The Deep End With Lecrae

Lecrae

Life is hard and things are going to fall apart at some point or another –especially when you've experienced trauma in your life. But the problem is that most Christians can't be seen to have moments when they lose control or even struggle. By being honest with the challenges he's faced, Lecrae is going to dive into the hard things no one else will face and talk about what life looks like when you go off the deep end. This show is not for perfect people or people who've never made mistakes. This show is for the rest of us who are just trying to pick up the pieces and find a way forward with vulnerability and honesty.

    Are Black People the Real Israelites? A Christian & Hebrew Israelite Sit Down.

    Does your ancestry determine whether you're one of God's chosen people? Lecrae sits down with Hebrew Israelite artist Zaydok and pastor and author Jerome Gay for an honest conversation about race, faith, and identity. What do Hebrew Israelites actually believe? Why do different groups disagree? And where do those beliefs align with, or depart from, Christianity? Together, they examine the controversial 12 Tribes chart, the whitewashing of Christianity, scriptures used to justify slavery, and the difference between honoring your heritage and making it the foundation of your faith. Zaydok also challenges beliefs within his own movement, including claims that salvation is limited by race. It's a conversation about belonging, what we believe about Jesus, and how to talk through real disagreements without losing sight of one another's humanity. Where do you draw the line between celebrating your identity and making it an idol? Let us know in the comments. #Lecrae #TheDeepEnd #HebrewIsraelites #Christianity #Faith

    I Asked 4 Divorced Christians What The Church Has Wrong

    Divorce is one of the hardest things to talk about in church. We know how to celebrate marriage, but we don't always know how to sit with people when it ends. I sat down with four Christians who have lived through divorce or a broken engagement. We talked about the warning signs, the grief, the questions they had for God, and how they began to rebuild. They were honest about their own choices and about the ways the church helped—or made an already painful season harder. If you've ever felt like the end of a relationship made you less welcome in church, I hope this conversation reminds you that your story isn't over.

    Rickey Smiley Has a Deep Conversation With Lecrae

    Rickey Smiley sits down with Lecrae for a deeply personal conversation about faith, grief, and the pain hidden behind a lifetime of making people laugh. Rickey opens up about losing his 32-year-old son, Brandon, and the devastating journey that followed. He shares what it was like learning the news while alone in Dallas, having to lead his family through the tragedy, and why he says he didn't simply lean on God—God carried him. They also discuss Rickey's upbringing in the Black church, surviving being shot at point-blank range, the golden era of '90s comedy, the importance of therapy, and why Black men need the freedom to cry. Rickey also reveals how friends disappeared and people attacked him publicly during the darkest year of his life. This is an honest conversation about trusting God when life no longer makes sense, finding gratitude in unimaginable grief, and using your pain to help somebody else survive theirs.
