Summary
Episode 539
Lecrae is a Grammy Award-winning, platinum-selling artist and a New York Times bestselling author, as well as an entrepreneur, speaker and co-owner/president of Reach Records.
He has sold more than 3 million copies and has been nominated for five Grammy Awards, including a win for Best Gospel Album. From his 2017 album, "All Things Work Together," his single "I'll Find You" (featuring Tori Kelly) is now certified as "Platinum" by the Recording Industry Association of America (meaning it has sold 2 million units).
On October 13, Lecrae is releasing his new book, "I Am Restored," and that coincides with a new album, "Restoration," released in August, as well as a forthcoming documentary.
You can download a free sample chapter of the book if you pre-order at lecrae.com/restored and get a free single (not on his latest album) called "I Am Restored."
On today's podcast, Lecrae shares about his love of the NBA, meeting Michael Jordan, what it means to be restored, how he came to faith in Christ, and why he feels it is important to bring awareness to social justice issues.
