Summary

In this episode, Ekemini and Christina are at the table with Lecrae to talk about his new book, I Am Restored: How I Lost My Religion But Found My Faith. Lecrae is a Two-time GRAMMY winning hip-hop artist and bestselling author. Lecrae has inspired millions with his redemptive and gut-honest art. But when his personal life spun into chaos, he was forced to face the buried impact of the unhealed wounds--sexual abuse, physical trauma, addiction, and depression--that threatened to tear it all apart. Along the way, he realized the wounds we all carry have the potential to be unlikely guides to healing and freedom for ourselves, and others. With vulnerable honesty and transformational yet simple steps you can apply today, Lecrae shares the personal practices he uses in his daily life for mental, emotional, and spiritual health. With powerful prose, he gives an unflinching look at the personal and public spaces that sadly hurt us so often--culture, politics, family, church, personal failure--and reminds us that learning to let go and forgive is the birthplace for the life of creativity and freedom God has for us. I Am Restored is an inspiring charge to embrace the lasting healing and restoration available now, and that we all desperately long for, because no matter what you've experienced, God is near, He hears, and He's not done with you yet. Ekemini and Christina asked him all the questions and Lecrae did not hold back. He laid it all on the table. Pull up a chair and have a seat at the table because the tea is hot!
