Why I Stay: Lecrae on Race, Religion, & Restoration

Chart-topping hip hop artist Lecrae talks about his journey from finding Jesus, through wrestling with faith and His followers, to coming to peace.
Lecrae is a rapper who came to fame with his 116 clique and unashamed rhymes. He was a darling of the young, restless reformed movement until he began to speak up about his experiences as a Black man in church. Lecrae has never been one to hold back, and his courage and clarity about race in America cost him dearly. His career suffered, his marriage nearly fell apart, and his faith was empty for a time. It was a trip to Africa that gave Lecrae the separation he needed to find the core of the Gospel and begin his journey to restoration and healing.

I have to admit, never heard of him before and some of what he said was tough to hear, but that was worth the 30 minute investment.
He discussion about the church (the business) versus the church (the community of believers) is similar to how Roman Catholics refer to the big “C” Church versus the little “c” church. The Church is headed by God and will survive, the church is headed by human beings who can make mistakes and will struggle at times.
