The Deep End With Lecrae

Latest Episodes:

I'm Definitely Getting in Trouble for This Dec 05, 2025

Show notes

Lecrae goes fully unfiltered in this episode—breaking down the AI-Christian music debate, the motives behind viral posts, political fatigue, Christian persecution, racialized narratives, and the cost of actually following Jesus when culture co-opts faith for its own agenda.

From Forrest Frank's comments… to AI artists… to Epstein files… to Nigeria… to Chicago crime narratives… to why Christianity keeps getting used as a weapon… to Kai Cenat publicly praising Jesus—Lecrae processes it all in real time. No script. No PR filter. Just raw, honest reflection on a chaotic week online.

If you've ever wondered "How should a Christian think about all this?"—this episode goes there.

Let's go to the Deep End!

The Divorce Story Toni Collier Never Planned to Tell Nov 28, 2025

Show notes

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.

How KevOnStage Navigates Hollywood Without Losing His Soul - Nov 21, 2025

Show notes

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.

Are Fraternities Demonic? Oct 31, 2025

Show notes

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.

Former Pussycat Doll, Kaya Jones, opens up to Lecrae about the dark side of fame, the spiritual war behind the music industry, and how Jesus redeemed her life.

From being signed by R. Kelly at 12 years old to witnessing the deepest corruption in pop culture, Kaya reveals what really happens behind the stage lights - and how God rescued her from the darkness.

The demonic systems running the entertainment industry
Finding identity and freedom through Christ
Why she left the Pussycat Dolls at their peak
How Messianic Judaism reshaped her faith

From the fallout of Charlie Kirk's assassination to the pressure Christians feel to "pick a side," he shares his personal experience of being pulled into the crossfire. Lecrae opens up about a shocking vision he had in Africa, the spiritual realities behind political violence, and why the Kingdom of God cannot be reduced to red vs. blue.

Why Christians are pressured to join the culture war
Lecrae's personal story after Charlie Kirk's death
A powerful vision revealing the spiritual battle behind political violence
Empire vs. Kingdom logic: what Jesus modelled in the midst of conflict
