I rather like his choice of wording. He brings up "cultural diversity" a great deal more than "racial diversity." From where I'm standing, cultural differences are far more important in encouraging diversity than racial ones; who you know, where you came from, and how you were raised are all far more influential in who you are than what color of skin you have or the shape of your bones.
The title of this video is 'TobyMac on diversity, GOP'. My question is: where does he talk about the GOP? The closest is when he mentions that he has Democrats and Republicans on his tour bus. He never talks about the GOP at all. I'm sick and tired of FOX News mislabeling their videos to get more views. Its extremely dishonest and misleading. And on a video about Christian music no less! Please stop doing this FOX.
@Travis Maldonado The View invited tobyMac, and NBC's morning show invited hillsong United, so just because someone is a christian artist doesn't mean they'll be outcasted by the liberal media.
Why do people think that just cuz music is labeled "Christian" that non-Christians can't listen to it or enjoy it? There's no law saying that they can't. I'm a Christian, and I enjoy secular music and music that reflects my faith. If people don't like music that talks about Jesus, they don't have to listen to it. If they do, then great! I know lots of "mixed" families, Latinos, African Americans, Swiss, Indian, British, American, and Toby's so right when he says its beautiful! It's such an amazing thing to see all those beautiful cultures flowing together and learning from on another, in music, in art; it's just an awesome combination! How boring would the world be if we were all the same! And God made us all unique, and different, it's something that is so utterly amazing to be a part of! Toby is an great artist and for him to be able to be an example to others of how to "walk the talk" is such a blessing! :)
Nice point. I listen to a lot of Christian artists, (yes, I am a Christian) but I also love bands like Aerosmith, AC/DC, Marilyn Manson (really good blues style in a lot of his songs) just a mix. There's the misconception. Just because I am a Christian doesn't mean I only like the Tabernacle Choir...lol. All music comes from God, just like everything else does. ;-)
TOBYMAC I MY GOSH! Me and my buff hazel luuuuuuuuuv your music it rocks also why we listen to you is because you are a Christian and we come from a Christian family and they also luuuuuuuuuv your music keep making songs and remember, GOD IS THE ONE AND ONLY GOD HE IS THE ONLY PERFECT ONE. -Naomi, and -Hazel her bff
Been listening to tobymac since heaven bound and NU THANG. Love his music, and I love his unrelenting faith to Lord God. It’s a shame what’s happened to Kevin from DC talk lately. I’m glad that in 2022 toby Mac is still bringing the Word to people.
When T-Mac's album dropped I was super excited and couldn't wait to listen to it and TobyMac is right -- his music is for everyone. It is sad that people have to "label" music and then criticize his music/songs. I am thankful for T-Mac's God-given talent, creativity and amazing song writing. "This is Not Test" is his best album yet. I love, love, love his music!
NLS S. I like his music too but i m a christian and listen to christian music only so i hope he is a real christian the minute he turns his back on God he is on his own
Great interview, and I love TobyMac. From the title of this, though "TobyMac on diversity, GOP" I thought he was going to address diversity in the GOP but he really didnt talk about that.
Awesome , I heard that ,Hot pursuit for Jesus His LORD .Father Bless Him and Family and those close in relationship .I Hope to see more caleb`s with Kirk and Mandeza Lose My SOul
"This Music is for everyone, and I am inviting you to this thing call Music" by TobyMac...... Being a Christian is about love, and loving others as God our father Love us. So, when God gives you a talent as beautiful as you have. Why not mention the one who bless you with the talent and Gift? Notice, when I use the word YOU I can be speaking about anyone in General. But when someone calls you by your name it signify more of a personal connection.. our Father has a Name and his Name Is JESUS Son of GOD our creator. I listen to TobyMac music and I always here YOU. Looked at a couple live concert video and didn't hear him Once give thanks to God or tell the people that he invited in to hear this thing call Music, about the massage God has for us, and how Great our God is.... This is not ment to judge Toby or to say he's not a Christian. This is just a reminder that when we go to Chriatian concert is to Glorified The FATHER, The Son and The Holy Spirit. Lets not forget tha. God Bless you All.
mikeylikesit100, well Mikey by your response I can see how Toby Music has inspired you. Actually, I shouldn't blame your disrespectful reply on his music. Ignorance is something we gain from this environment. God Bless.
Mayerlin Castro: "well Mikey by your response I can see how Toby Music has inspired you." I actually don't listen to Toby Mac, so I can't say he's inspired me at all. As far as disrespect goes, I think you need to take a look in the mirror, cause your initial comment was hella disrespectful, not to mention judgemental, of Mr. Mac. Didn't your god specifically instruct you not to judge others? But then again, what should I expect from a Christian? You people never really were too good when it came to self reflection and hypocrisy. Always able to point out the splinter in other people's eyes, but never noticing the plank in your own... And I agree that ignorance is gained, but not from the environment. It's gained from books of fairy tales and the cults they inspire, like the very one you're apart of.
mikeylikesit100.. I can honestly tell you I wasn't judging Toby Mac. I was reflecting on the fact the Jesus name is not mention on most songs, and from reading others response I reminded other to remember why we go to Christian concerts... I am really far from being the perfect Christian and far from being a Hippocrate. ALL I was doing was reflecting on the video after listening to a couple songs.... I will say this I don't know you, n you don't know me but look at us going back and forth speaking our minds. I believe in Jesus not religion, if I understand you Not a believer. However, Somehow we both came across this video stop and listen so what really matter is that in the middle of a disagreement we both got to hear the talent this Man has. So, Chris sorry if I came across as judgmental and thank you for getting interest in my option. God Bless
It depends on the type of diversity. I think racial diversity is fine, there is nothing wrong with that. However, diversity is often used to approve of transsexuality and all sorts of kinkiness, which is not good at all.
Marissa Cazalas No one was even talking about sin. So you answered your own question. It's sin. And on a deeper level, yes that type of sin is different and worse in its own way.
Ender Skies You should worry about your own walk then instead of telling me what to do, hypocrite. Go seek help from the Bible and you'll see what I'm talking about in terms of different sins. No one "judged" or even mentioned punishment. Are you delusional? You're the only one spewing intolerance here.
Oh, my, you're a liar. Toby just preached cultural relativism over absolute truth -- and he didn't say anything about the gospel specifically. His music itself offsets any ministry that his lyrics might at any point have had.
"sure my faith is in God" no sir excuse me but you should've said that God is the main reason your doing this to bring people towards God I agreed 100% on making music from every genre but not about loving each other but more of loving God and let the people now how God is our king and savior.
You obviously haven't seen him in concert. lol.. Besides, The segment was about being diverse and how do we show diversity without dividing... Not about God. TobyMac is Def all about bring people to Christ. But for this time and place it was about diversity. Also, God told us to Love each other and that's exactly what He's saying we should do.
L Gerbino yes their is a book that says love one another it is the greatest commandment in the whole Bible. So please do me a favor and read a bible. But next time please check before saying fake news. If you have any questions gesst ask me.
The only diversities I approve are the ones God approves of. Homosexuality is not one The He approves of period. For those that want to call me names sticks and stones baby sticks and stones.
Mary Hernandez thank you! Well put. I have friends that are homosexual but my really close friends aren't because I like to surround myself with Godly people who have the same views as me. Also there are so many people who are homosexual and literally have said that they overlook the fact that the Bible clearly states that homosexuality is a sin. That's like the same thing as killing someone and then overlooking the fact that again, the Bible states that murder is a sin.
Ask him about sexual diversity so we know if he is truly a Christian or in it for the almighty dollar. Race is not at all comparable to immorality and sexuality.
Id rather be divided by truth then united by a lie. There is only one way to true unity, the truth of Jesus Christ in His word !
He said "we're not that different", We aren't supposed to be part of this world.
I love TobyMac's music!
He is awesome! Love TobyMac!!!
He is and was awesome especially when he was with DC Talk.
"I think we're more beautiful together"
Mandisa - Bleed the Same anyone?
Well they have collaborated a bit!
I rather like his choice of wording. He brings up "cultural diversity" a great deal more than "racial diversity." From where I'm standing, cultural differences are far more important in encouraging diversity than racial ones; who you know, where you came from, and how you were raised are all far more influential in who you are than what color of skin you have or the shape of your bones.
Accept white Americans are largely anti-black, so there's that, all while you're pretending.
You do realize thst he's implying stance for cultural relativism over absolute truth; right?
And that stance is absolutely NOT Christian.
a*
Toby...one of the "Illuminated ones"!!! "So long my friend".
Just figured this one out. It was hard to except but now I see
"we know exactly where you are and your gone"
"Don't think we don't miss you..."
wait, what!?
please just STOP. Just STOP
Lol. Smh... praying for you, muck raker.

Yet, you don't see liberal programs inviting ANY Christian music artists on, much less mentioning God.

Thank you Jesus for using him!

I love how he brings different culture and genres together. Kind of miss his hard rock stuff.
I definitely miss his Momentum days
Such combinations are anything but Christian.
Ronald M. What combination?
I loved DC Talk!

As long as that 'love' is based on The Truth.
Toby is lookin good for his age
Amu Jane TV: yup 53 this year
The Lord Jesus said- Matthew 10:34 "Think nit that I I am come to send on earth: I am not come to send peace but a sword.."
Great interview, and I love TobyMac. From the title of this, though "TobyMac on diversity, GOP" I thought he was going to address diversity in the GOP but he really didnt talk about that.
Go Toby Mckeehan!!!
I had to match the rhythm of his belly with my head
He claimed he had a DREAAAAAAAAMMMMMM
He a little confused, but he got the spirit.
“We need to come together, aren’t we humans after all?”
the true test for all of us.....take your fame, your money, the world's love for you, your influence, and throw it all away.... then go follow Jesus.
Awesome , I heard that ,Hot pursuit for Jesus His LORD .Father Bless Him and Family and those close in relationship .I Hope to see more caleb`s with Kirk and Mandeza Lose My SOul
Tobymac is awesome!!!!!!!
I went to solefest and I love speak life it's my favorite song I love you Toby mac
TOBYMAC IS AMAZING!!!
"LoVe Toby MaC 😍!!"
This isn’t about the GOP. Closest he gets is talking about both parties. What’s with this headline?
i love TobyMac 😍😍😍💖💖💖💖
Pure and simple Idol Worship!
How?
"Diversity" is a non issue. America is already diverse. No one should be looking to get points for being diverse.
He says nothing about homosexuality so not sure why all the comments
Its 2019
He's literally SIX YEARS away from 60 LOLOLOL
And....?
Time moved so fast and its not common for 60 year olds to be doing pop/hiphop. He also looks young for os age, last i checked
Hey! This is so cool!!!
I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE TOBYMAC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I WOULD GIVE UP ALMOST ANYTHING TO MEET HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Would you give up Jesus to meet him he wouldn't give you up.

Ms. Castro, Toby invited you to "this thing called music", now allow me to invite you to remove the stick from your ass. You're welcome.

Being a Christian is about baring witness for The Truth with love. 😊
Toby’s not wrong.
I want to learn more about TobyMac 😊😊😃👏🏽
God bless Tobyy boy!🙃😁😉
It depends on the type of diversity. I think racial diversity is fine, there is nothing wrong with that. However, diversity is often used to approve of transsexuality and all sorts of kinkiness, which is not good at all.
James Vander Vegt how is a transgender's sinning different from your sinning?
How is not inviting those who are transexual to live life to the fullest helping you live your life?
Marissa Cazalas No one was even talking about sin. So you answered your own question. It's sin. And on a deeper level, yes that type of sin is different and worse in its own way.

Ender Skies Seek help.
Idk why the title said GOP. Lol had nothing to do with the video
I love you tobymac i ben a fan for 12 years
hello
I have been a toaster for 9 years. I always wondered what life would be like as a fan. I bet life is a breeze.
❤❤❤
Tobyyyyyyyy. Yes....New York........ Fox yes
how old is he
+tina new artist 51 lol
+tina new artist...about 51
51 but look like 21 :)
id say 36
it's 51 yrs old
one week Toby Mac next week Alice Cooper. That's how you do it! got to give them that!
***** he had no need to mention that in the interview.
NOICE NOICE NOICE.
Wow still goin strong
Isn't he a Christian singer ?
yes he was in dc talk. fox news trying every outlet to get ratings
No. It's because networks like CNN and MSNBC don't like covering Christian artists that get popular in the mainstream.
Isn't that what was said in the interview? Did you actually watch the video? Lol
satan must of made 11 accounts just to dislike this
AR Rifle Wolf yassssssssssssssss
Oh, my, you're a liar.
Toby just preached cultural relativism over absolute truth -- and he didn't say anything about the gospel specifically.
His music itself offsets any ministry that his lyrics might at any point have had.
Cool beans
Did Toby realise he was giving two fingers in that selfie???
everyone is saying he is
5 Children? Didn't you have like a TV in the house Bro? Haha just kidding! Good on you man!
He adopted twins and one has MS.
"sure my faith is in God" no sir excuse me but you should've said that God is the main reason your doing this to bring people towards God I agreed 100% on making music from every genre but not about loving each other but more of loving God and let the people now how God is our king and savior.
Oh I know, we definitely shouldn't encourage people to love each other. It's not like there's a book where the son of God said love one another. Nope.

diversity, or *diverse city?* 😂
Diverse City is the band name. Diversity is what his band consists of.

Looking like Justin Timbarlake
The only diversities I approve are the ones God approves of. Homosexuality is not one The He approves of period. For those that want to call me names sticks and stones baby sticks and stones.

Love me sum Mr. Mmm👆
His "producer" is a boy?
My reaction too. Lol
Ask him about sexual diversity so we know if he is truly a Christian or in it for the almighty dollar. Race is not at all comparable to immorality and sexuality.
Diane Griego lol. Get over yourself. TobyMac is the real deal.
Or we could not support that stupid Christian celebrity witch hunt
Pharisee.

Click bait
Lol buff not buff XD
E.R.A.S.E. Hate!
Oh, boy... I’m thinking about all of the followers TobyMac lost just by being on Fox News! 🙄
That would be none.

Hopefully not! LOL 😆
Phony
I guess I wont be downloading his tunes. YUCK. man they fell hard..
I think he has two wives.
Indeed he doesn't.
Toby Mac is lame
