The JEEN YUHS Dilemma: What the Kanye West documentary can teach us about health and wholeness

This episode is sort of a one off, and we’ll have a few of these sprinkled in between our regularly scheduled programming throughout this season. But in case you missed it, Netflix released a documentary about the artist formerly known as Kanye West, entitled JEEN-YUHS—and before I go further, let this serve as a public service announcement that there’s a good chance we may spoil it for you if you haven’t watched it yet at this point. If that’s you, watch it first, and then come back and engage with us. Kanye West has to be one of our generations most self-proclaimed greats…you might have seen the rants and fights with the media to convince everyone that he is as brilliant as he thinks he is…and it turns out he is probably right; but at what cost? Today, Vermon, John and myself discuss the film and a number of key themes we picked up on. Kanye has become just about everything he worked for; a producer, a rapper, a designer, a husband, a father, and…a billionaire. But is he healthy? And is he whole? We talk about how the film addresses these ideas and more on this episode of the Unsilent Church.
