses should not throw stones and the grass is not always greener on the other side once again love this video.
This was such a good podcast. I love how Crystal moves❤
Yo Crystal I FEEL you girl 😭 I'm 20 feeling the way you do, I relate to what you said, thank you crae for having such a good guest I love all your faithfulness in what you doing brother 🫶
This is a good episode but …..drum roll you gotta bring on your other half now Lecrae!
This seems like a lot of compromise. I’m just wondering what type of message are trying to bring out to the world. Beyoncé literally said she uses the Bible as a tampon for her period. As a Christian how can you feel okay even seeing someone who disrespected our Lord. I don’t believe in horoscopes but I’m a “Libra” this is why it’s important to be in our bible. I’m not judging I’m simply telling you this is what I see. So if I see this imagine baby Christian watching this not getting the right message. I’m not saying the entire podcast is incorrect, but some things don’t align with the Bible. Same with cursing, we are to be set apart. Being a Christian that in it self should be enough.
EXACTLY WHAT I JUST SAID! Phew, I am so glad I take heed to sound bible teaching because is not even babe in Christ talk...this is "hashtag Christ when i feel like but ima do me daily"...but the Bible talks about this falling away and itchy ears to sound doctrine so lets keep praying...its only by the grace of God that we have grown from this carnal mindset.
One thing I love about Crystal is how she loves God.❤
Supporting Crystal through it ALLLLLL 💛💛 I love her 🫶🏾
I see a lot of people judging & many people not listening I grew up in church & I completely understand where they coming! Growing up in church and actually accepting Jesus & having a relationship with the Lord is different! I know many of us didn’t like to wake on a Sunday morning go to church etc, many of us being young went to church for our church friends to catch up & stuff! But i remember I told my mom one day that that wasn’t going to church anymore until I found Jesus for myself! And when I did I started going to church again I started to understand why we did all that we did growing up! Just cause kids / young adults be in the church don’t mean they know the Lord hence to why we used to be outside & be in church on Sunday morning 😂.
Listen here a whooooole lot of judging 😅
Love you, Lecrae, and thank you for all you do 😊
This was such an awesome interview. I can relate to Crystal in many ways. Being a daughter of the Lord is the Best place to be. However, it's definitely challenging being an educated, business professional, and a black woman over 40 in the dating world. Praying for our black men to strive for holiness in their lives and can still take you to a hip hop concert every now and then. Lol
I think the thing is, when you are truly striving towards holiness, things like a hip hop concert will have no appeal to you anymore. Most of the lyrics are terrible! I literally cringe at some of the songs I used to listen to. I can’t listen to them anymore like I once did when I was lukewarm.
When you really consider that our bodies houses the Holy Spirit, His Spirit inside of you will become grieved hearing certain things.

It's so funny because I saw A Lot of judgemental comments from Christians. I feel like at 33:25 they addressed what it looks like being judged being public figures in the process. Giving God the glory, while being vulnerable showing where she is in her life, not being perfect, but dealing with being judged for trying her best.
I came for the comments and yall did not disappoint. 😂 This was genius adding Christian to the title for the views.
A proud “Holy Roller” here 👏🏾 because I’m going to give God the glory everytime no matter what others may think! This video is misleading and exposing the behaviors of lukewarm and deceived “Christians”. Please read your word and have a personal relationship with God do not take what was being said in this video for fact. I see a lot of comments mentioning what is wrong in this video and they are correct but the comments are saying they don’t want to be “judgey” with their observations BUT John 7:24 tells us to judge righteously, not according to appearance but according to Gods word. If what is being said is not aligning with the word of God you ARE supposed to point your brother and sister in Christ in the right direction. “Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.”
Love the essence and personality of Crystal Renee Hayslett. Always real! 🫶🏾🤍
Homegirl from around the way frfr
At first I saw an athlete for Crystal but now I see an entrepreneur for her, maybe someone in real estate
Amazing episode! I was blessed by this! Thank you both for your honesty! ♥️
All ears and I love this coming from one of my favorite rappers @lecrae ❤
I can’t talk I’m trying to work out my own salvation with fear and trembling. Carry on✌🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾 I’m progressing not perfect
Hard part want good man but not too churchy!! Do u really want Godly man??
This
Great question!! That’s the meaning of lukewarm… in my opinion.
Modern women🍵
I feel you all are taking this the ENTIRE wrong way. @Crystal Hayslett wants a Godly man or Man of God that knows how to live life AND be saved. “Churchy” people is a face.
You can be completely saved and sanctified filled with the Holy Ghost and still live a sinless life which is what she wants. JESUS.
A human!!!!
@@keeslermyers7338 I came here just to say this. 😂❤
I'm glad the Lord reached down to me! Loved this interview!! 🔥❤🔥
This was good to see. Good authentic conversation. She was dope.
Happy blessed Thursday Lecrae!🙏🏾🖤
We love Crystal!! Sending positive vibes.
I would love to see a podcast on women of God living in purity while waiting on our husband. The thing about growing with God, the closer you get to him, the more you want to live holy. It’s not boring to live the way God commands. There is peace. God does forgive us, have grace, and gives us this life to bear fruit. Repentance is a beautiful gift of mercy. I love Jesus, but my number one desire is for him to tell me, “well done,” and the end of this life. I am still learning about the spirit realm, and still closing doors, covenants, altars that were made when I was willingly lukewarm. God have mercy on us all and help us to love and obey you more.
Look for those. But honestly, speaking as a minister myself,trust me, we push people away by thinking like this. Christians who can't be in church anymore is because we push them away with our religion. Honestly.
@@lifeinsights7695 some believers in Jesus want to walk in holiness and hear from women who are walking by example. All of us don’t want milk and watered down gospels. I’m not talking about Christianity…I’m talking about people who really want to do it the God of the Bible way. Amen.
WOW! This was. blessing to watch. One of my favorite conversations by far. So much truth, passion and genuine love.
It’s really a shame that so many other things were said in this conversation and it’s being overshadowed by cussing and sex scenes 🙄🙄 not the fact of she help ppl , businesses etc. everything else..the people in comments are great examples of what they speak about. That’s why it’s good to know god for yourself and continue to be best you can. People are always going have something to say!
There’s a lot of “good” people doing good things who will not see the Kingdom of God. What does it profit a man to gain the whole world but forfeit his soul
People who are babes in Christ may look at this interview as an example of how to live a Godly life and could be led astray
I agree with your comments 100%. Hopefully it's not taking its judgment. She talked about working for 18 hours. I don't know that she has made enough time to really get into her word and let the holy Spirit give her the discernment that he wants to give her. I can definitely hear her love for the Lord, but I'm definitely concerned with the portals she has open into her life. I'm certain that God has a man set aside for her and hopefully she will spend some time seeking his face and getting discernment. She's really caught up in this celebrity world and I can understand the spirit there is blinding. I really do have a lot of love for her though as someone else said, these are opportunities to keep her in prayer and Lecrae
This gotta be the most lukewarm convo I’ve heard this year. A prayer circle with Beyoncé is wild!
