Summary
Pastor Mike Todd sits down with Lecrae for one of the rawest and most unfiltered conversations we've ever had on The Deep End. They get real about what it takes to stay obedient to God while handling massive influence, public scrutiny, and private sacrifice.
Mike opens up like never before — covering everything from hidden battles to viral moments — and shares the heartbeat behind his bold moves.
Let's go to the Deep End!
