    I’m 70 years old. I know nothing about rap music but when I heard Die, I knew that God was going to use that song to minister to this generation that struggles with suicide and needs hope. Amazing work!❤

    Before you judge the music or the man’s heart, listen to the whole thing. Yes…in the end we come out the other side but what I appreciate in this record is that Jon recognizes where his heart is and puts that into prayer. This is the album Christian music needed. Life isn’t perfect. It won’t be for this time around at least. And even after I was saved I had moments where I wanted to die. The road gets long and heavy and too much for us to bear. What Jon understood in this album and what we need to understand in our daily lives is that we have to submit to Christ.
    He is the only answer. We have to be vulnerable in our faith. Don’t be scared because this album makes you uncomfortable. Plenty of people have felt this way.
    Instead of being a critic for someone being authentic. Be an ear for them to speak to. Be a heart for the broken people. Jesus was there even when we weren’t for Him. Let’s do better family.

    Jon’s new album was great ,but I like what Caleb said on your pod a little while back.. something like .. “everybody talks about being depressed, but the people need to hear how to get out of it”

    • @JFeb439
      @JFeb439 Рік тому +17

      I 100% disagree with you. Jon’s music is there for those who’s going through the most and always shows that his Faith is the foundation to him dealing with everything . Depression is not the only thing he speaks about although it is common theme in music but he always points us to Christ.
      And Caleb didn’t mean exactly what you said, cause his music touches a lot on his struggles etc. he was saying in the secular culture there is no resolution to the problem.

    Eremos was beautifully vulnerable on a path to the Savior. It's a breath of fresh air for art as a whole because it mixed exploring deep pain and finding true joy as the remedy so gracefully. I loved every minute of it.

    One of my favorite examples in the Bible of someone struggling with mental health is Habakkuk.
    He literally said kill the Babylonians or let us all die to ease the pain.
    The God was like, “Nah. We gonna do it my way because I am who I say I am.”
    Habakkuk was like, “cool. I respect and love you.”

      @@U_neekliss yeah your 100% right. Your ministering your life even in your 9-5jobs. When a person accepts Christ they immediately become a walking book and every eye will be in you especially if you proclaim the name of Jesus. That's why a Godly Character is everything in church and outside of church. Great Question

      He has some punchy raps from his older works. "Layers in Arizona" and "genes" might have some of the best bars from him. But a lot of his 2018-2020 works and collabs have some great flow and some bars. Most of his works with indie tribe as well.

    32:53 to that point, I think music artists are held to a different standard than everyone else. I’m a nurse, I work with other nurses and take care of people who ARE NOT CHRISTIANS. Artists are artists and THIS IS THEIR JOB! Your job is a ministry and very well can’t be a ministry if it’s only done around people who know Jesus. It’s not another Christian person’s job to protect you, the Holy Spirit is doing that. 🤷🏾‍♀️

    This wouldn’t be a problem if churches stopped chasing new music/fashions and just stuck with the classics. This isn’t a criticism of the artists… I hope they succeed in a music career, but churches shouldn’t be putting on concerts as a substitute for worship. Just my opinion, I know others have different traditions.

    Ministry and individual salvation are separate. Each one of us is a minister and to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling. However, our ministry is our own decision by which we are to be guided by the Holy Spirit, to speak the Gospel of Christ to the glory of the Father. I do not have a say on who Jon allows to rap on his albums. That's between him and God. However, the moment these relationships affect Jon's walk or theology and stain the ministry, then I can say something.

  • @yepthat4182
    @yepthat4182 Рік тому

    I think this is a fair assessment for Christian Artists who attempt to participate in secular spaces only because the Christian market is a niche group and it would be challenging to appeal to the masses in a similar fashion.
    HOWEVER, the same can be said if the roles were reversed. If a secular Artist becomes a Christian Artist, their wages severly plummet because theyre no longer appealing to the larger audience, i.e. Hector “El Father” Delgado. He was like the JayZ of Reggaeton but converted to Christianity, became an Evagelist, and is now a Pastor/President of Hector Delgado Ministries. He testifies that even after his conversion, he received a $5M check to his house to perform at a show. He says he keeps it in his Bible to show people that he’s not in it for the money because no one will come close to offering him what he was used to getting paid when he was a secular artist.
    This being said, I think your points are valid but you should include that the same applies for most artists in general. Most artists wont make more money by switching their audiences if they already have a large following from what made them known to begin with.

    I get what your saying about believers struggling. I agree to an extent but we don’t hear doom and gloom in ol school Hymns. I believe this is Love, joy,peace,patience,kindness, goodness and faithfulness being expressed. It’s this world we are living in that causes these feelings just like it was in the ol testament. We need to focus on changing the culture. All I’m saying is people don’t need a song about wallowing in feelings like this without the joy we get in the morning. These types of songs are for young or Christians that aren’t there yet. They need to hear about the Joy. This all coming from a fat white country boy. My 2 cents. God bless!✝️❤️🇺🇸

    I dont know if get it right, my english may not be perfect hahah but guys, saying that we should not protect the saved, may not protect in the strict sense, but man... we MUST be around the faith family, supporting each other, discipleship, there are countless verses that are teaching, or better, commanding those things to us as christian. I more concerned to go through this just to get it clear, because it could sound loveless to those that may say that you dont protect the saved, I guess it is way missunderstood.
    Nonetheless, FIRE ALBUM! Man got that deep and relatable... got me harrrrd

    im usually not a stickler but when he said not protect the saved not being in the bible no but it does talk about not making your brother stumble not saying Ruslan or Jon do that intentionally but i feel this was a missed opportunity to explore that part. If anyone has the exact verse i don't know it by heart but i felt like they were too casual talking about saved vs lost. Yes be fishers of men but encourage one another in Christ equally as important imo.

If it were me, I’d reach out to QBert, any of the ISP crew, MMMike, shadow, chemist, et all, and get some REAL Dj action on these records. Next thing you know, the B Boy/Girl will be gone, and someone will just be sitting in the couch TALKING about “dancing”.. and as always.. PLEASE.. get off my lawn. Thank you. 🇺🇸
