Dante Bowe Breaks Silence About Split From Maverick City Music 

Me Too lets pray for him. He needs deliverance🙏🏽

Let's pray for him

Amen. Lord help Dante. Don't we all need help? The pride comes before a fall.

You are right, he is not doing well. All people who are ever out of group worship are not doing well.

EAR RING IS BODY MUTILATION WHY THIS GUY MAKES MUSIC SECULAR MUSIC IF HE CHRISTIAN

Sure

Definitely praying for the brother

Exactly. Humility comes before honor! I would respect a more humble, young man.I completely understand that we all fall, we all fall. I believe the Lord is still working on and through Him.

Ephesians 6:12!!!

Accountability is important...But to be fair where does he say they tried to destroy him? And what jabs he made?

Listen from 620 to 8:18 everything in between that time frame, he said they tried to destroy him and he was throwing jabs

@@maliciareader9589 Wow...@8:14...I'm disappointed that was said 😔🙏🏽

Deliverance from what? 🤔

@@trestyudoka5017 from that unhealthy pride. It’s okay to be confident in your Godly gifts but there’s something there that’s not of God. His heart was exposed

We are all human and yes, no one is perfect, but there was a consistent pattern with him. He was constantly doing things that led up to him being dropped by Maverick city music. His behavior shows that his heart was not any of the gospel, but for himself. We are all human, but if we are Christians, we must keep God standards. It would be one thing if he made a mistake, repented for it, and grew from it and became a better person, but that’s not what happened at all.

Exactly. Thank you for saying that. Who are we to judge this man? Do we see him in his quiet time with God? All these holier than thou sinners need to chill. Like Jesus said, Let he without sin, throw the first stone.

@@tyeishaleisuretotally agree 💯.

No one’s perfect and no one is judging this Man. His actions speaks for it’s self and he could careless.

He's already on a pedestal. He has successfully used his gift to be most Grammy nominated so that means that he's a leader and has helped souls come to Christ. While he shouldn't be the soul source of a new believer coming to Christ, he's now a pillar in MANY folks life to the point we cared about his well-being. Once you realize how sensitive spiritual warfare really is it's not hard to see why folks are disappointed in his decision since he played such a big role in music this decade. That's an important thing to God bc, essentially, how can you bring them to the church from the club....then take them back to the club? It's confusion, to say the least.

@@a0utlaw this, and God is not the author of confusion. He also just released to worship album with the worship collective he started at his false LGBTQ affirming church that got shut down. God is not in any of this.

Facts

If only humble, private & biblical rebuke took place, perhaps our brother in faith would've been restored. Mhh.. my heartbreak here is concerning the Christian community at large. I don't see one as more correct than the other, but both Maverick & Dante were at fault... Regardless of the popularity or social media presence, Maverick & Dante could've handled this situation differently. "If a brother sins, go and show him his fault in private; if he listens and pays attention to you, you have won back your brother..." Matthew 18:15a... Going agaisnt scripture didnt yield positive results. Hence, you have a brother (Dante) who has been hurt & it is so unfortunate that he has such a huge platform which meams that expressed hurt may influence division in the body (due to social media popularity/ followers). Was Dante right for his actions? No. Was Maverick (Christian Family) right in casting him out & rejecting him publicly for his actions, no. Is Dante right now for the negative talk, no. If only we may do all things with love & in love. The popularity of Maverick city group was its demise. Had it not been the case, I believe humble, private & biblical rebuke would've taken place & a brother in faith would've been restored. Would he still have left the group & persuaded his current music career? Only God knows...

@@nondumisomthembu7973 it did, and he didn’t listen. You can’t help someone who doesn’t want it.

Love your content big bro but I don’t like the way you worded this at all. Comparing Dante’s expression of ministry to coming out of the closet is out of pocket. . .I feel like if he is singing the itsy bitsy spider, it’s gospel because of who he is. I don’t even like labeling him as “secular” because that’s not what I felt like the album was. It was “life” music. Not necessarily “secular”.

Sick as his secret

Agreed! If only humble, private & biblical rebuke took place, perhaps our brother in faith would've been restored. Mhh.. my heartbreak here is concerning the Christian community at large.

Agree, and from what was said here and what photos that were very racey... very of Chandler Moore and his wife, I'm more offended by the photos. Yeah Christians can be freaks too but let's keep that in our personal space

typical artist stuff lol

Exactly

Yes hence why I have no sympathy for him. This is who he‘s ben all along.

He will not last long in his career

nah honestly not even that: it’s all about Jesus. it’s so easy to get haughty or think that we are “leading” it’s all the spirit. take absolutely no credit and cast every crown. don’t even be tempted to say you did that!

​@@xchorroFacts! That's the pride of them!

In as much he is good with his creator, don't judge

But you have one just like Dante. We all do. #human

Well the interview was about him so I would think he would talk about his self. I mean the interviewer is interviewing Dante Bowe

Yea pride comes before the fall!

I do recognize a change in your presence. Your worship music was so inspiring, uplifting and kept me on the right path. So I appreciate you for your praise to God. I pray that whatever is going on with you now is a lesson you need to learn to come back again in repentance and give your testimony for all of our lost sheep out there in the world. I still love you. I will keep you in my prayers. God bless you! ❤

It's his interview, who else should he talk about besides God?

Amen 🙏🏿

This is powerful. Amen

But I pray he will hear God and return to God, if he was ever of God. Amen 🙏

The bible says no man is good. Our hearts are wicked. Only YHWH is GOOD.

@@cynthia4given of course I know that. I still think he's a good person but I will not cast judgement on no one. We all fall short of God's glory. I will continue to pray for him to return to his first love which is Jesus Christ.

Let's keep praying for him 🙏

@@nyvviajay5413 Amen 💜✝️🙏

Thank you..."A friend with the world is an enemy of God" I stopped doing circular music and started writing worship to the God almighty because of the inspiration I got from Dante. May the lord keep you Dante...

Yea it’s so sad how he is so deceived. I spray he repents before it’s too late.

Exactly… it’s so sad hopefully he get the help he needs

Are you right with God?

@@christopherliverman8333 Why do you ask?

@christopherliverman8333 I love and fear God. I have my struggles, but I don't live in sin. I obey the word of God as the Lord gives me the wisdom and strength to do so. Is there a reason you asked?

Sure Let's pray for him

How do you know what his calling is? You're a part of his personal time with God?

@krbourne Mathew 7 16,17. 16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. I don't have to be in his personal prayer life. We are called as believers to bear fruit and by that fruit we as the body of Christ hold each other accountable. Maybe if you knew Dante and where he started my comment would make more sense to you

@@72nyyfan You didn't say anything that proved you know his calling. You just quoted a Scripture people use to judge things they don't know anything about. You're holding him to where he started. Is it possible that his calling has changed. For context, I was a journalist who wrote about faith and culture. Before that I was an ordained minister. When God led me to transition into secular journalism and writing about secular hip-hop. I lost a lot of followers. People made assumptions about my relationship with God. And I did go through a season of anger and being in my flesh from Christians not supporting me. That was years ago, but I can relate to Christians who feel God is transitioning them into more of a secular calling.

@krbourne So in your opinion as a result of Dante's decision do you believe this is how God wants us? Looking like the World Emulating the pride of life and then you believe we don't use scripture? I would say it's also a far stretch to compare your secular journalism to this. Btw as Christians we have a mandate from Jesus himself and in some way we believe we can do this our way void of the Word of God. If God led you to Secualar Journalism the proof of that calling will be the fruit that it bares remember we are not of this World. Dante has a gift and an annointing to bring people to the saving knowledge of Christ. Can you please show me how his decisions are now pointing to Christ? Too many excuses for simply wanting to do what we want to do. I pray that whatever you're doing would be honorable to God ultimately you have to answer to Him but remember we also are accountable to each other as the Body of Christ. Look no further then Jesus' prayer on the Mount

Thanks for saying this. Reading these comments I am wondering if nobody else sins when they come to God. sigh. People are too quick to judge forgetting we all need Jesus, we all need deliverance from sin.

Exactlyyyy! No sin is greater than the other. The Bible says for all have sinned and come short.

Naaaaaa the beam is out my eye. That dude got a HUGE splinter and I got a feeling it's not in his eye.....🤦🏽‍♂️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 Why wouldn't we judge someone who had such a big Christian platform? He's choosing to backslide. Most nominations in Christian music and....God told him to do R&B when all these prophecies are being fulfilled??? 🤔🤔🤔

@@a0utlaw when we become absorbed in the lives of people and our eyes lose focus from God we tend to dissect every thing people do. Salvation is an individual thing. He has to work it out himself and the more this community presses on him the further he would walk away. So I think all the judges are playing into the hands of the devil and feeding this guys disappointment in the church. Pray for him if you guys are really concerned and let the Holy spirit do the convicting of his heart.

@@aviswerl6372 salvation is a RELATIONSHIP thing. I lost focus? Ain't no way you commune with the Holy Spirit but going to Lil Nas X concerts and listening to Bhad Bunni, an open homosexual. He's one of the biggest gospel artists and broadcasting his lukewarm lifestyle on Instagram. He has power to push people further away with his music. We don't have any influence on his relationship with Christ but he has influence on baby/young/other lukewarm Christians so I'm "absorbed" with anything it's concern about who he'll infect. 😂😂😂😂 yes, pray for him sister bc the way it's looking I wouldn't be surprised to see him flying the rainbow flag soon... My comment won't make or break that man bc he won't see it nor does he care bc he's too busy getting wound up with.... whomever

I agree

Honestly I feel like it was the stuff with Maverick city

Its not about the now, its what has been, thats being exposed, a gift can only take you as far as your character (fruit) will keep you.

He simply wants to pursue a solo career, which I have no issue with. What i=I have an issue with is how its being done. I didnt like this interview because of the shade thrown at Maverick CIty. Not to sure if he was addressing specific people or those who ran it but he could have been more humble.

@@simplyserge144 yes exactly, and I actually do have a problem with you wanting to do a solo career simply because he’s trying to pass off what he’s doing is being in the name of Jesus Christ when it’s in no way something Christ would honor.

Sadly, this is the real Dante Bowe we’re seeing. Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks, Luke 6:45. Just because he sang Christian songs, lead worship, and wrote Christian songs doesn’t mean that he is a Christian. Anyone can sing Christian music. It doesn’t mean they’re saved or did they have a relationship with Jesus Christ. sometimes artists use Christian music as a steppingstone to launch their secular career. Dante has always wanted to do solo music and look for ways to be successful. In 2021 after winning his first GMA dove award, he wrote a big long post about how if it hadn’t been for that award, he would’ve quit music all together. He joined Maverick city music, thinking that it would get him tons of recognition and accolades. When that didn’t happen, he did things to try to get out. The dove award he won was not for anything he did with Maverick, but for his first solo album joyful. From there, he proceeded to make history at the Grammys by getting the most nominations. I think it was 64, which is what he’s bragging about in the interview.

Wheww

Actually, he does need to be criticized as his actions and behavior are not appropriate if he’s calling himself a Christian. his actions and behavior do not align with God’s standards as outlined in scripture. As for praying for him the only prayers that should be praying for him are prayers that he repent of his wicked, evil, and sinful ways, and turn to Christ, and develop the relationship with him. He doesn’t need to be in the Christians space so long as he is serving the world and the devil. He cannot serve two masters. He’s either on the side of God or the side of the devil. He can’t sit at the table of the Lord and at the table of the devil. He can’t drink from the cup of the Lord and the cup of Satan. Jesus says in Matthew 7:21 not all who say to me, Lord Lord will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only those who do the Will of my father. Some verses on loving the world and the lust of the flesh. “Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them.” ‭‭1 John‬ ‭2‬:‭15‬ ‭NIV‬‬ “For everything in the world-the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life-comes not from the Father but from the world.” ‭‭1 John‬ ‭2‬:‭16‬ ‭NIV‬‬ “You adulterous people, don’t you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.” ‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭4‬ ‭NIV‬‬ He is also very frightful and God does not honor the proud. “But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.”” ‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭6‬ ‭NIV‬‬

WOW!!! 😮

Matthew 6:23 “But when your eye is unhealthy, your whole body is filled with darkness. And if the light you think you have is actually darkness, how deep that darkness is!”

fallen from what..? he's just a normal Christian

He’s a normal person but not a Christian…he’s falling from grace (Gods grace) reminds me of Samson how the Spirit had left him and he didn’t even know it.

@@sjohnson1947 you speaking nonsense. he has not fallen from grace. it's easy to point out someone else sin, stop being so critical

@@godhg9694 the bible says judge righteously....and I hope if I am in sin I have someone bring it to my attention...better to get it right on this side then hear "I never knew you on the other side"

God gives grace... is that a low bar?stop acting like you deserve everything you got

I didn't hear pride I heard an honest person..admitting his mistake stop judging. he's OK

then you don't know what pride is or the context and definition of judgment, seek truth and not your own point of view based on misinformation@@godhg9694

He is just been honest

Amen!! Come on Brethren!!Keeep your eyes on JESUS!!!

No, they didn’t. They had every right to cut ties with him. His behavior was inappropriate and Still is inappropriate. No Christian artist is obligated to associate with him when he’s actively doing things that show that he is living a sinful lifestyle. He is not the victim in this. Pink constantly do you think the cost problems for the other members. His downfall with his own doing. He didn’t want to be held accountable for his behavior, so he left. In the Christian spaith, just like any other space actions words and behavior have consequences good or bad. The only thing that is hurt is his pride.

We are called to judge and use discernment. He will not get any blessings so long as he is serving the world. God does not bless the wicked or the unrepentant sinner. God only blesses those who follow him faithfully and keep his commandments. The wicked will spend eternity in hell and will not be recipients of his blessings. So Dante doesn’t have any blessings from God.

@@tyeishaleisure Amen!!

@@markbrown2296 comments like this frustrate me so much. God will never bless those that don’t serve him. His blessings are for believers only. Dante never showed signs that he’s a Christian. Anyonecan sing Christian music. It doesn’t mean they’re saved.

Open rebuke is better than secret love. Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful Prov. 27:5-6@@nondumisomthembu7973

It was a professional statement, this is a spiritual matter and accountability to protect. Dante needs to hold himself accountable for what was truly exposed and not throw shade at MC bc he's dealing with personal spiritual issues.

@@pastorlarrycano7059 Professional yes but was it biblical? This was no ordinary secular relationship. It was supposed to be handled with care. Both Dante & Maverick are accountable. This does not excuse Dantes accountability & certainly not Maverick City's.

@@AldatraSam nope many people know God because of the music Dante was apart of. By his own admission Dante is still a Christian. People need to leave him alone.

Most misused and misunderstood verse in the Bible. That verse is in reference to those committing the same thing that they are calling someone else out for. We are called to judge righteously and examine fruit. Yes, we are all human, but humans from the strive to be like Christ and serve God only.

​@@tyeishaleisure Even the later part of that reading says go and sin no more...

@@Oghene_Million yes. People love leaving that part out. It’s honestly irritating.

@@tyeishaleisureYes. People take that scripture out of context soooo much.

Lukewarm statement!! This is why he can't get free. Lukewarm Christians keep reassuring him in his sin and deception. It's the TRUTH that will set him free and sometimes the truth hurts!!!

Mav City did him wrong too after what he contributed to that group. He’s allowed to have his human feelings about it and not be fake.

@@jjj0026 no, they didn’t do him wrong. They didn’t make the reason for dropping him clear, but it had nothing to do with the bad bunny video and everything to do with him posting his nudes to his Instagram. This is 100% cause to cut ties with him. Any other Christian artist would have the right to cut ties with him for that too. Bethel Music also dropped him. In ministry you don’t do stuff like that. His contributions to Maverick city music don’t matter, because he lost all credibility when he posted those nudes.
