They was like, he sold his soul. That's when it started to get ugly. You had a season where you wanted to take your life? Oh, yes. All I kept thinking about was my little kids at the time finding my lifeless body and the trauma that would have caused them.

God, I don't know if you're real. It was like a faint voice that was like, I'm here. I'm real. And I wish I would have listened to that voice.

Hey, before we get into today's episode, I wanna share two quick things with you. First, if these videos have meant anything to you, if they've encouraged your faith or helped you see the gospel a little bit more clearly, I just wanna ask you to subscribe. A lot of people tune in every single week and haven't hit the button yet. It only takes two seconds and it helps us keep putting these conversations in front of people who need them. And the second thing, this one I've honestly been really excited to say, I'm officially announcing our ministry's biggest live event to date, Open Heaven Live Podcast Tour. It's happening November 8th this year at the Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory in Irving, Texas.

Welcome back to another episode of the Bryce Crawford Podcast. I'm Bryce, and today I'm with a special guest today.

We're here with Lecrae. Yes, sir. Come on. How you feeling? I'm great, man. Good to be with you. You know, I admire you a lot because you have been following Jesus in an industry that can be labeled a lot of different things. Mm-hmm. Light, dark, good, bad, everything in between through success, through criticism, through hardship, through trial. Before we get into kind of all the details, I really want to know, where do you believe God has you right now? That's a great question.

Lecrae 2:20

I think I've always been a bridge. You know, I think the Lord, the labor is a few, the harvest is plenty. But a lot of people don't see, when they see like, the music industry or they see like hip hop or rap world, they don't see a harvest. And I think I'm like a bridge trying to help people see like, that's the harvest. There's not a lot of workers over there. That's the problem, right? The labor is a few. So I just see like, like God using me as a missionary. Um, but I'm in a strange land where people are a little bit afraid to touch. They're like, uh, it's a little dark and dangerous over there, but I love it. I love being in the, in the place and in the space.

Well, you've been doing this for like 20-ish years, right? 20-ish years. And, you know, I just got to throw this in there. Come on. Right? Like I'm 22. Yeah. So it's like, you know, could you maybe be my dad? Maybe. But you're like one of those dudes that like, you know how out of courtesy you tell someone, oh, no, no, like you don't look old. Yeah. But you're like doing it out of courtesy because you just kind of like feel bad, but that's respectful. Yeah. You actually don't look old.

Lecrae 3:28

It's a good thing. My son is 18. We travel together a lot.
