Yes! I used to LOVE rap music. I had a playlist on Apple Music of over 300 songs that I listened to frequently and was always adding to it. One day, some time after giving my life to Christ, I played my music and felt extremely convicted by the lyrics. I’m very particular about the music I listen to now. I don’t listen to much secular music now because it just feels so empty, I don’t know how to describe it.
The music doesn’t hit the same once you hear how broken and how lost the artists actually are. I still have rap songs but there messages going through screening
Go check KB, Lecrae, Trip Lee and Mali Music. KB: "Armies" and "Let it reign" Lecrae: "Zombie" and "Gravity" (Gravity is album name, but there's a song called gravity) Trip Lee: "All Rise up" and "Billion years" Mali Music: "Let go" and "Fight for you" I just named you two songs from each artist you can check if you want. Songs are Christ centered so don't worry about it! Ofcourse, if you feel like it's time to give up on rap music for good so be it then, but not all rap music is bad music in a sense that's going to make your relationship with Christ worse. God bless!
Been there before and deleted the secular music playlist I had on Spotify made a Christian playlist with good Christian songs u can check it out it’s called Christian Favs on Spotify
As a 19 year old who is obsessed with music I would listen to all the secular artists you could think of Beyonce, Nicki Minaj, Chris Brown, Rihanna etc and I remember my dad always reminding me to listen to Christian content and telling me that you are what you feed your soul, some time back I bumped into a UA-cam video of exposing the secular industry and they were playing all these famous songs backwards and to say I was creeped out is an understatement the lyrics were so demonic and scary I was so disgusted that I used to sing along to such dark music. Ever since my dad has been guiding me to my path of salvation... It's not easy but Jesus said that the gateway to heaven is like a pinhole and not everyone will go through and my only prayer is I live right and seek His kingdom for the greater reward in heaven
Right? I'm 20 and also listened to the same stuff. Actually recently saw Beyonce's new music, and it was so anti-christianity. I was shocked I ever even listened to her.
We should make an “Amen Family” Spotify/Apple Music playlist!! I feel like that’d be very good for people who are new believers or people who have never listened to “Christian music” and don’t know where to start.
They have a very beautiful marriage, and family. I pray that some day I can have that. Maybe on the new earth? This world is ending and I know I can’t have that here but I trust Jesus’s plan for me. 😊God bless! 💙🙏🏻
I remember my flesh used to feel so good whenever I would listen to secular music, and I would have crazy imaginations of me being rich, and having all these things that I ever wanted, I used to imagine things, because I've never had those things, so I would imagine having them, and every time I would get done listening to secular music, I felt convicted, like I felt guilty, because I knew it was wrong to listen to it, but I still was listening to it because it felt good to my flesh. If you are struggling to stop listening to secular music, keep striving and letting God fight this battle, just face it, yes it's hard, but with God it's too easy
I’m so glad to here I’m not alone.. I’ve been imagining things like that as well. Lusting after a life that I don’t have & never thought the music I listen to could be apart of the reason I can’t stop. Like I would spend hours on end if I could imagining different scenarios of myself. I pray your journey to stop listening to secular music is successful ! God bless 💗
@@ashleybaity1239 That sounds like maladaptive daydreaming disorder. Which is something I constantly struggle with. Music is my trigger and will push me to pace my house while listening to secular music. I would imagine different scenerios and placing fictional characters in them. Needless to say, it would give me a rush while doing this. It would go on for hours, and I feel very convicted before, during and after this whole thing. It would happen everyday. It's hard to stop. Been praying and promising to God to stop.
Something I think we should be careful of is listening to sad music when we are sad. Sometimes it could be the enemy trying to bring you more down by worsening your mood with sad/angry music
Back in 2019, I received Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior but even tho I had gotten saved I was still smoking weed and still living in the world. I went to a music festival called California Roots that same year in Monterey, CA with my then girlfriend (who today is now my wife). On the last day of the music festival we were watching an artist named Tash Sultana who is a very talented multi-instrumentalist and singer and she has a somewhat psychedelic sound to her music. During her set me and my wife were high and I felt really uneasy during her set. Everyone around us was obviously under the influence of some drug or psychedelic because every one around us were like zombies and I can see everyone just swaying back and forth like they were being hypnotized. Suddenly there was a silence in my mind and the Holy Ghost came upon me and warned me to be careful what type of music you listen to because you don’t know whether the music can be coming from the Holy Spirit or demonic spirits. The week after we returned home from our trip I got baptized in the name of Jesus Christ and have since then been delivered from smoking weed and I only listen to Christian music. Only recently this year in 2022 me and my wife started smoking weed in March and it was about maybe 3 or 4 months and we were delivered a second time from smoking weed. I pray that this testimony will bless someone.
@Quincy I most definitely agree with the the people above me. Rivers and Robots is one of my favorites. Jonathan Ogden is one of the members of Rivers and Robots and his music is really good as well. Bluegrass Brethren, Zach Williams, Ben Fuller, Benjamin Williams Hastings to name a few
@@quincy9977 I really like the older songs of Amy Grant, like "El-Shaddai" and "in a little while" when I've had my fill of fast-paced contemporary music.
The hardest thing for me is not judging others for their music choices, and figuring out how to respond when I’m with people playing music I wouldn’t choose to listen to on my own. It’s obviously especially hard when it is a Christian friend, or someone even closer like a SO. Such a big area of disagreement.
Plant little seeds, and also if they love you they are going to respect you, you don’t have to push anything on them just ask them to respect yours. Not easy for everyone but will definitely make you feel much better then just dealing with it. And you’ll be planting small seeds
with family also. It's a challenge especially when in a long trip. I'll just put my headphones or ask if I can play some worship songs, still, a struggle but there's no impossible with God.
JESUS loves you all GOD is doing 10,000 things in your life that you can't see but he is always working you are made in GODs image you are beautiful and unique ❤
Right now I'm 13, and I don't really listen to much rap instead I listen to like chill vibe music, when I'm reading a book or the Bible or during a hoop sesh, and I thank you for this video. Blessings unto you 🙏🏿
We love to hear it and i pray God keeps you blesses you and causes his face to shine upon you.But hey don't call yourself delusional we are fearfully and wonderfully made :)))
@@stayblessed2 bro I love Kieran the light!! I love his song forgiven!!! U should check out Caleb Gordon he's my favorite!!! Take care God bless and merry Christmas!!!
I listen to a Christian artist Redimi2 (a Hispanic artist) and in one of his songs says “be careful of what the eyes see, David by the window is Bathsheba” and yeah, I think in these times we’re bombarded in every sense and we should be much more aware of what we consume.
I’ve been getting closer to my faith within the past several months and I never realized how deeply impactful what we consume whether it’s entertainment and our surroundings. I realize how subtle it can alter your mood, the seed it plants, and such. I’ll most certainly be praying to guard my heart as best as I can!
This is why it’s important to stay in the Word because God speaks to us through HIS Word! - Philippians 4:8 8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
The enemy controls so much of the music industry and artists, symbols and hidden messages in music videos and back masking being used in music if you play it backwards. I use to be a huge fan of all types of mainstream music but now I check out the artists and what their message is before I listen just so I guard my heart because the music industry has become so much more wicked now and open about it. I told my cousins to stop listening to Beyoncé after I heard what she said in her song Lemonade about scripture smh it was disgusting.
Hey Alex I love Christian rap! It’s a genre filled with violence, lust, and materialism but Christian rap turns that around and makes it positive. Plus, I like rap itself. I’ve been meaning to weed through my playlist and cut out the bad stuff, most of which will most likely be rap.
Are you sure? I don't see Bebe or Garrix pushing out songs about God's love for us. Since that is really important to me, I'm pretty sure I would notice a Christ centered song from either one of them...at least once or twice. Just being really careful here ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@jakovpralas5696 They’re not saying it’s a Christian song. They’re saying that it reminds them of how much God loves us. And what He does in the name of love.
@@saigie3908 yes, like "Until I found you".... it reminds me... how I stop loving worldly things until I found God even if the lyrics are not on point still... for me it gives me that vibe❤️
My friend has a 1 year old baby and she put on princess and the frog for her. For a while the baby didn't pay attention to the movie but the second the scary voodoo scene with that scary music played, the baby started paying attention and just eyeballed the movie. It was so creepy she started getting scared. Momma turned the movie off right away.
Your family is Sooo beautiful. I’m from Nigerian and I have always thought of creating a channel where I share my Christian experiences. You’re an encouragement God bless you bro...
Did u know 21 pilots are also Christians and I use to listen to them oftenly but I got pushed to the new music I’m happy to find u guys hope you bring more people closer to god like u did to me 🙏🏼
Hulvey is so good! I listened to all those artists you mentioned. When becoming a Christian my music tastes also changed. I started listening to alot of Christian rap.
I just listen to instrumental music when its not worship music. So many different genres and yet instrumentals don't hold the same impact on your life, as in the question is more "do I like this, or do I not?" as opposed to "is this healthy for a Christian to listen to?" Orchestral music in particular can be very soothing and calm, or very epic and motivational. Plus, it's fun to listen to, it's fun to play, and it's fun to dance to
Me too I also enjoy instrumental music and the different beats and the moods and creativity of them it makes it enjoyable to listen to. I like the trap instrumental genre with artists like cushy, ballpoint, Dylan sitts, blue steel, etc..
duuuude, we were just at the chicken in a barrel like a week ago haha. you were at the exact table we ate at! we actually ate pizza there but had an awesome conversation about Jesus with the workers at the chicken in a barrel in kapa'a! thanks for the honest chat! music has played a big role in my life. I love Gable Price and Friends, Montell Fish, Antoine Bradford, and so many other awesome artists!
Amen thank you you Jesus for everything in my life and for providing heaven for us and for letting us ourselves and for giving me a second chance in my life, I love you amen🙏🙏🙏🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭🤗🤗🤗🥰🥰🥰😊😊😊👍👍👍👈👈👈🙏🙏🙏
I am glad I heard this video from you. I have heard you say multiple times that "music" cant be Christian, etc. I was always concerned by that statement until I watched this. I feel music generes don't box Christian music in. Christian music spans all genres. I like a lot of styles of music, but have grown to appreciate that what we put into our minds and take root and grow. We must be very careful what we see and listen to. Thank you again for sharing! You're a blessing...
Y'all should listen to Slow Down by Forrest! I always listen to y'all on Facebook. I am a Christian living in Japan and just hearing y'alls stories and bible study (Shouts out to the podcast) really helps my walk! Always love, Caleb
U have a Beautiful family brother. I believe you are under the protection of Jesus as you’re following God’s plan for having children. Great testimony to the world.
I don't listen to a lot of music, mostly because I never have earbuds or mobile data at the same time😂 but my favorite songs right now are "new wine" and "this is my testimony"
could you guys maybe give us like your playlists or something so i could kind of have like some new artists to listen to, also i loved this! music plays a huge role in my daily routine so this was good to hear and reassuring that i need to put a little more effort into paying attention to what i’m listening to. thank you !!
Please ask God to do something big in my friend Emily's life. She didn't know what to do and then God gave confirmation that He wanted her to cut ties with family because they are very cruel and abusive. She is being tortured by them and Emily is desperate to be free. Please ask God to do big things, healing, love, peace, God's best, please!!!
I love your videos because you make them welcoming. I was afraid to become a full Christian and read the Bible because I used to think God would judge me. A also thought that people in the Christian community would judge me too. Your videos are informative and welcoming, and for that, I thank you.
First, the topic of music is always controversial but I like to put it this way. It is more focused on the spirit. The person who is making the music, what spirit is leading them to make whatever it is that they are making? Isn't that why the bible is so amazing? It is inspired by the holy spirit so that is why it is very important we listen to songs that are inspired by the holy spirit. Songs that make us focus on God, Increase Jesus, Decrease us and fill us with the Holy Spirit. "Is it a sin?" Well...everything is permissible but not everything is useful. So don't take the risk and play. Second, You guys have a beautiful family. Y'all sons are too adorable!!🥰 Blessings to you and yours!
Hello Pastor Alex. I respect your videos and the approach you take while answering things. Things are not memorized or unrelatable but you explain gently and with care why we should consider our options.
I have 7,995 songs saves at the time of me watching this. It’s unbelievable I can name more genre’s of music than I can name Christian music. I think it’s a struggle for me, art vs faith. It’s been tough for me to balance this out
If it hurts my soul I shouldn’t listen to it because some things hurt my soul even if they are vary bad or not bad at all, I can just feel that it’s digging and Grabbing in Tearing my heart, some songs I really like but I have to remember that it’s not helping me and Jesus doesn’t want me to hurt myself so I gotta pay more attention to that kind of thing of watching and making sure that I doing what God wants me to do
I used to listen to a lot of rap and pop music. In the past 3 years, I’ve been listening to jazz, Latin jazz, and instrumental stuff, along with bethel music and maverick city ❤
Favorite Christian rapper right now is IMRSQD. Dude is so versatile in his style! Love listening to the song "Solay" by him. Probably my favorite song ever tbh
guard your heart: proverbs 4:23
So as we are going through regeneration does that mean we stop listening to world music and only focus on Christan music or do we have a like even middle ground between them?

Orchestral music in particular can be very soothing and calm, or very epic and motivational. Plus, it's fun to listen to, it's fun to play, and it's fun to dance to
Lol, do you also dramatically look off into the distance.
@@miguelndhlovu4356 of course lol
@@mattoreo5854 I knew I was not the only one.😌
Me too I also enjoy instrumental music and the different beats and the moods and creativity of them it makes it enjoyable to listen to. I like the trap instrumental genre with artists like cushy, ballpoint, Dylan sitts, blue steel, etc..
Your boys are so precious!
God bless you Alex god has done great things with you🙏
I really appreciate how you set this up thank you !
duuuude, we were just at the chicken in a barrel like a week ago haha. you were at the exact table we ate at! we actually ate pizza there but had an awesome conversation about Jesus with the workers at the chicken in a barrel in kapa'a! thanks for the honest chat! music has played a big role in my life. I love Gable Price and Friends, Montell Fish, Antoine Bradford, and so many other awesome artists!
Gable Price and Friends are so amazing!!!
I listen to Perry Como. He did a song called ``Impossible.'' It came out in 1973. It has good lyrics in it. It has a nice sound to it.

Adorable Children!🥰🙏🏾
Hope the pregnancy goes well thank you for very helpful video as well 🙏
I am glad I heard this video from you. I have heard you say multiple times that "music" cant be Christian, etc. I was always concerned by that statement until I watched this. I feel music generes don't box Christian music in. Christian music spans all genres. I like a lot of styles of music, but have grown to appreciate that what we put into our minds and take root and grow. We must be very careful what we see and listen to. Thank you again for sharing! You're a blessing...
Hi God bless have a good one.
Y'all should listen to Slow Down by Forrest! I always listen to y'all on Facebook. I am a Christian living in Japan and just hearing y'alls stories and bible study (Shouts out to the podcast) really helps my walk! Always love,
Caleb

U have a Beautiful family brother. I believe you are under the protection of Jesus as you’re following God’s plan for having children. Great testimony to the world.
Music is one of the few things that activates the entire brain at once
I don't listen to a lot of music, mostly because I never have earbuds or mobile data at the same time😂 but my favorite songs right now are "new wine" and "this is my testimony"
Amen ❤️
Your wife is sooo beautiful, Such a bright smile !!
could you guys maybe give us like your playlists or something so i could kind of have like some new artists to listen to, also i loved this! music plays a huge role in my daily routine so this was good to hear and reassuring that i need to put a little more effort into paying attention to what i’m listening to. thank you !!
Please ask God to do something big in my friend Emily's life. She didn't know what to do and then God gave confirmation that He wanted her to cut ties with family because they are very cruel and abusive. She is being tortured by them and Emily is desperate to be free. Please ask God to do big things, healing, love, peace, God's best, please!!!
Simple man is my favorite song, it's an amazing song with a great message.
Bless your family and friends! You’re all so sweet and amazing children of God! ❤️🙏🏻
Thank you for your gentleness 💕
I had a red mustang on my honeymoon in Hawaii... I feel attacked😂😂
GOD bless🙏🏾❤️❤️
I am dying laughing! Your children are too cute! Little man trying to get google to work from the crib, so fun at those ages. Ours are grown now
Amen
Amen God is good
Amen. Thank you that helps a lot.
I love your videos because you make them welcoming. I was afraid to become a full Christian and read the Bible because I used to think God would judge me. A also thought that people in the Christian community would judge me too. Your videos are informative and welcoming, and for that, I thank you.
First, the topic of music is always controversial but I like to put it this way. It is more focused on the spirit. The person who is making the music, what spirit is leading them to make whatever it is that they are making? Isn't that why the bible is so amazing? It is inspired by the holy spirit so that is why it is very important we listen to songs that are inspired by the holy spirit. Songs that make us focus on God, Increase Jesus, Decrease us and fill us with the Holy Spirit. "Is it a sin?" Well...everything is permissible but not everything is useful. So don't take the risk and play. Second, You guys have a beautiful family. Y'all sons are too adorable!!🥰
Blessings to you and yours!
please share your spotify playlist with us
The kids made me smile. 🥺🥰
Lokelani is so beautiful.
Yes for sure those guys are my favorite! And thanks for the indie recommendations too!
Hello Pastor Alex. I respect your videos and the approach you take while answering things. Things are not memorized or unrelatable but you explain gently and with care why we should consider our options.
You always help me out in hard places , thank you very much 😇
God bless you all.
God bless and congratulations
I have 7,995 songs saves at the time of me watching this. It’s unbelievable I can name more genre’s of music than I can name Christian music. I think it’s a struggle for me, art vs faith. It’s been tough for me to balance this out
If it hurts my soul I shouldn’t listen to it because some things hurt my soul even if they are vary bad or not bad at all, I can just feel that it’s digging and Grabbing in Tearing my heart, some songs I really like but I have to remember that it’s not helping me and Jesus doesn’t want me to hurt myself so I gotta pay more attention to that kind of thing of watching and making sure that I doing what God wants me to do
Lofi and jazz with no words at all 🥰
I used to listen to a lot of rap and pop music. In the past 3 years, I’ve been listening to jazz, Latin jazz, and instrumental stuff, along with bethel music and maverick city ❤
AMEN✨
I love this so much. Thank you.
Was introduced to Antoine Bradford through this video. Thank you!
Amen 🙏
Favorite Christian rapper right now is IMRSQD. Dude is so versatile in his style! Love listening to the song "Solay" by him. Probably my favorite song ever tbh
You are all so adorable!!!!! Beautiful family💙💙💙🥰🙏
Only out father in heaven can dicate who our brothers and sisters are. Love them as they are. As the way Christ loves us because of who He is!
