The Deep End With Lecrae

Avery Austin Jr. — known online as GodLogic — has 500K+ subscribers and streams apologetics debates live three times a week. He grew up as a preacher's kid in Lancaster, California. Got ordained at 20. Got stumped by a Jehovah's Witness at a community college. And decided the whole church needed to get equipped. In this episode of The Deep End, Lecrae plays TikTok devil's advocate — throwing Islam's best arguments, Hebrew Israelite talking points, and the problem of evil at GodLogic live. He answers every single one. They also go deep on: what happens to the souls you never hear from again, the gap between intellectual certainty and real faith, and what GodLogic prays for after every stream. ------------- _______________________________________________ Step Into Reconstruction: https://reconstruct-u.com/ 📱Connect with us on Instagram! -   / deependlecrae   📱Connect with Lecrae - https://linktr.ee/Lecrae Stream the Deluxe Album:   / reconstruction   👕 Shop Lecrae Merch: https://lecrae.store/ _______________________________________________ Get paid EARLY. with the Earn In App. Use code: DEEPENDWITHLECRAE_PODCAST: https://tinyurl.com/3veyjh6j Reclaim your faith from OCD.

John Bevere spent 40 years avoiding the end times. He thought it made people lazy, argumentative, and passive. Then God told him to study it — and after 1,000+ hours in Scripture, everything changed. In this episode of The Deep End with Lecrae, John unpacks what he found: the Second Coming isn't an event to fear. It's a wedding to prepare for. And there's a mathematical case — built entirely from Scripture — that it's closer than most people realize. John breaks down why Jesus rebuked Jerusalem for missing the signs of His first coming, how the Dead Sea Scrolls upend everything you thought you knew about the Rapture, and the one Greek word that transforms anxiety about the end times into something far more powerful: eager expectation.  This isn't prophecy sensationalism. It's 40 years of wisdom finally unlocked — and it will change how you live today. _______________________________________________ Step Into Reconstruction: https://reconstruct-u.com/ 📱Connect with us on Instagram! -   / deependlecrae   📱Connect with Lecrae - https://linktr.ee/Lecrae Stream the Deluxe Album:   / reconstruction   👕 Shop Lecrae Merch: https://lecrae.store/ _______________________________________________

Former Muslim, attorney, and apologist Abdu Murray spent nine years studying Islam, Christianity, philosophy, and history. By year two, he had enough evidence to convert. It took seven more years to act on it. In this conversation, Abdu and Lecrae go deep on why the cross does not insult God's greatness. It proves it. They explore how identity in Middle Eastern culture can make leaving Islam feel impossible, which Quran passages pointed Abdu toward the Bible, and what his nine-year search looked like from the inside. They also discuss the identity crisis AI is quietly accelerating, why cancel culture is really assassination culture with better branding, why many people are missing the point in the gender conversation, and what it means to answer a person instead of a question. Abdu also shares, for the first time in this conversation, that his father was murdered in October 2024. What Abdu says about that moment, and how it reshaped the way Abdu sees the problem of evil, is worth the whole episode. Topics covered: Islam and Christianity, the problem of evil, apologetics, identity and the imago Dei, AI and human worth, gender ideology, just war theory, deconstruction, and what it costs to tell the truth when your whole family is watching. Abdu Murray is the founder of Embrace the Truth Ministry, author of Fake ID, and host of multiple podcasts reaching millions globally.

Lecrae sits down with Michael Miller — co-host of Remnant Radio, church planter, and one of the most scripturally grounded voices in the deliverance space — to talk about what the Bible actually says about demons, healing, spiritual authority, and why the charismatic church keeps producing charlatans. No easy answers. No hype. Just a long, honest look at the stuff most pastors won't touch. They get into: Michael's journey from a broken home with a Jewish mother and Mormon father to being discipled by Jack Deere. Why the cessationist argument doesn't hold up scripturally. What "demonization" actually means in Greek — and why "possession" is the wrong word. Whether Christians can have demons (spoiler: the early church didn't debate it). The Scottish border clan curse from 1525 that's still showing up in prayer sessions. How to tell a false prophet from a real one. Why prophecy is supposed to be local — and why the YouTube prophets keep getting it wrong. And Lecrae shares his own story: the name he kept praying over for weeks, the girl who couldn't walk, and what happened when he finally said it out loud. 📱Follow our new instagram! - https://www.instagram.com/deependlecr... 📱Connect with Lecrae - https://linktr.ee/Lecrae 📮 Join the conversation… Exclusive previews, discounts, bonus content, and more: https://deependwithlecrae.com/ Stream the Album: https://music.apple.com/us/album/reconstruction/1828052699 👕 Shop Lecrae Merch: https://lecrae.store/ 0:00 The First Demon He Ever Encountered 1:07 Introducing Michael Miller 4:42 A Jewish Mother, a Mormon Father, and a Hidden Bible 7:00 Why He Couldn't Handle the Pentecostal Packaging 8:25 Praying to Be Discipled by Jack Deere (And It Worked) 9:17 [Ad: Talkiatry] 11:30 Lecrae's Background: The Spooky Stuff Was Off Limits 13:56 Why Lecrae Started Digging Into the Supernatural 15:26 How Michael Got Grounded in Scripture on Spiritual Things 18:18 John Wimber Prayed for the Sick for Three Years With Nothing 20:03 The First Time Michael Actually Saw Something 23:10 The Night Before: He Was Frustrated With God 25:17 Who Believes in This and Who Doesn't 27:45 So When It Comes to Demons... 28:32 The Full Story: The Demon in South Africa 33:25 Why Did It Listen to You and Not Her? 38:07 Christian Authority Over Demons: It's Position, Not Gift 40:46 Can Christians Have Demons? 44:29 The Greek Word "Demonize" and Why It Changes Everything 46:56 What Tertullian Said (The Guy Who Invented the Word "Trinity") 49:25 The Scottish Border Clan Curse From 1525 54:09 What Makes a Curse Effective? 59:16 Why Michael Miller Is Not Afraid of Demons 1:01:48 The Woman in Austria: Endometriosis and What Happened Next 1:03:08 What Even Is a Demon?

For three seasons, people have been asking the same question: what does Lecrae's wife actually think about all of this? She said no every time. Until now. Darragh Moore has been behind the scenes since before the music, before the Grammys, before any of it. She engineered his first album, supported him through clinical depression, sent him to the BET Cipher while she was in labor, and kept the family grounded while the world got louder. She's never needed the spotlight, and that's exactly why this conversation matters. This is the episode Lecrae's audience has been waiting three seasons for. _______________________________________________ 📱Follow our new instagram! - https://www.instagram.com/deependlecr... 📱Connect with Lecrae - https://linktr.ee/Lecrae 📮 Join the conversation… Exclusive previews, discounts, bonus content, and more: https://deependwithlecrae.com/ Stream the Album: https://music.apple.com/us/album/reconstruction/1828052699 👕 Shop Lecrae Merch: https://lecrae.store/ ________________________________________________

In this episode Lecrae goes deep on the Iran conflict from a spiritual lens nobody else is using. Not political. Not partisan. Just honest wrestling from a believer trying to figure out what it means to follow Jesus in a world that's always at war. He breaks down the four frameworks Christians use to think about war, pacifism, just war, Christian nationalism, and peacemaking, and applies each one to what's happening right now. He reacts to the military commanders calling this a holy war, the Crusades parallel nobody wants to talk about, the White House TikTok that made him emotional, and the fact that the fastest growing church in the world is in the country we're bombing. This isn't a news episode. It's a soul check. Topics covered: Christian ethics of war, just war theory, pacifism, Christian nationalism, Pete Hegseth, end times theology, Ezekiel 38-39, the Iranian underground church, Russell Moore, Wendell Berry, what war does to the people watching it, kingdom over nation. _______________________________________________ 📱Follow our new instagram! - https://www.instagram.com/deependlecr... 📱Connect with Lecrae - https://linktr.ee/Lecrae 📮 Join the conversation… Exclusive previews, discounts, bonus content, and more: https://deependwithlecrae.com/ Stream the Album: https://music.apple.com/us/album/reconstruction/1828052699 👕 Shop Lecrae Merch: https://lecrae.store/ ________________________________________________

Can demons read your minds? Do they possess people outright, or is it something more subtle? And what does any of this have to do with the Epstein files? In Part 2 of this conversation, Lecrae and Dr. Joel Muddamalle go deeper into the unseen world, breaking down how demonic powers actually operate, what "entry points" really mean, and why the line between oppression and possession is less clear-cut than most Christians assume. They also unpack Psalm 121, the geopolitical theology of Daniel 10, and why Paul's language for "powers and principalities" connects directly to the false gods of the Old Testament. Plus, the underwater question you didn't see coming: outside of infidelity, is divorce ever justified? Dr. Joel Muddamalle is the Director of Theology and Research at Proverbs 31 Ministries and the author of The Unseen Battle. _______________________________________________ 📱Follow our new instagram! - https://www.instagram.com/deependlecr... 📱Connect with Lecrae - https://linktr.ee/Lecrae 📮 Join the conversation… Exclusive previews, discounts, bonus content, and more: https://deependwithlecrae.com/ Stream the Album: https://music.apple.com/us/album/reconstruction/1828052699 👕 Shop Lecrae Merch: https://lecrae.store/ ________________________________________________ Reclaim your faith from OCD.

What if Genesis is way bigger than you were taught? Not just Adam, Eve, and a talking snake — but fallen angels, half-human giants, divine councils, and a cosmic war that's still happening right now. Dr. Joel Muddamalle (PhD, theologian, bestselling author of The Unseen Battle) sits down with Lecrae to break down what most Christians were never taught about Genesis 6, the Nephilim, the sons of God, the Book of Enoch, and why the ancient world understood the Bible in ways that would completely blow your modern mind. This is Part 1. Part 2 gets into demons and their real-world impact. In this episode: Why Genesis has 3 "falls", not just one Who the "sons of God" in Genesis 6 actually were The Nephilim: what they were, what happened to them, and whether remnants survived the flood The Divine Council worldview and the scholarship of Dr. Michael Heizer The Book of Enoch: what it is, why it matters, and why it's not in your Bible The Tower of Babel and where the gods of the nations came from Why the earliest church held views your pastor probably never mentioned The cosmic spiritual war behind the division you see in the world today Dr. Joel Muddamalle is a PhD theologian, bestselling author, Director of Theology & Research at Proverbs 31 Ministries, co-host of Therapy & Theology, and a preaching team member at Transformation Church with Pastor Derwin Gray. His book The Unseen Battle is his doctoral dissertation turned into a resource for everyday believers. _______________________________________________ 📱Follow our new instagram! - https://www.instagram.com/deependlecr... 📱Connect with Lecrae - https://linktr.ee/Lecrae 📮 Join the conversation… Exclusive previews, discounts, bonus content, and more: https://deependwithlecrae.com/ Stream the Album: https://music.apple.com/us/album/reconstruction/1828052699 👕 Shop Lecrae Merch: https://lecrae.store/ ________________________________________________ Protect your family today at meetfabric.com/lecrae Reclaim your faith from OCD.

They sit down to talk about 36 years of marriage, the addiction that almost ended it, what it took to stay, and why they chose to go public when most people would have gone quiet. Terry opens up about disclosure, treatment, and learning to feel things he spent a lifetime burying. Rebecca talks about what grace actually costs. Together they make the case that the hardest seasons of your life might be the foundation of everything that comes next. One of the most honest conversations we have had on this show. _______________________________________________ 📱Follow our new instagram! - https://www.instagram.com/deependlecr... 📱Connect with Lecrae - https://linktr.ee/Lecrae 📮 Join the conversation… Exclusive previews, discounts, bonus content, and more: https://deependwithlecrae.com/ Stream the Album: https://music.apple.com/us/album/reconstruction/1828052699 👕 Shop Lecrae Merch: https://lecrae.store/ ________________________________________________

That father wound sent him chasing significance all the way to Hollywood, where he became one of the most prominent adult film stars in the industry under the name Raquel Reed, appearing in over a thousand films. But behind the fame was a man quietly unraveling. In this raw and unflinching conversation with Lecrae, Joshua pulls back the curtain on what the adult film industry actually looks like from the inside, the suicidal ideation that nearly ended his life, a sexual assault in Paris he never told anyone about, and the moment a bank teller said his real name for the first time in 18 months and changed everything. Now a pastor, husband, and father, Joshua talks about what healing actually looks like after trauma, why porn has nothing to do with sex and everything to do with intimacy, and how a woman named Hope and a heavenly Father gave him back his identity.

In this episode of The Deep End, we go deep with Dr. Preston Sprinkle, biblical scholar, author, podcaster, and co-founder of the Center for Faith, Sexuality & Gender. Preston shares how a rigorous study of Scripture led him to unexpected conclusions on two of the most emotionally charged debates in the church today: women in leadership and LGBTQ+ sexuality. We talk about his new book From Genesis to Junior — an honest, real-time exegetical journey through what the Bible actually says about women and church leadership — and why he didn't know where he'd land before he started writing it. We also get into the nuance behind yes-or-no culture, why "homosexuality is sin" isn't as simple a question as it sounds, the 83% statistic about LGBT people raised in the church, and what pastoral compassion actually looks like when someone asks "Did God make me gay?" This is a conversation about truth AND grace — not one or the other. Topics covered: What faithfulness to Jesus really looks like The debate over women in church leadership (complementarian vs. egalitarian) Primogeniture, Genesis 1–3, and what Adam's creation order actually means Same-sex attraction, celibacy, and navigating hard pastoral questions Why Preston refuses to give thin answers to thick questions The danger of cultural Christianity and sound-bite theolog _______________________________________________ 📱Follow our new instagram! - https://www.instagram.com/deependlecr... 📱 Connect with Lecrae - https://linktr.ee/Lecrae 📮 Join the conversation… Exclusive previews, discounts, bonus content, and more: https://deependwithlecrae.com/ Stream the Album: https://music.apple.com/us/album/reconstruction/1828052699 👕 Shop Lecrae Merch: https://lecrae.store/

Go to talkiatry.com/lecrae to get matched with a psychiatrist today. I'm excited for this one, fam. Today on The Deep End, I'm sitting down with my brother Country Wayne. Most of the world knows him for the billions of streams, the Netflix specials, and the viral skits that make your "mama's mama" laugh. But when you really look at his history, you see a story that's way deeper and more serious than the comedy he puts out. We're talking about a man who lost his mom at 11, grew up surrounded by the drug game in Milan, Georgia, and eventually became a "doughboy" himself. But even when he was in the middle of all that, he never let what he was doing shake his faith in who he was. What We Dive Into: The Exit Strategy: Wayne talks about how he was trying to get out of the streets the entire time he was in them, eventually picking up a Bible at age 24 and reading it from the beginning. The Narrow Escape: He shares the wild reality of going viral while still "selling licks" and how he finally quit the game just one day before the feds knocked on his door. Faith Over Fame: Why he isn't ashamed to scream the name of Jesus and why he feels he's "endorsed" by God rather than the industry. Real Success: How he manages being a father of 10 and why he puts his business and family's well-being over the hollow parts of fame. Regrets and Redemption: A transparent look at his biggest regret—not doing what he was supposed to be doing sooner—and how losing his mother taught him that nothing in this world is truly "real" except faith. "I just laugh through the fire... I knew I had a purpose and I just knew it was always tied to God." Wayne is a true innovator and a serial entrepreneur who used the skills he learned in the streets to build a kingdom-minded empire. This conversation isn't just about comedy; it's about the grit, wisdom, and divine timing it takes to change your life. Watch the full episode now to see how Wayne turned a mess into a masterpiece. _______________________________________________ 📱Follow our new instagram! - https://www.instagram.com/deependlecr... 📱 Connect with Lecrae - https://linktr.ee/Lecrae 📮 Join the conversation… Exclusive previews, discounts, bonus content, and more: https://deependwithlecrae.com/ Stream the Album: https://music.apple.com/us/album/reconstruction/1828052699 👕 Shop Lecrae Merch: https://lecrae.store/

What does it really take to survive marriage, ministry, fame, mental health battles, and faith... all at the same time? In this episode of The Deep End, Lecrae sits down with gospel icons, actors, and comedians David Mann and Tamela Mann for one of the most raw and honest conversations we've ever had. They open up about their nearly 40-year marriage, childhood trauma, poverty, blended family challenges, public scrutiny, depression, suicidal thoughts, and the faith that held them together when everything else was falling apart. From dumpster-diving as teenagers to standing ovations with Tyler Perry, from silent suffering to healing through therapy and prayer. This is survival, grace, repentance, forgiveness, and love that refuses to quit. If you've ever wondered: – How strong marriages are actually built – What faith looks like in depression, not just success – How to support a spouse who is drowning silently – Why therapy and prayer are not enemies – Or how God redeems the most painful chapters This conversation is for you.   _______________________________________________ Chapter Markers 00:00 – When success hides silent suffering   01:25 – Introducing David & Tamela Mann   03:59 – Authentic faith vs. church perfection   05:25 – How their friendship turned into marriage   07:58 – Singing together before fame   10:27 – Realizing adulthood and responsibility   14:23 – Falling in love through friendship   16:31 – Childhood trauma and broken homes   17:50 – Dumpster diving and survival   18:53 – Witnessing abuse and learning anger   21:03 – Choosing marriage when divorce felt easier   23:13 – The night the lights were shut off   26:24 – "The knock at the door" — discovering another child   30:02 – Choosing unity over jealousy   33:39 – Feeling alone inside marriage   37:08 – From Kirk Franklin to Tyler Perry   42:36 – When the worst career moment became the best   46:26 – Fame, generosity, and trauma behind the scenes   49:16 – Working together as husband and wife   55:03 – Depression, shame, and suicidal thoughts   58:11 – "Thousands watched me drown"   59:00 – A wife realizing she missed the warning signs   01:01:37 – Therapy, boundaries, and healing   01:04:29 – Faith that carries you through the night   01:06:19 – Music, success, and staying grounded   01:10:48 – Marriage as shared light, not competition   01:14:09 – What's next for David & Tamela   01:16:21 – Final words of hope and grace   _______________________________________________ 📱Follow our new instagram! -   / deependlecr.  .   📱Connect with Lecrae - https://linktr.ee/Lecrae   📮 Join the conversation… Exclusive previews, discounts, bonus content, and more:https://deependwithlecrae.com/   Stream the Album:   / reconstruction   👕 Shop Lecrae Merch: https://lecrae.store/

They rewind the tape on the early days of 116, talk about what it was really like building something that would later shape an entire movement, and reflect on what they didn't understand at the time — about leadership, influence, pressure, and God's timing. Along the way, they unpack: How none of this was part of a master plan — and why that matters The tension between calling and control What leadership looks like when you don't actually want to be "the leader" How God used imperfect people, imperfect theology, and imperfect moments to do something lasting Why the impact often becomes clear only in the rearview mirror There are serious moments. There are nostalgic moments. There are hilarious stories (including tour chaos, bad pranks, and arguments that started because everyone was tired and hungry). But underneath it all is a deeper question: What does it look like to stay faithful over decades — not just seasons? This episode isn't just about music. It's about friendship that lasts, calling that matures, and a faith that grows deeper as it gets tested by real life. Whether you've followed these guys since the early 116 days or you're meeting them for the first time, this conversation is a reminder that God rarely writes straight lines — but He does write meaningful stories. _______________________________ 📱Follow our new instagram! - https://www.instagram.com/deependlecrae/?locale=en_US%2Cen_US 📱Connect with Lecrae - https://linktr.ee/Lecrae 📮 Join the conversation… Exclusive previews, discounts, bonus content, and more: https://deependwithlecrae.com/ Stream the Album https://music.apple.com/us/album/reconstruction/1828052699 👕 Shop Lecrae Merch: https://lecrae.store/ See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This one got real. Toni Collier came on The Deep End and opened up about her story in a way that honestly stunned me. We talked childhood trauma, addiction, abusive marriages, infidelity, church hurt, losing everything, rebuilding from nothing, and how Jesus met her in the ashes. She let us into the parts most people hide… the parts she had to grieve her way through while still being a mom, still trying to follow Jesus, still trying to breathe. And what I love is that she didn't come here pretending. She came here healing. If you've walked through betrayal, divorce, heartbreak, or just feel like you're carrying more than you can hold. Toni's new book Don't Try This Alone is all about why we need people, and after this episode… you'll get why. Lean in. There's real hope in here. --------------------- 🚨 LECRAE IS GOING ON TOUR 🚨 GET YOUR TICKETS HERE: https://lecrae.com/tour 📱Follow our new instagram! - https://www.instagram.com/deependlecrae/?locale=en_US%2Cen_US 📱Connect with Lecrae - https://linktr.ee/Lecrae 📮 Join the conversation… Exclusive previews, discounts, bonus content, and more: https://deependwithlecrae.com/ Pre Save the album: https://music.apple.com/us/album/reconstruction/1828052699 👕 Shop Lecrae Merch: https://lecrae.store/ See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode, Lecrae sits down with the one-and-only KevOnStage for a raw, hilarious, surprisingly vulnerable conversation about fame, faith, Hollywood, fatherhood, grief, marriage, ambition, and what it means to stay grounded when the whole world has an opinion about your life. Kev opens up about the early days of his career, why contentment matters more than clout, the pressure of being a public Christian on the internet, and how he learned to stop defending himself to strangers. He talks navigating Hollywood without losing his convictions, dealing with public grief, raising kids while staying sane, and why laughter has become a form of healing after losing his brother. They unpack the Den of Kings tension with NLE Choppa and Jonathan Majors, the viral Ray J back-smack moment, growing up churchy with no real guidance, and why so many Christians privately break the rules they publicly preach. Kev also shares behind-the-scenes of Churchy, his new show Safe Space, and how marriage, purpose, and heartbreak have shaped the art he makes today. If you love honest conversation, cultural insight, deep faith reflections, or you just want to laugh until you cry…this one is special. --------------------- 🚨 LECRAE IS GOING ON TOUR 🚨 GET YOUR TICKETS HERE: https://lecrae.com/tour 📱Follow our new instagram! - https://www.instagram.com/deependlecrae/?locale=en_US%2Cen_US 📱Connect with Lecrae - https://linktr See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

If my son or daughter came to me and said, "Dad, I'm thinking about joining a fraternity or sorority," I'd probably say no, but not for the reasons you think. In this episode, I share my own story of pledging Kappa Alpha Psi, why I joined, why I left, and how my perspective has changed over the years. I've seen people go back and forth for decades about whether Christians should denounce Black Greek life. Some call it idolatry; others call it community. I've lived both sides of it. We talk about the real history behind these organizations, why fear often drives the conversation, and what the Bible actually says about things like oaths, culture, and conscience. This isn't about picking sides, it's about being consistent and letting your faith lead your decisions instead of fear. Whether you've pledged, denounced, or just don't get the hype, I think this will give you something to think about.
