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
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.
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?
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, 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.
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
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❤️
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 😂✝️
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!
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!
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.
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
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 .
@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.
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. 🙏🏾💜
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😊
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.
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.
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 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!!
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
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.❤❤❤
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.
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. 😊
52:00 she says that religion was put in place "to give us order" and she essentially doesn't believe that it matters if you are Christian or Muslim as long as we "treat each other right". She clearly doesn't understand Christianity or seem to have a personal conviction about it. the stories she tells about her dating experiences with men implies that they are living together., she is discussing horoscopes, she is an actress performing very worldly roles when we are called to be a light ... I don't know about this guest, Lecrae.
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
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 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.
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 think it’s very dangerous to be lukewarm. The sex scenes, the cursing, the not wanting to read the Bible or wanting a man or anyone to hold you accountable is very lukewarm and scary. I think if you’ve never experienced the devil you don’t get how serious the walk is and why it’s important to walk the walk and not just say you’re Christian!
Frr and I’m not trying to judge but I’m 21 and she’s way older and the fact that she’s acting like some of the things she’s partaking in is okay , is actually crazy to me
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.
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 ❤
This conversation was very disappointing . Lots of justifying for lukewarm behavior and mentality. So many contradictions. Perfection is not expected but we should strive for it even though we will fall short . Thank God for his Grace. There’s no such thing as having a “balance”, cursing is not something we should be okay with, don’t say “I’m not into astrology , but im a Libra “. Say you have convictions but continue to portray sex scenes that does not glorify the Lord . You’re not excused because you’re acting . You will still be held accountable. At the end of the day , everyone has an individual walk but I hope people don’t look up to this conversation, and instead just listen for entertainment purposes only
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
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??
Saying you're a Christian and doing sex scenes is wild. It's still a sin no matter how you look at it. People are saying it's not real it's just a job. We have normalized being in the world and being a Christian. You can't do both.
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.
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 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.
Also as a Christian at work we are to honoring the Lord. Having sex scenes as a Christian is showing sexual immorality and is sinful. People who are Christian’s doing sex scenes is showing it’s okay . Playing a character doesn’t matter as a Christian we are not to be like the world and need to stand for righteousness . We shouldn’t compromise our morals just for a pay check .
So you must not watch TV if any show or movie your watching is being portrayed by an actor . Things that are happening in real life. This is exactly why so many ppl and celebrities are scared to be Christians out loud because they’re condemned by everything that’s not realistic you pick apart what you want she said some many other things like that fact that she called ppl during covid to help them but none one in these comments are talking about that tho
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.
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
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.
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 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!
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.
Im not even going to give a disclaimer before i say this. There's a reason why people have been coming at Lecrae all these years for being "lukewarm" or problematic to the Christian community. The swearing or cursing (whatever you want to call it) conversation is unacceptable tbh. Using profanity and using foul language is unbiblical. Imagine trying to give a defense for why we can use foul language 😂😂 my goodness. I'm still gonna listen to Lecraes music but believers really need to not follow these christian influencers and know God for yourself. We're living in scary times. Everyones a Christian...till its time to get biblical.
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.”
This is a good interview! So many of us think it's okay to insert our thoughts, views, opinions, beliefs, ideals, judgments, biases, culture, beliefs, and Faith onto other people without realizing how offensive we may be because we believe we're right! Then if being right isn't enough, we attempt to stamp The Lord's name on it for approval! I read so many comments by people attempting to direct and instruct Lecrae, on how to conduct his show. You're tuned into Lecrae's podcast to tell him how to conduct his podcast? Ohhhh right, you think you have that right because he's a professed Christian? If we are a true Christian then we realize that we are not the lord of anyone else, rather JESUS CHRIST is our Lord and Saviour. Lecrae is in ministry, while at work! Lecrae is the person responsible for doing "thus said The Lord" while serving and working in the ministry The Lord gave him, not to serve and work the way reverend, brother, sister so and so thinks he should. The parts of this interview that resonated so well with me as a Woman, as a Christian, and as a believer not newly saved yet newly walking in Jesus's deliverance from sin is how the Christian/Believer/Husband/Father Lecrae gently yet firmly encouraged and cheerleaded for Crystal to maintain her vow of celibacy before and until marriage! That Godly counsel and advocacy reflects the evidence of Jesus Christ in Lecrae's life! Yet, don't miss that Crystal is the one who made and/ or considered the vow of celibacy until marriage as a reflection of her Faith in Jesus Christ to experience love the way He (Christ) intended for her and Lecrae did not attempt to indoctrinate her with his standards and beliefs. Anyway, this is a good interview and if for nothing else I hope we always remember we do not have any authority and/or ownership over another person's life, that Power belongs to JESUS CHRIST as the highest authority/Name in Heaven and Earth! 🙌🏿🙏🏾
The Bible in James says that teachers will be held to high standards. Lecrae has a platform that God gave him to edify his listeners so he will receive scrutiny. No one here is condemning Lecrae though! In fact, I've read some healthy and loving criticism. As believers, we are literally instructed to actively hold our leaders to biblical standards. If we care about each other's hearts, we have to give godly rebuke. It's biblical. I just think he should've edited out that one part about cursing since it is unbiblical and can be a stumbling block. That's all ❤
It’s crazy how this is the ONLY comment so far that acknowledged Lecrae encouraging her celibacy….. Most others only focused on what they can turn into a negative, it shows that they don’t have many relationships with people who are real with them.
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 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 😂.
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 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.
I totally wanted to jump into the conversation when you started talking about folks who grew up in church who navigate back and forth across that fine line!!!
"Trying to see how much I can get away with." "I don't feel like what I believe in is the 'end-all be all.'" Hmmm.. unfortunately, this interview seems kind of lukewarm. I am kind of disappointed😐
when i first started the video so many red flags were raised, there’s such an immaturity that flows from her and it saddens me that instead of being corrected or challenged about the things she was saying, everything was joked away. she so obviously, like all of us, needs to be transformed by the love of Jesus. she represents the culture we live in today that teaches women to be chase careers and money and that marriage is something to check off your list when you get around to it. To want men that are so unattainable that you find something wrong w them rather than your impossible standards. and in turn, this type of woman feeds the red pill movement and they feed off of each other. both types/caricatures are a form of idolatry. Women like this are not content because selfishness NEVER leads to fulfillment . living for yourself never fulfills you. there should be a podcast about how deep this podcast was lol.
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 🫶
We should take every thought, idea, word, action, sentiment, feeling, situation , etc to the feet of Jesus . Examine ourselves before the Lord to determine if how we're living is holy and pleasing to him and not our flesh. Let Christ be the standard and not culture. Follow peace with all men and holiness without which no man shall see the Lord. Hebrews 12:14
Be very careful judging either party in this episode (Luke 6:41). You don’t have to agree with everything (cussing, honestly about possible sexual immorality, balance of lifestyle), but this is why all members of the Body of Christ serve a different purpose and have varying gifts (Romans 12:4). And let me be clear: this comes from someone mindful of cursing, music lyrics, and gossiping, and I am celibate! I’m far from lukewarm but I practice the entire WORD, not parts. You never know how much God values another, and using your voice to judge may place you in contempt (Matthew 7:1). Jesus’s disciples were betrayers, liars, and thieves, among other things, but they walked beside Him. Furthermore, He traveled the earth and interacted with all types of people. Your walk may look different, but remember, LOVE is most significant (Matthew 22:36-39) (1 Corinthians 13:13). Focus on your relationship and wisdom. Let God reveal to them what He pleases, when He pleases if He pleases (John 8:7). Let’s Appreciate them both for being vulnerable and loudly claiming our Lord's name (Romans 14:11). Do your work and practice being slow to speak, especially if you didn’t seek God’s voice before doing so (James 1:19). Ensure your character mimics God’s. And YOUR Spirit is full of the suitable fruits, so you earn favor for your righteous works (Proverbs 10:32) (Proverbs 3:34). To more Abundant Life! Blessings 🤍
There is no condemnation in Christ, however, when the disciples and people encountered Christ, he told them to go and sin no more. (James 8:11) Should we continue in sin that grace may abound? God forbid (Romans 6:1-2)
@@print3328I agree with you but in the grand scheme of things we only know in part (1 Corinthians 13:9). I definitely don’t condone a lifestyle of sin but who are we to determine Gods Divine Timing? We are to Love and Intercede (pray for others), not judge or gossip. That’s all I’m saying. May the Lord Bless you abundantly for speaking His Word. 🤍
@@EndeshaMonique That is true, we only know in part, but thankfully the Father has also made a lot known to us through His word. We are not to judge unbelievers but we can correct other believers, in love. After we have first examined ourselves of course. (Matthew 7:1-5, It is better for us to help one another while we are still alive, so that we can have time to repent, than to be judged before the Father, when we can no longer repent. Also, people who have a platform should use it very wisely. We will be held accountable for every word (Matthew 12:36, 1 Corinthians 5:12-13) I sense that Crystal has a sweet spirit, so I am praying for her, that she’ll fully submit to the Lord. She would surely have a beautiful testimony to share. May the Lord bless you as well and let us be like the 10 wise virgins and store up oil while it is still daylight ❤️🙏🏾
@@print3328 Beautifully articulated and scriptural. I sense your heart is in the right place (with our Lord’s), and my original statement wasn’t for believers of His likeness. I saw a lot of questionable comments that did not lead with Love. And as I’m sure you know, we are first to pray and then extend grace, forgiveness, and accountability for our words/actions before offering anything (Matthew 5:23-24). They won’t do everything right because they’re of flesh as we are. I know I’m not perfect, but I seek to die to myself and pick up my cross daily (Luke 9:23). There’s no doubt that they have seen these comments reflected upon the content and compared it to their faith in God’s Word. We all go from glory to glory. It’s an opportunity for growth. Thank God for that. God Bless you, my friend, and keep doing the work. I took a moment to serve in this capacity because you took a moment of your valuable time to respond, but I have ministries to tend to and others to reach. I don’t comment much on social media to remain mindful of the context and to not offend my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. However, I wanted to ensure I did not offend your heart. So, I wish you well in all your endeavors. Walk in Wisdom 🤍
Lecrea tried to show her how a good man thinks, navigates, and signs up to be in a relationship. Unfortunately, this wisdom went over her head. She is being mentored by a man driven to win at all costs, which includes not having a marriage and a family. She's not seeing that she's getting the same outcomes by being his protege. She's becoming a rich single man!!! She even talks and behaves as one. 😊 Those same tactics do not work in getting the relationship her parents have. As she gets richer and richer, she moves further away from her hearts desires. My prayer is that she stops seeking riches and seeks love. Because once she does, she will find true riches. She will move in wisdom and not in blatant ignorance. Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His rights and all of the things shall be added unto you. Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart. There's a good man out there for her. But she's not equipped with Kingdom eyes, mind, and heart to know him and for him to do the same. Sweetheart, please wake up!!
