We welcome you now to a true church perspective with Pastor G. Craig Lewis.

Stuck out to me with you and Tasha was you did talk about the idea of collaborating with secular artists.

I love what you guys said about the idea of reaching out to non-believers and people coming to you and saying,

you know, I've never been exposed to this kind of music. That's right. But on the other spectrum,

there were a lot of commentary about you may be introducing Christians to, you know, the secular

side of music and of life as well. What are your thoughts on that? I would say, man, always, you know,

think about the person's intention.

And then also, man, how will the world know who we are if we're not engaging, you know?

And it's not as if we collaborated to make some song that was dishonorable to God.

It was that we collaborated with people who said, hey, you know, can we come to church on Sunday with you?

You know what I mean?

Can we sing this song on Sunday?

No, you can't sing the song.

You're secular.

You better not sing when the praises go up.

You know, it's like, hey, they wanted to come and sing with us.

Are they not allowed to, you know, will we kick him out of church on Sunday? And when we say, hey, you got to shut your mouth because we saw you on the other station doing whatever. No, we wouldn't

do that. We would welcome them and allow them the opportunity. And I think that's what they wanted,

you know, I know for a fact, that's what Ty wanted. You know, he loves gospel music. He wanted to do he wanted to connect and we had some good conversations off

for that we thank you for our sister we thank you for how you have lifted her up now we're asking

that you will touch her now let your power be made manifest we come against the enemy on every hand

and we claim the victory.
