Somebody tell em!” This song does not emphasize Christ or God as much as it does living for God and that someday, for the lost, “The party's over here.” Superhuman And what I want to do with what I have is not just help people get good answers-I want to help people ask better questions.The song, Ayo! by Andy Mineo raps about “Enjoying God's gifts” and “You know what the dish” as “They made us the flying fish” and while “Dudes find bravado from the bottom of the bottle.” His witness through rap reminds those who get bravery from a bottle that “they got the face twisted up like Picasso there's another way to live. I think that can be unhealthy, because it can remove the thinking and the processing out of the individual. It’s heavily focused on a single person being the director-the leader of all things. We kind of live in like an answer driven culture, where the pastor is the guy who has all the answers. Because when you ask questions, it causes the person engaging to think, process, feel-coming to their own conclusions. When I look at Jewish culture, where Yeshua was from, the way He taught His disciples was primarily by answering their questions with questions. How do you navigate fans pressuring you to affirm or speak out against things happening around us, and how do you handle the stress when someone approaches you regarding such issues?Īndy: From what I can see, I think people have a really tough time thinking for themselves. For example, if you aren’t vocal about a cultural topic, they pressure you into answering if you support this or that, and why you do or do not. But I try to move with integrity and let the chips fall where they may, because it’s too overwhelming of a task to pay attention to everybody.ĬhurchLeaders: We live a in culture that pressures artists to explain how and why to believe something. I understand how they can be confused or judgmental, because I probably would have been them at one point. What? So I have more compassion for people. “Oh, he got a Grammy because he’s in the Illuminati. He said,”When people don’t know the whole story, they just make one up.” And so I think that happens a lot. Lecrae said something one time that I thought was really helpful. So I just try to do the best I can with what I’ve got. But, like what Lecrae said, you can’t engage all of it, because it’s just literally impossible.

And I think those things translate publicly, but the internet has given us access to people in a way to criticize them or praise them, and probably in ways that are unhealthy. I try to please God, my family, and my wife. Outside of being an entertainer, I try to live my life to a standard. And with that comes a certain level of responsibility when people consume it. We entertain you, and so you enjoy the things we create in your homes and in your cars.

And there’s an exchange-like my art or the thing that you enjoy-because, at the core of what we do, we are entertainers. I’d just lose my mind.Īndy: When you do anything in the public eye, you serve the public. But I can’t be worried about, you know, “madamj744” out on YouTube. I have a close circle of friends, I have my own church, I have my own kind of leadership that I’m connected to, and those are the people that I have to be most concerned with about-how I’m moving and navigating. Andy’s song “ None Of My Business” kind of rings to mind where it’s like, I’m sorry, I just can’t be responsible for everyone’s opinion out there about what they think I should be doing and how I should be doing it.
