I think he is expressing what alot of people won't say out loud. Alot of his songs are powerful because it comes from deep within him. Alot of people can relate.
On point. If Dax song is his prayer 🙏🏻, that is the way we have all felt at times. His deep passion and his unbridled cry out to God is trembling my soul the strength it took to just lay it allllll out there real with the pain with the anger with the passion we should have when praying to our Daddy in Heaven.
Dax said on Genius that this was a “poem” he wrote a long long time ago. many years ago and it’s the same with a lot of his music with messages and he jjsy made music out of it
@@kaleb8438 it's not really trash but some of the song is good the other part I hated was cursing and when he was wondering if he even hears him and asking god question Now if you read the bible I don't go church but my grandmother reads the bible and she said a part that dax should have listen to before releasing God say that he"ll answer all questions when he comes to claim earth so it dosen't make since asking patients is 1 of the beat thing you are rewarded with in life other than that the song is great
This felt like a prayer torn from my own heart, full of anxiety and frustration about the injustices all around us and pleading with God for answers that only God can provide.
I don't think the lyrics are of a person lacking in faith, but rather of a person acting in faith despite a huge wall of doubt. I really appreciate this song and my heart goes out to all those who struggle in their faith more than I do.
@Googleaint Shit Explain it better then. Explain how everything about this song isn't screaming out "I *want* to believe, I *have* believed, but you're making it very hard and I could really use some help right now."
@Googleaint Shit The way I see it, the song is just another version of the book of Job. The thing is Job wasn't complaining (at least in God's ear). He was praying and God gets that. Dax cussed in his prayer Job cursed the day he was born in his prayer Yet God still focused on their hearts. And what's in it? A cry for help
Great Voice but Lyrics is nonsense. It's something like Dentist is teaching an Ophthalmologist how to operate an eye. God has already planned on how He will operate this world, period. All we have to do is how to deal with it and that's why God sent his only Begotten Son to show how to live . We have to ask God the Wisdom and Strength and His protection to live. Don't ask God what to do . I think he need to Understand the Bible.
That's God telling you these guys proved their "reactions" were disconnected. I never heard of Dax before a week ago. This song is GOLD. 8 minutes in I was ready to rant about corperations not reflecting God's presence to those who hold faith. Chick Fil'a's idea of a living wage isn't how God would have it.
Sunkist Army, Oscar G, There is a lot to talk about in this music video. "lean not on your own understanding (bc we can't answer EVERYTHING all at once)" He does however say "knock and the door will be opened to you, seek and you will find". I absolutely know these guys can't answer everything (neither can both of you). I do know that you can find the answers. Check out Voddie Baucham, William Lane Craig, Frank Turrek, Stephen C Meyer, and RC Sproul in the search ^^. They'll help you out.
I'm sorry. I really am. This reaction did feel disconnected and I also felt that they were avoiding questions. I just think that they could've gone more in depth. Any questions out there please ask. I can try my hardest to help
Circumlocution: the use of many words where fewer would do, especially in a deliberate attempt to be vague or evasive. Basically going off an a tangent talking nonsense to avoid the question being asked
As a child I was raped repeatedly malnourished barely clothed and I prayed for help and love .My prayers were answered I found my foster home they transformed me through love then I prayed for a love of my life and I met my wife and had my family so GOD walks with you never give up and GOD bless you all
I’m so glad you were carried out of that horrendous environment into a loving home that showed you what love feels and looks like and then you were able to carry that with you and create a beautiful family. I went the wrong route after all of the sexual abuse I went through as a child. I stopped believing. It took hearing a message about free will, someone somewhat explaining how it’s not God allowing terrible things to happen and a lot of soul searching to bring my faith back. God Bless you and your family.
Dax is representing the suffering on the human experience. He is asking the classic questions that humankind has always asked throughout history. He is also saying that there is a difference between spirituality and religion. Very powerful.
Dax basically just cemented the fact that he believes and still believes in God & that he is gonna trust God without focusing on religion but spirituality. This song was like a prayer of him just heartfully opening up to God with his grievances with everything in life but still acknowledging & believing in God with ending the song with "Amen". This song is a great example of just coming to God as you are whole heartedly. If you're out there mad that God hasnt answered your prayers then I say just continue to have faith & patience with God. Delay is not denial and God will honor your faith in Him.
Well music is an art form. Dax always paints an honest picture from within himself lyrically to me which I say is amazing. A life following God or even worse, like myself, struggling and suffering through pain, feeling alone stays with you like a traumatized child. Some people give in to hating religion or people who believe because they basically got that belief taken or refused in their childhood. I was raised LDS and learned the truth finally in my 30s going to a non denominational church. I definitely identify with this song 100 percent. So it's a matter of how you view this song, but Dax did really good with Dear God. He wasn't trying to push religion or deny it. He was rapping from his heart. That's how you talk to God, like a Father.
i couldn’t have said it better. dax is just making a point to be honest. it just shows that you have to trust god enough that even if your mad at him you need to confront him about it. god wants you to come to him as you. he wouldn’t want you to hide questions that you have on your mind 24/7. even if he doesn’t answer. i know he’d want you to come exactly as you are and speak your mind no matter what others think
He’s already had these questions. If you are a pastor who is called to service you’ve dealt with these questions internally during your walk of faith. He’s just not going into detail because it would take too long to discuss it.
I don’t ever comment on videos. This will literally be my first. I just couldn’t sit back and not say anything. I just heard this song for the first time and I am the type of person that truly listens to lyrics. After listening to these lyrics, I was in tears. I grew up in church and have tried to live and be the best person that I could be. At a young age I heard and saw so many things from the “church family” that caused me to question a lot of things. A lot of bad things transpired at the church I went to and when I turned 18, I stopped going. I was angry and hurt by the things I had seen and heard and experienced. To be honest, I’m still angry today and I’m now 41. Everything Dax said and every question he asked is exactly what I have asked since I was about 14-18 years old and still want answers to. I asked so many people those questions throughout life and have always received generic answers. It’s always been frustrating and has continued to fuel the anger I have. I have talked to God soooooooo many times and not all of the talks were very good. I have been raw and completely open with God about things and have told him that “I want to have a 2-way conversation with you”. “I want to have a conversation with you just like I have with someone right in front of me. One where there’s actual communication.” I have said that so many times and continue to do so. I admit, it makes me angry that I can’t and haven’t been able to talk to God like I can with someone else. It does make me angry that we are his “children” but horrific things continue to happen, we don’t get any answers from him (almost like we are being ignored) and we feel hopeless at times. I think about my own children. How they would feel if I didn’t talk to them, protect them, provide for them, actually listen to them and provide them with a response. It would completely diminish their faith in me as their father and it would potentially make them hate me. Aren’t we God’s “children”? So how can he, as our “father”, ignore us? That’s how I’ve felt for a very long time. I couldn’t do that to my children so how can God do that to his children that he loves so much? I am a believer but I’m also a human and I question this. So everything Dax said in this song is something I have said and asked! Thank you @Thatsdax for being real and creating this song for everyone to hear! I truly felt it!
1st. Thanks for your post! And what a post!!(there's no turning back now!) And finally I would point out that religion is man made and Fouled by the follies of men! Look to your heart for how it feels, not to men who have no answers
I have always taken the closeness of a Father from each of the good things in my life, every day, little things even. I have had hardships but not thankfully total horror, and even there a kindness, a sustaining word, a song, beauty I took to be the love of God, keeping me going. When I look back at desperate times when I cried out to be changed, because where I was was unbearable, I see He did change me, I did grow; I took that to be the love of God. When I see my children who have grown to adults with their own suffering , wrestle with their own pain and faith and I see it increase their hunger and awareness of the Love of God. It also is the stuff of our bond. It seems the difficulty is linked with the reality of love. I am struggling to put this into meaningful words. Here are 2 of my daily prayers, taken from Metropolitan Anthony..The essence of prayer… Help me, O God, to discard all false pictures of thee, whatever the cost to my comfort. Help me, O God to put off all pretences and to find my true self. Dax is telling his hard reality and he is holding on. I believe he is also being held.
@rickyhuffman idk that you will ever read this response. I also have never commented on a video before but I wanted to respond after reading your comment. I too used to cry out to Father God and would get very frustrated that I was not hearing His voice. The truth of the matter is that I wasn’t seeking Him. I was angry and wanted proof- I was walking by sight and not faith. I had no relationship with Him. It was not that He wasn’t there, it was not that He wasn’t moving in my life. He was, I was just blind and could not see. You mentioned that you’ve talked to God so many times, which would lead me to believe that to some degree you believe that He’s real. My question to you would be do you have a relationship with Him? I used to know about God. I would even say I believed He was real. But I had no relationship with Him. I didn’t know that I could have a relationship with him! It wasn’t until I realized that I could, and started pursuing a relationship with Him, that I finally heard Him speak to me. It’s not until I now sit back and reflect on my life before Christ that I can see the many times that God saved me, the many times He provided for me, the many times He protected me. I didn’t see that when I was walking in anger and in the world (as part of the world). Even through the many times I told Him I hated Him, the many times I wished I was dead and threw in His face the life He’s blessed me with. Through it all, He was there with me. He never left my side. We are not all born children of God. “Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God-” John 1:12 NIV We get to make the choice. We are all someone who Christ died for, but we still get the choice to choose & follow Him or remain in the darkness this broken world has to offer. I encourage you to sit with the Lord and seek a relationship with Him. Continue to talk to Him and read your Bible. It’s ok to have all the hard questions and want answers, but seek first His kingdom and righteousness. “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” Matthew 6:33 NIV I will be praying for you, I truly hope that you find in Him what you’re looking for. He IS the answer to EVERYTHING. Much love to you, brother. ♥️
Kohalabay he legit said the Bible doesn’t advocate it and this happens sadly in real life because of a lack of the accountability that church goers are suppose to have which they don’t.
The first time i ever heard Dax's song " Dear God " I broke down and cried. It hit home because I am a believer as well. Grew up Catholic and have a very strong relationship with God. Dax pointed out everything that I too have questions about
I bawled. And was atheist at the time I heard it. I'm not atheist anymore. This song I guarantee if it effected me, it has many. I literally thought I didn't believe. I can't say I 100% do, but I'm willing to have faith finally.
Same here. Also, this Lenten season, this is another good song choice to hear, for me. It is like a young kid, asking everything he/she did not know out of curiousity. Let our Almighty Creator guide us all. Keep safe🙏
SaviTech there’re people on this earth who can explain these questions way better, but they’re out in the mission fields, they teach faith, not religion.
Ashley Hughes yeah it’s full of terrible man-made stories like solomon and jobe etc. now don’t get me wrong there are a lot of great lessons and i have learned a lot from the bible, but i’m not a christian. yahweh is a jealous and flawed god, just like the people who made him. christianity is cause for multiple historic accounts of war, death, misleading poor, confusing the people, impoverishing, stealing, corrupting government, and taking advantage of the people who believe. there are so many denominations of christianity and some of them are miles different from each other. they are all made up and changed and are skewed any which way to keep people under its grasp. the only reason it exist is because people didn’t know what happened when they died, they didn’t know why they were alive, and they didn’t have a reference tool for what was right and wrong. religion was created to fill that hole and give people hope and purpose. then it was used to gain power and steal. it is still used for that reason. i have nothing against christians, most of them are the kindest and sweetest people. it is purely the religion that i dislike.
He’s “confused” on how Dax is a believer after asking all these questions. Man really doesn’t understand Christianity. It’s healthy to ask god questions, it’s healthy to question the world around you, it’s called thinking instead of following blindly and praying that your questions get answered.
Thats why they didnt go into details on answering the questions dax was asking. Not to mentioned there face was to stuck, they was avoiding alot of it when it came about religion, believer, and having faith, other thing i had notice is in the end of the video dax mentions, im still a believer so im going to end this with an AMEN, and the pastor ended up saying oh i didnt catch that, and im surprised it ended it like that, i need to talk to him (with a big ass creepy smile on his face) another than is the pastor got supper mad where his face turned red and you can tell during this video he wasn't in for it for the message he was only in it for the money........... Pt2 will come base on a reply back
The Spirit of God is not the Spirit of doubt or confusion, which are the Spirits possessing DAX. He says he believes but he doesnt really, he is double minded.
To question God means to doubt Him, and that's akin to NOT having faith, which the Bible says makes it IMPOSSIBLE to please God. All you need to know about God is in his word, the Bible. You don't become a medical doctor by going to an empty classroom and yelling, 'WHAT ARE OUR BODIES MADE OF?', instead of enrolling for degree in medicine, understanding lectures given by actual lecturers, reading medical books and passing exams. Please it is common sense. It's amusing how people deny His existence and power just because we can't see Him, then carry on being controlled by things we can't see - emotions, thoughts, even the oxygen we breathe - like seeing is actually a criteria for believing. No verse in the Bible says seeing is believing, those are man's words NOT God's. Your curiosity should lead you to studying the Bible and fellowshipping with his followers NOT slandering His name because of the little things you think you deserve and haven't gotten. Case in point, you can't connect with a spiritual being (God is a spirit) without first understanding how to attune yourself spiritually.
I’m a man of faith and I get where Dax is coming from. Growing up in a rough neighborhood, you go through some dark times. Hungry, scared, sad, barley making it, struggling. And when you try and do good, the devil pulls you back. At one point as a believer you question God, you get mad when you’re doing your best ( reading the word, praying, giving yourself and submitting to God) yet the hard times get worse. Life beats you down hence the reason why Dax is beat up in this video. For a small period, I have up on God. I stopped believing. I was angry with him. I cried and begged for him to come in my life and all I got was silence. Then the question comes up; “How is it that I’m living right and not getting anything but pain and suffering but my friend is drinking, doing drugs, sinning but has a great job, career and home?” It messes with your mind but there’s that little bit of faith that keeps you connected with Jesus. Cause you know deep in your heart he’s real. The devil will tempt and make things look beautiful on the outside. For me, Jesus needed me one in one. Broke me down, humbled me and rebuilt me. I hate that I had to go through all the pain and suffering but It made me stronger. Jesus carries me and was there the whole time. The devil made me think I was alone. This is what Dax hasn’t figured out yet. Jesus may not be there when you want but he’s always on time. Keep the faith. The lord gives his toughest battles to his strongest warriors 💪
I feel like when you don't appreciate the little things in life you don't know when God is present or not.every source of happiness and positivity tells me that God is present. But I understand that darkness is so thick that you can't see or notice the light that surrounds you. So that's when you must ask God to help you see it. I don't know if that helps or makes sense but I felt like it had to be said🙂
I believe when we are on our path to greatness in gods eyes the devil attacks harder and if you keep pushing through god will push him Back he will keep trying to snatch you back but you just keep resisting the 👿 and good will come. My husband and i have been through it and finally making it through all our to the good power of our lord.
I know I am late to the conversation; however, I cannot help but comment because the response to this song by the pastor and his son completely broke my heart. With the success you have had with this platform, you fell very short of the mark with this "reaction." I am a mental health counselor who worked with incarcerated male juveniles in a treatment center. Today, my husband and I still hold Bible study on Sundays with those same young men. I am also now in private practice, and my targeted clients are parents who have been under CPS investigation. Obviously most of the kids we work with don't come from tight knit families, many of them have been molested, many are gang members, most of them are searching for answers...and they ask us all the time why God doesn't listen. So many people in our society have the very questions asked in this video. On one hand, I as a Christian do cringe at the language and at what I first perceived as disrespect; however, the biggest stab to the heart came at the pastor's last comment that he wonders what the artist is saying. That statement was naivety in all its tragedy. So many people today feel the hopelessness and anger portrayed by Dax, who was raw enough, brave enough, talented enough to put it down in words meant to challenge the church body as a whole. Plainly stated, while it does reflect his own questions, it was a scathing observation of how ineffective the church is in today's societal climate. The questions he asked rightfully deserve careful, thoughtful, honest answers, and we as Christians are not providing them. We (the church) are failing to meet the needs of the people God has placed around us. We are not listening or understanding or offering hope or providing answers; rather, we are too busy furthering our own personal goals and justifying why we don't have time to do the work we are supposed to do. I pray God places someone in the path of Dax that will sincerely look beyond the cussing...beyond the doubt...beyond the words of rejection at times spoken by the artist. I pray that the person God's sends sees the true desire Dax has for answers and for unbreakable, unquestioning faith....someone who is not afraid of the very challenge that God Himself is offering to the church in a roundabout way through this song...someone who will show him why he can safely believe in the existence of a God who views His people as a people "greatly loved" (Daniel 10:19). But that will require someone truly willing to get down into the trenches, and therein lies the problem.
1000LIKES!!!! Spot on !! That's why many youth don't attend church The Church isn't being the church!!! God rise up your people to usher in the lost & alone, especially our youth!!! They're the future to bring the light to this world and I'm so sorry the church hasn't been the church they needed, but we're praying it in JESUS NAME!!!! GOD BLESS YOU Kim!!!
My faith has dissipated for the same reason. I was abused, used, and hurt by so many people. Why can't I get better? Why did he let those people hurt me if hes such a caring god? I didn't deserve anything and for him to supposedly test me by giving me this sh*t is twisted and inhumane. I'm not sure I want to believe in that even if I'm risking eternity by not.... sorry for the rant
@@virensingh7598 honestly, i think I'd like that too. Just to be guaranteed safety and unconditional support and love without the hoops to jump through.
God bless DAX and my Heavenly Father for helping me currently “cope” with the grief of losing my 23yo little brother to suicide only a month ago, just two days after Xmas and one day after his 23rd birthday 😢💔❤️🙏🏻 My older brother died when I was four and he was five in a car accident and my little brother looked exactly like him he was so proud to look like him too now they’re both in the same cemetery, I get scared I’ll lose the battle sometimes and end up there too but DAX’ music truly helps me and guides me back to the light ❤ Also DAX thankyou for all of your songs they help me get closer to god without even meaning to. I always had a good relationship with god in my childhood even though my parents were not church going and they were divorced however my father always had different child prayer books as an option for me as he wanted me to feel the true connection with god without being coerced by outside influences also I found out later he prayed too but he didn’t want me to feel like I had too. I thank him for that so much and now me and my father pray together and share that love of god with each other it’s special in my life. My paternal grandfather was training to become a catholic priest when he fell in love with my late grandmother Nancy, however Nancy raised hers boys non denominational and my maternal grandmother is catholic
As much as I can appreciate the “reaction” to the video, you can clearly see that he’s not trying to offend anyone in his “answers”. They are watered down and although there is faith in it, he’s beating around the bush on how he really feels. The song is incredible, and scripture doesn’t change. The artist, Dax, is literally speaking the thoughts of millions of people. If you’re a believer and follower of Christ, then it’s gonna be raw on how you feel. No lukewarm feelings.
And he’s not talking about the Gospel, he’s talking about religion. When people follow a religion over Christ, then of course there will be corruption in the world.
Dax's song helped lead me on a path to find true freedom from self. I'm 40 years old with a whole new understanding of God's love. This (song) is a blessing from God. I understand it as a prayer.
Let’s be real... I’m not a follower like that, it’s not really sum I can wrap my head around, but if there was a “god” per say... why tf would he put us here... why make us live in these lives that are virtually meaningless to him, why make us waste precious time doing stupid things🤷♂️
I can relate to this song a ton. To me it's very clear that Dax is a believer and has faith. He has the same questions that we all have, or have at least thought of, but feel uncomfortable, or feel that God would spite us for questioning. I've been listening to this song a ton the last few days and feel it was well written and appreciate the vulnerability that Dax shared with us. Thank you!
This pastor couldn't help dax even if he tried. He only speak the Bible. He clearly don't know how to teach it. Dax questions are questions that we all ask.... dear God....
Religion was made to invade indigenous land.. Wich is black owned. Here's his blind ass not knowing that Christianity was used to control us after being prisoners of war it reinforces laws on stolen land exactly how Serapis Christ reinforced Roman law!! This is something no preacher could actually respond to. He'd have to have a conversation to see what dax is taking about
@@sylla-busphal-meh9238 This comment is historically incorrect.. It's true that religion in general has been used time and time again to grip the minds of different people and sway their beliefs, but that is not the original reason the religion was created.
I think that is amazing! And this song should be easy to understand, everyone that believes has questioned and doubted and if you haven’t I don’t think you really believe, you just say your a believer/Christian/catholic etc. Faith is the hardest thing to have because there will never be proof. People with faith are some of the strongest people, because again to have true blind faith is hard.
I have listened to this song many times and in my own opinion I feel as if it's one of the realest prayers I've ever heard that's why he ends with amen. It's like it rains on the just and the unjust how can someone be a child molester and still be a millionaire while that child is trying to figure out what they did wrong and maybe doesn't have food to eat or their parents sold them for drugs. Sometimes life doesn't make sense and sometimes I think if I was God I'd get tired of "Help me pass this test so I can get a good job" or "thank you for all the things you've done for me". This prayer by DAX is asking how can all this happen? Sure we can sit and watch the news how someone raped and murdered some lady but imagine it being your daughter, you can't say you wouldn't be mad or even lose faith. Everything happens for a reason but what's the reason? Maybe you got a DUI and everything is hard now but someone's grandfather is laying in a nursing home bed soiled and starving to death because the staff doesn't care Why? You run up to the grocery store to get Thanksgiving dinner and someone steals your kids. what was supposed to be a nice dinner turned into hell on earth. You go to the movies with your wife and kids but on the way there an accident happens you get out but you hear the screaming from your wife and kids as they burn alive trapped inside. I could go on forever but this song is the realest prayer I've ever heard. At least that's how I interpreted it.
you cant comment on something you have never experienced and its not his fault he had a blessed life be thankful he would more then likely give you the shirt off his back
exactly fears his position and congregations dought,his income/power but makes himself look ignorant,arrogant and judgmental as well as to immature in his knowledge of gospel and mankinds insecurities as he states he feel towards dax's knowledge being immature. projecting.deflecting and ands comanding belief???/ narcissistic traits
@Dax Remember..... Never Stop! You touch peoples hearts and you are the voice of the broken, but with you opening the eyes of those who are blind and introduce them to our pain and struggles..... We Will Never Be Forgotten!!!! Thank you @Dax for making such beautiful music.
The pastor 🙄 don't want to be straight forward with the reality of dax songs, I think Dax is being a lot more open with real question then the pastor not being real enough to respond clearly.
fr i swear some people think dax made the song to just straight up question everything and they think it’s a bad thing. but this is all based on his experiences and his perspectives it takes a lot of guts to talk to god and tell him everything your thinking regarding to him and questioning everything he does but it’s another level to post it on social media and let everyone in the world be able to hear what you have to say. i think that alone makes dax such a strong and amazing person and it just shows that even when u get a little higher up in the world and start to get fame you still have real world problems and you still have questions
If and when you open your chakras jesus/god will become nothing to you! Stop believing in something you cant ever see start learning about your Ancestors the real reason you are here!
mystablak I think by him putting Christian in “” (I can’t speak for him but ..) he means not actually Christian ,as jesus was a Jew, but in the eyes of the church what Christians should set out to be
Well jesus wasn't a Christian he was the Christ lol Christian literally translates to little christ which was actually coined after its initial use was considered derogatory lol
I fell as if this rap artist took my exact words from my heart I end with that exact statement every time I question everything but I am also still a believer... So Amen
This songs represents believers who have believed for a long time like myself. Who can have faith enough to see miracles when my children almost die. But on the other hand have struggled in poverty my whole life no matter how hard i've worked. Who have seen my whole family saved but struggle to get them to get past life constantly kicking them down and keeping them from believing faith works. My husband and i were youth ministers who have seen a lot of kids, teens and young adults saved and move on into life as Christians but at the same time couldn't pay our utilities. We own our home free and clear and was to be our last home but our city put a homeless shelter next door. The people who run it don't care about the homeless it was so our town could get a grant. So the "homeless" are now destroying our property. The director and employees are never there. These are the kind of things that make people get angry not with God so much as with, "He said let he who lacks wisdom ask". Then there are the Christians we all know who always think if you as a Christian are not seeing prosperity, healing and other problems resolved then your faith us weak. Sometimes it's because unlike some Christians we know we don't always think everyone is getting it wrong. Life is hard, harder for some. We don't cut people out of our lives because they struggle alot, mess up sometimes, etc. My husband just worked 8 weeks for a "Christian legalist" that only paid for 3 weeks of work. Not the first time he's done it. I understand about generational curses, results if sin, etc. But I also know sometimes the devil just knows you are going to be tough to get away from God.
Pain Is real ,we forget we are carrying a cross,love Is a healer ,dont Let Hate kill the love ,Iam a homeless going for almost 40years living on the streets,Been in prisión ,set free from drugs AND alcohol ,still broke AND fair away from a ved that i can call mine ,not family AND still waiting for Simeone to shows me love ,special Christian 😢never happen 😢the last Christian family that feed me some was poisoned i hace forgive them !!!still homeless , STILL hurt,GOD just help to die keeping my faith that you are real AND all this pain AND Hate Is Gonna fade away one day ,maybe not today but some day GOD JUST HELP TO CARRIE THE CROSS❤😢DONT COMPLAIN GUYS HERE IN HONDURAS THINGS ARE HARD ,JUSTVKEEP YOUR FAITH ,GOD WILL SWEEP AWAY OUR TEARS ONE DAY❤STAY STRONG JUST REMEMBER ONE DAY!!!STILL HOMELESS AFTER 40 YEARS ,NEVER HAVE NOTHING MORE SPECIAL THAN CARRYING THE CROSS!!!ONE DAY BROTHERS AND SISTERS JUST ONE DAY !!!
faith is not blindness. it is sight. once you gget that faith and start reading scriptures daily youll get what i mean. the bible says Christ sends us the holy spirit, even the SPIRIT OF TRUTH to lead us into all truths. Trust my questions been answered
Asking Why as well. But we are the answers we search for, it gets deep. I understand wholeheartedly where he's coming from. To a point where I overstand, innerstand, interstand any plan of said man. I've seen it once then seen it again. N again. N again. It gets bland. 🙆🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️. 💪🏾🧔🏾✌🏾
Trevor TREY same comment, same bullshit and same dumbfound mindset. Not to be rude but the pastor literally answered every question perfectly, and the only people confused are the ones who dont follow Gods words and teachings, nor want to understand what the pastor is saying. lmao
@@ablizzy you said dumbfound mindset and then continue to say not to be rude in same sentence lol. Anyway if you're a believer and have listened to the song with intent to understand and still say you had never got to a point where you ask yourself the same questions, you're super being
James Huepper lmao idk, ask yourself when God presents himself when you die, you're gonna wish you just followed his word. Blasphemy is the unforgiving sin and I know hes real so are perceptions differ and I dont know what to tell you🤷🏻♂️ I know Gods real, in fact I once didnt believe he was and my life always had the sh*tty end of the stick. Raised in the hood, lost a parent, mom smokes k2, grew up with learning disabilities and dysfunctional emotional behavior, and I could of died on so many different occasions but no, God gave me so many chances at life and I have nothing but thanks to give him and my most upright faith. Try following his word and you'll see he is blind to help guide your eyes to his ways of faith and holiness and your eyes will be opened💯 amen
Here for it and what Dax says is very deep, mo offense to mainstream Christians, at all, but it’s such deep questions that most are probably even scared to have thoughts that are such, I know I used to be
Kal el earth 54 Blabla You seem to not know how it is to be religious bc if you’re raised to not question anything and just to trust your religion then it’s extremely deep bc of how much you’re taught to not question
Ibrahim Saleh Oh yeah, I grew up very religious and there’s things that lots of religious people even say they’re scared to think bc of fear of blaspheming and going to hell and such
I love seeing thought provoking songs like this actually taken and tried to be understood. And I've listened to the song for a few years but never saw the video, and I've found my own concept of God that differs from religion but having been raised as a pastor's grandchild but also (on the opposite side of the family) an atheist's son, so I always felt this conflict (God is not all powerful, or he is not all good; not that it really matters either way in the end whether I die and it's back to the Cauldron for rebirth or it's Heaven or it's Hades (Greek Hades being the realm of the dead in general) or it's the void with eternal sleep). Seeing the video now for the first time, all I can think of is Jesus' crisis of "Why have you forsaken me?"
@@handshoesandhorsegrenades1848 the issue isn't that they're beating around the bush. It's more that they are trying to console people who have those issues. I would say it's not bad or wrong that they did that. They want to help people, they just can't.
David cried out to God when in distress but didn’t doubt God will deliver him. Dax is showing tons of doubt in God and even speaking blasphemous towards him saying God fears him. I wouldn’t say they relate much but I will say his recent songs he seems to have matured as a believer. I believe which is apparent in this song and with most believers. He struggles with sin and sin is hindering his relationship with God. “He that walketh in his uprightness feareth the LORD: But he that is perverse in his ways despiseth him.” Proverbs 14:2 “Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.” John 9:31 Why would God acknowledge such a song that shows no fear or respect towards his. The words he uses shows he despises God I believe if he spends time in his word God reveals all to us
@@zhenyucai8688 Why do you decide not to be Christian if you believe it is one of the best? What keeps you from asking Jesus to be your savior? He loves you. He wants you to know him.
The pastor here was said he found the last line interesting, as Dax said he was still a believer..... ummmm, that was also his first line of this song...
We just have to accept that being a believer won't make life easy 4 us coz what's life without challenges and temptation,it is in those trials that God reveals Himself to us.
@@angeliquenorman1169 God loves everyone so there is a reason for having struggles and pain, It's just us people who thinks that God is punishing us.... It's not punishment it's a trial....
I want to touch on the fact that he ended with “amen”. It shows that he does have a strong relationship with god. You should have a relationship that your able to talk freely and it doesn’t make you a bad Christian to have “doubts”. Everyone questions everything
@@supernovaedits14 I have felt what he felt and said what he said and regretted it at the end so whatever happens before shouting at God, It's better to pray to know the truth to have a bit more faith to be happy with God...
I believe he's being the rawest form of raw in terms of the questions that believers sometimes struggle with and cry out to God about asking "why God? Why??" And we all struggle with things like that sometimes
Pastor handled the part about "Im not looking for church, im looking for family" really well. I have left many churches bc many push attendance and if you dont meet certain characteristic youre not always welcome into the family.
@Mervyn Ronald But it isn't a situation where he's trying to outsmart someone. We out here with real questions and looking for answers. Know what I mean?
He asks real questions that real searching truth Christians ask themselves through their walk. And God does understand. We don't need them to explain something to us. God is not dogma
When I was in the midst of meth addiction this song helped me find the truth and thank God I received the holy spirit. God used this song for the good in me
I'd be really interested to see your take on two songs. Joyner lucas - Devils work Bizzle - Devils work response You'd need to do them in that order....but definitely in this sorta field....
This channel is super important. Kudos to both of you for being so open and mature in these conversations. You challenge each other in a helpful way, the world needs to have more people communicating in this patient, respectful way.
7:12 - 9:09 The younger guy keeps having to remind the older guy what the question is and he keeps trying to rephrase the question because it's like the older guy either doesn't understand the question or keeps forgetting what the question is. Eventually, the younger guy just gives up. He's never going to get a straight answer to the actual question. And the older guy is never going to realize (or admit?) that he's talking around the question instead of answering it.
You can see the young man is giving him every opportunity to be engaged in the analysis of the video, it's like he is pulling his teeth to get him to "react". Why bother with the video.
This song sums up how I felt when I first got sober. My Demons we battling with for my soul. I had so many unanswered questions. Then the Power and Grace of God showed up. He worked through another person and who led me to AA. God stepped in and fought my demons for me. They went away. Now my life is better, at least in the respect of my strong faith. I asked for Him to set my feet on the path He wanted for me and I would, without question, follow Him. God is Great ALL the time. ❤🙏❤
I totally agree with the other comments. I think you(pastor) see this a little differently because you have such a strong faith and relationship with god. I feel like Dax was shedding light on the thoughts and feelings a lot of us are having lately. I think we are afraid to say these things for fear of being judged. Which sort of gives more and more power to the feelings and thoughts which makes them harder and harder to deal with. But for those of us just starting or restarting our spiritual journey, hearing these things out loud is very powerful and a huge relief. Feeling that weight lifting and realizing you are not alone gives us a nudge and helps us realize that the questions and issues we have are not problems to solve.. they are insecurities to overcome.. these insecurities can hold onto you and really keep you from moving forward and it really starts to cause pain and anger.... I think that is why so many of us credit dax for helping us find our way to god and believe god works through him on some level. His words take the power away and help us let go and begin to move forward again....
He’s asking questions most of us are scared to ask scared to speak or when’s the pain gonna stop when are we gonna get a break when we will feel what we’ve always prayed for why did he create us to be how we are how are we supposed to fix us when he made us why can’t he help us why do we mix up what he believed in and out it our own words how are we supposed to trust another soul another child of god if we are all equal why should we believe what another one of us say
Littlejt nigga if your really smart you’ve asked all those questions in your head while keeping your faith and realizing what your asking that the whole point of you asking that while saying your a “ believer” is just for clout . Where’s the faith it’s like when we about to strike gold the final hour and now everyone wanna start asking like they doing everything right .
AK SLICK I’m not saying we don’t but we don’t have a big enough voice to speak out to more than ourselves and let the questions reminisce over the ones who don’t ask those questions the ones living a perfect life that didn’t have to struggle or know what hurting is till the hit rock bittom
Jesus said: He who has an ear, let him hear. To hear is not just to listen literally but to obey. Problem is, not everybody is not humble enough to hear or listen to His words. “‘“You will indeed hear but never understand, and you will indeed see but never perceive.”
You don't get the point, now if you say this someone can ask , was jesus real , none of us was there when all this happened, we just read it in a book and we grew up listening to these teachings
Dax's words are a wake up call to us all believers...I am certain the questions he asks show us that he is at some level of awareness....In the journey to establish where we come from, who we are and our place in the universe, we need to ask such questions such that we raise our awareness- which is why we are here..
Dax is going through what most people go through, we have a lot of questions that need to be addressed... We tell our stories differently, then he chose music whilst some of us go silent... DAX advocates for a million souls out there... I need answers too😭😭😭 and it hurts each night going to bed in tears , waking up in puffy eyes... We need answers not reactions...
some people don’t realize how much a lot of us relate to music and artists like dax. the fact that he can go out and do this brings hope to people like us that don’t know how to talk about what we are feeling
This is the first time I have ever seen your reaction show. I honestly only watched it because I saw the name DAX and that stopped me in my tracks. I couldn't hit the play button quick enough. A friend told me about how good his music was but I said I didn't listen to much of anything but rock music and I didn't even bother trying for a few months. I was riding with him one day and he played a song named Depression by DAX. It hit me like a ton of bricks! I could relate to everything he was saying. I couldn't wait to hear all his songs. I was playing them back to back. I mean I was totally blown away! I could feel his hurt, confusion, anger and disappointment in his words and music. His songs are sermons. I could tell he was a believer almost right away. After listening to his music I don't want to hear any other artist but DAX. He has inspired me in so many ways to do better with the things I struggle with in life. He tells it all in it's true manner like I have never heard before. I love this guy and I pray for him. I could tell every word he was singing was from deep in his soul. I take his songs to heart seriously because they are. He is definitely mineristng to us that listen to his work. He is the only artist that I understand every word he sings. I mean every word! I apologize for this being so long but it's something I need to say cause I never join these kind of forms because of people's crud remarks to others. I haven't seen that on here but this is the first time I've been on here. Well I've said all that to say this and not meaning what I'm about to say to be disrespectful or mean but the man in the sweat shirt ( sorry man I didn't catch your name at the beginning) didn't have an understanding much at all with the video and never answered a question but with a question never giving me much reaction but confusion. The other pastor was pretty good with most of his reactions with clearer answers. Even though he didn't relate correctly with everything DAX was singing in the video. I understand this is the first time you guys have heard DAX but I thought y'all didn't do well at all. Cause I understood him from the first word till last the very first time I heard his songs. Not only understood but felt it for real! I don't plan on ever hearing your show again for any reason. Again not being ugly or disrespectful to you guys. I don't think you should give your first reaction or impressions of someone you no nothing about. Because first impressions are usually wrong or judgemental because you have never walked in the shoes of that person to know what they have been through or going through. You could be misleading to your audience ( well ones that can't think for themselves ) bad then they go out and start bashing someone they no nothing about cause they took your impression and not there's. I just don't want someone being misled because of y'all's reaction. I understand y'all might mean this for good but you could accidentally mislead people and not realize it. I urge you both to listen to all DAX music several times if need be and get a full understanding of this man's talent and his true story. He is getting attacked spiritually from all sides. He wants answers and we all want answers. But we know we will not get most of those answers till JESUS calls us home. But GOD is an awesome GOD and HIS ways are always right even if we don't understand them yet. I encourage y'all to pray for DAX with his struggles and pain. He needs it and we all need it. Prayer is all we got and prayer is our most powerful tool. I don't know you two pastors but I think y'all thought this would be a good thing to do and it might be. Just please be careful and don't accidentally steer someone wrong. I'm not saying don't speak the truth( please do) just make sure it's the truth! May GOD bless you all, MARK.

I think he is expressing what alot of people won't say out loud. Alot of his songs are powerful because it comes from deep within him. Alot of people can relate.
Yes, this!
Yes, YES, thank you
On point. If Dax song is his prayer 🙏🏻, that is the way we have all felt at times. His deep passion and his unbridled cry out to God is trembling my soul the strength it took to just lay it allllll out there real with the pain with the anger with the passion we should have when praying to our Daddy in Heaven.
Yesssss exactly!
He looked lost
This was a prayer from Dax to God. I think if you look at it that way, it's incredibly powerful and makes a lot of sense.
I just came on here to say the same thing. Then i scrolled down to see who else caught that.
Dax said on Genius that this was a “poem” he wrote a long long time ago. many years ago and it’s the same with a lot of his music with messages and he jjsy made music out of it

@@kaleb8438 it's not really trash but some of the song is good the other part I hated was cursing and when he was wondering if he even hears him and asking god question

Yes
The entire song feels like it was a prayer this is why amen was at the end
No its dax
Exactly is dax trying to contact god
Yhh

Glad you notice that
Dax is the most underrated artist ever! One of the most powerful realist artist I have ever listened to ! ❤️
I just found him on Instagram today!
That's because of the message he conveys. If u are speaking on God, u won't be mainstream. U know they don't want that.
U fking right..
WE SHOULD HELP DAX BECOME MORE KNOWN
I agree !!!
This felt like a prayer torn from my own heart, full of anxiety and frustration about the injustices all around us and pleading with God for answers that only God can provide.
Yes it is the best song
Thank you!!!
I don't think the lyrics are of a person lacking in faith, but rather of a person acting in faith despite a huge wall of doubt. I really appreciate this song and my heart goes out to all those who struggle in their faith more than I do.
@Googleaint Shit Explain it better then.
Explain how everything about this song isn't screaming out "I *want* to believe, I *have* believed, but you're making it very hard and I could really use some help right now."
@Googleaint Shit The way I see it, the song is just another version of the book of Job. The thing is Job wasn't complaining (at least in God's ear). He was praying and God gets that.
Dax cussed in his prayer
Job cursed the day he was born in his prayer
Yet God still focused on their hearts. And what's in it? A cry for help
God bless
@Googleaint Shit more stuff for me to think about
He imitated Job's faith. Here's one of Job's lamentation.
Job 13:24 " Why do You hide Your face and consider me Your enemy?
First line, "I just want to make this clear
I am a believer."

Great Voice but Lyrics is nonsense. It's something like Dentist is teaching an Ophthalmologist how to operate an eye. God has already planned on how He will operate this world, period. All we have to do is how to deal with it and that's why God sent his only Begotten Son to show how to live . We have to ask God the Wisdom and Strength and His protection to live. Don't ask God what to do . I think he need to Understand the Bible.
I hope you misspell Jesus for the hell of it

That's God telling you these guys proved their "reactions" were disconnected. I never heard of Dax before a week ago. This song is GOLD. 8 minutes in I was ready to rant about corperations not reflecting God's presence to those who hold faith. Chick Fil'a's idea of a living wage isn't how God would have it.
Sunkist Army, Oscar G, There is a lot to talk about in this music video. "lean not on your own understanding (bc we can't answer EVERYTHING all at once)" He does however say "knock and the door will be opened to you, seek and you will find". I absolutely know these guys can't answer everything (neither can both of you). I do know that you can find the answers. Check out Voddie Baucham, William Lane Craig, Frank Turrek, Stephen C Meyer, and RC Sproul in the search ^^. They'll help you out.
Yes kindove becouse they said the gospill did not affiliate with it but ease the the argument that they knew but they did not do anything about it
I'm sorry. I really am. This reaction did feel disconnected and I also felt that they were avoiding questions. I just think that they could've gone more in depth. Any questions out there please ask. I can try my hardest to help
He’s a believer but he has questions like we all do?? This was a prayer to God asking for answers because we all have questions. It’s human nature.
Well said!

Circumlocution
I dknt get it
Circumlocution: the use of many words where fewer would do, especially in a deliberate attempt to be vague or evasive. Basically going off an a tangent talking nonsense to avoid the question being asked
As a child I was raped repeatedly malnourished barely clothed and I prayed for help and love .My prayers were answered I found my foster home they transformed me through love then I prayed for a love of my life and I met my wife and had my family so GOD walks with you never give up and GOD bless you all
I’m so glad you were carried out of that horrendous environment into a loving home that showed you what love feels and looks like and then you were able to carry that with you and create a beautiful family.
I went the wrong route after all of the sexual abuse I went through as a child. I stopped believing. It took hearing a message about free will, someone somewhat explaining how it’s not God allowing terrible things to happen and a lot of soul searching to bring my faith back.
God Bless you and your family.

Dax is representing the suffering on the human experience. He is asking the classic questions that humankind has always asked throughout history. He is also saying that there is a difference between spirituality and religion. Very powerful.
Dax basically just cemented the fact that he believes and still believes in God & that he is gonna trust God without focusing on religion but spirituality. This song was like a prayer of him just heartfully opening up to God with his grievances with everything in life but still acknowledging & believing in God with ending the song with "Amen". This song is a great example of just coming to God as you are whole heartedly. If you're out there mad that God hasnt answered your prayers then I say just continue to have faith & patience with God. Delay is not denial and God will honor your faith in Him.
Well music is an art form. Dax always paints an honest picture from within himself lyrically to me which I say is amazing. A life following God or even worse, like myself, struggling and suffering through pain, feeling alone stays with you like a traumatized child. Some people give in to hating religion or people who believe because they basically got that belief taken or refused in their childhood. I was raised LDS and learned the truth finally in my 30s going to a non denominational church. I definitely identify with this song 100 percent. So it's a matter of how you view this song, but Dax did really good with Dear God. He wasn't trying to push religion or deny it. He was rapping from his heart. That's how you talk to God, like a Father.
i couldn’t have said it better. dax is just making a point to be honest. it just shows that you have to trust god enough that even if your mad at him you need to confront him about it. god wants you to come to him as you. he wouldn’t want you to hide questions that you have on your mind 24/7. even if he doesn’t answer. i know he’d want you to come exactly as you are and speak your mind no matter what others think

He’s already had these questions. If you are a pastor who is called to service you’ve dealt with these questions internally during your walk of faith. He’s just not going into detail because it would take too long to discuss it.
Hahaha I died omg he's avoiding so much like it's kinda awkward because the other guy tries to make him notice big he's acting totally oblivious
Innit
I don’t ever comment on videos. This will literally be my first. I just couldn’t sit back and not say anything.
I just heard this song for the first time and I am the type of person that truly listens to lyrics. After listening to these lyrics, I was in tears. I grew up in church and have tried to live and be the best person that I could be. At a young age I heard and saw so many things from the “church family” that caused me to question a lot of things. A lot of bad things transpired at the church I went to and when I turned 18, I stopped going. I was angry and hurt by the things I had seen and heard and experienced. To be honest, I’m still angry today and I’m now 41. Everything Dax said and every question he asked is exactly what I have asked since I was about 14-18 years old and still want answers to. I asked so many people those questions throughout life and have always received generic answers. It’s always been frustrating and has continued to fuel the anger I have. I have talked to God soooooooo many times and not all of the talks were very good. I have been raw and completely open with God about things and have told him that “I want to have a 2-way conversation with you”. “I want to have a conversation with you just like I have with someone right in front of me. One where there’s actual communication.” I have said that so many times and continue to do so. I admit, it makes me angry that I can’t and haven’t been able to talk to God like I can with someone else. It does make me angry that we are his “children” but horrific things continue to happen, we don’t get any answers from him (almost like we are being ignored) and we feel hopeless at times. I think about my own children. How they would feel if I didn’t talk to them, protect them, provide for them, actually listen to them and provide them with a response. It would completely diminish their faith in me as their father and it would potentially make them hate me. Aren’t we God’s “children”? So how can he, as our “father”, ignore us? That’s how I’ve felt for a very long time. I couldn’t do that to my children so how can God do that to his children that he loves so much? I am a believer but I’m also a human and I question this. So everything Dax said in this song is something I have said and asked! Thank you @Thatsdax for being real and creating this song for everyone to hear! I truly felt it!
1st. Thanks for your post! And what a post!!(there's no turning back now!)
And finally I would point out that religion is man made and Fouled by the follies of men! Look to your heart for how it feels, not to men who have no answers
Jesus tells us this domain belongs to Satan. Christ gives you the courage to, expose, &, expel him.
Jesus teaches us that the children are sacred. Matthew 18:6.
I have always taken the closeness of a Father from each of the good things in my life, every day, little things even. I have had hardships but not thankfully total horror, and even there a kindness, a sustaining word, a song, beauty I took to be the love of God, keeping me going. When I look back at desperate times when I cried out to be changed, because where I was was unbearable, I see He did change me, I did grow; I took that to be the love of God. When I see my children who have grown to adults with their own suffering , wrestle with their own pain and faith and I see it increase their hunger and awareness of the Love of God. It also is the stuff of our bond. It seems the difficulty is linked with the reality of love. I am struggling to put this into meaningful words.
Here are 2 of my daily prayers, taken from Metropolitan Anthony..The essence of prayer…
Help me, O God, to discard all false pictures of thee, whatever the cost to my comfort.
Help me, O God to put off all pretences and to find my true self.
Dax is telling his hard reality and he is holding on. I believe he is also being held.
@rickyhuffman idk that you will ever read this response. I also have never commented on a video before but I wanted to respond after reading your comment. I too used to cry out to Father God and would get very frustrated that I was not hearing His voice. The truth of the matter is that I wasn’t seeking Him. I was angry and wanted proof- I was walking by sight and not faith. I had no relationship with Him. It was not that He wasn’t there, it was not that He wasn’t moving in my life. He was, I was just blind and could not see.
You mentioned that you’ve talked to God so many times, which would lead me to believe that to some degree you believe that He’s real. My question to you would be do you have a relationship with Him? I used to know about God. I would even say I believed He was real. But I had no relationship with Him. I didn’t know that I could have a relationship with him! It wasn’t until I realized that I could, and started pursuing a relationship with Him, that I finally heard Him speak to me.
It’s not until I now sit back and reflect on my life before Christ that I can see the many times that God saved me, the many times He provided for me, the many times He protected me. I didn’t see that when I was walking in anger and in the world (as part of the world). Even through the many times I told Him I hated Him, the many times I wished I was dead and threw in His face the life He’s blessed me with. Through it all, He was there with me. He never left my side.
We are not all born children of God.
“Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God-”
John 1:12 NIV
We get to make the choice. We are all someone who Christ died for, but we still get the choice to choose & follow Him or remain in the darkness this broken world has to offer. I encourage you to sit with the Lord and seek a relationship with Him. Continue to talk to Him and read your Bible. It’s ok to have all the hard questions and want answers, but seek first His kingdom and righteousness.
“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”
Matthew 6:33 NIV
I will be praying for you, I truly hope that you find in Him what you’re looking for. He IS the answer to EVERYTHING. Much love to you, brother. ♥️
Pastor literally skipped every important question it’s low key 🔑 annoying
Anyone agree
Like which one? Point it out and let's have a look at it
Where Dax says the kids he would fuc*ing malest
Want to carry on
@@user-ev1ub8gu5g He talked about that
Kohalabay he legit said the Bible doesn’t advocate it and this happens sadly in real life because of a lack of the accountability that church goers are suppose to have which they don’t.
The first time i ever heard Dax's song " Dear God " I broke down and cried. It hit home because I am a believer as well. Grew up Catholic and have a very strong relationship with God. Dax pointed out everything that I too have questions about
I cried in another song too.
I bawled. And was atheist at the time I heard it. I'm not atheist anymore. This song I guarantee if it effected me, it has many. I literally thought I didn't believe. I can't say I 100% do, but I'm willing to have faith finally.
I think we all seek the same questions we are only human at the end of the day ❤️
Facing the same shiet, I have watched this song over and over in the last 24 hours
Same here. Also, this Lenten season, this is another good song choice to hear, for me. It is like a young kid, asking everything he/she did not know out of curiousity. Let our Almighty Creator guide us all. Keep safe🙏
dude said : "he should just believe more" Im never gonna believe if this is the best people can do.
SaviTech there’re people on this earth who can explain these questions way better, but they’re out in the mission fields, they teach faith, not religion.
Ashley Hughes yeah it’s full of terrible man-made stories like solomon and jobe etc. now don’t get me wrong there are a lot of great lessons and i have learned a lot from the bible, but i’m not a christian. yahweh is a jealous and flawed god, just like the people who made him. christianity is cause for multiple historic accounts of war, death, misleading poor, confusing the people, impoverishing, stealing, corrupting government, and taking advantage of the people who believe. there are so many denominations of christianity and some of them are miles different from each other. they are all made up and changed and are skewed any which way to keep people under its grasp. the only reason it exist is because people didn’t know what happened when they died, they didn’t know why they were alive, and they didn’t have a reference tool for what was right and wrong. religion was created to fill that hole and give people hope and purpose. then it was used to gain power and steal. it is still used for that reason. i have nothing against christians, most of them are the kindest and sweetest people. it is purely the religion that i dislike.
@@TheRealSavi you claim God is jealous therefore flawed, do you not believe there is a righteous sense of jealousy?
Troy there is no righteous sense of jealousy
@@TheRealSavi Or it could be true
Dax writes powerful lyrics. He is extremely under-rated. His faith is strong. He also wrote.Dear Alcohol.
He’s “confused” on how Dax is a believer after asking all these questions. Man really doesn’t understand Christianity. It’s healthy to ask god questions, it’s healthy to question the world around you, it’s called thinking instead of following blindly and praying that your questions get answered.
Thats why they didnt go into details on answering the questions dax was asking. Not to mentioned there face was to stuck, they was avoiding alot of it when it came about religion, believer, and having faith, other thing i had notice is in the end of the video dax mentions, im still a believer so im going to end this with an AMEN, and the pastor ended up saying oh i didnt catch that, and im surprised it ended it like that, i need to talk to him (with a big ass creepy smile on his face) another than is the pastor got supper mad where his face turned red and you can tell during this video he wasn't in for it for the message he was only in it for the money........... Pt2 will come base on a reply back
Joshua Parra well I'm wanting to hear more at least.
The Spirit of God is not the Spirit of doubt or confusion, which are the Spirits possessing DAX. He says he believes but he doesnt really, he is double minded.
Troy yeeeeeeeeiiiikes.
To question God means to doubt Him, and that's akin to NOT having faith, which the Bible says makes it IMPOSSIBLE to please God.
All you need to know about God is in his word, the Bible. You don't become a medical doctor by going to an empty classroom and yelling, 'WHAT ARE OUR BODIES MADE OF?', instead of enrolling for degree in medicine, understanding lectures given by actual lecturers, reading medical books and passing exams. Please it is common sense.
It's amusing how people deny His existence and power just because we can't see Him, then carry on being controlled by things we can't see - emotions, thoughts, even the oxygen we breathe - like seeing is actually a criteria for believing. No verse in the Bible says seeing is believing, those are man's words NOT God's.
Your curiosity should lead you to studying the Bible and fellowshipping with his followers NOT slandering His name because of the little things you think you deserve and haven't gotten.
Case in point, you can't connect with a spiritual being (God is a spirit) without first understanding how to attune yourself spiritually.
I’m a man of faith and I get where Dax is coming from. Growing up in a rough neighborhood, you go through some dark times. Hungry, scared, sad, barley making it, struggling. And when you try and do good, the devil pulls you back. At one point as a believer you question God, you get mad when you’re doing your best ( reading the word, praying, giving yourself and submitting to God) yet the hard times get worse. Life beats you down hence the reason why Dax is beat up in this video. For a small period, I have up on God. I stopped believing. I was angry with him. I cried and begged for him to come in my life and all I got was silence. Then the question comes up; “How is it that I’m living right and not getting anything but pain and suffering but my friend is drinking, doing drugs, sinning but has a great job, career and home?” It messes with your mind but there’s that little bit of faith that keeps you connected with Jesus. Cause you know deep in your heart he’s real. The devil will tempt and make things look beautiful on the outside. For me, Jesus needed me one in one. Broke me down, humbled me and rebuilt me. I hate that I had to go through all the pain and suffering but It made me stronger. Jesus carries me and was there the whole time. The devil made me think I was alone. This is what Dax hasn’t figured out yet. Jesus may not be there when you want but he’s always on time. Keep the faith. The lord gives his toughest battles to his strongest warriors 💪
I feel like when you don't appreciate the little things in life you don't know when God is present or not.every source of happiness and positivity tells me that God is present. But I understand that darkness is so thick that you can't see or notice the light that surrounds you. So that's when you must ask God to help you see it. I don't know if that helps or makes sense but I felt like it had to be said🙂
@@nickyosehi571 it sure does make sense. Thank you for taking the time and mentioning that. God bless 😇
YOUR FAITH HAS SAVED YOU
I believe when we are on our path to greatness in gods eyes the devil attacks harder and if you keep pushing through god will push him Back he will keep trying to snatch you back but you just keep resisting the 👿 and good will come. My husband and i have been through it and finally making it through all our to the good power of our lord.
Absolutely right 🔥🔥🔥
I know I am late to the conversation; however, I cannot help but comment because the response to this song by the pastor and his son completely broke my heart. With the success you have had with this platform, you fell very short of the mark with this "reaction." I am a mental health counselor who worked with incarcerated male juveniles in a treatment center. Today, my husband and I still hold Bible study on Sundays with those same young men. I am also now in private practice, and my targeted clients are parents who have been under CPS investigation. Obviously most of the kids we work with don't come from tight knit families, many of them have been molested, many are gang members, most of them are searching for answers...and they ask us all the time why God doesn't listen. So many people in our society have the very questions asked in this video. On one hand, I as a Christian do cringe at the language and at what I first perceived as disrespect; however, the biggest stab to the heart came at the pastor's last comment that he wonders what the artist is saying. That statement was naivety in all its tragedy. So many people today feel the hopelessness and anger portrayed by Dax, who was raw enough, brave enough, talented enough to put it down in words meant to challenge the church body as a whole. Plainly stated, while it does reflect his own questions, it was a scathing observation of how ineffective the church is in today's societal climate. The questions he asked rightfully deserve careful, thoughtful, honest answers, and we as Christians are not providing them. We (the church) are failing to meet the needs of the people God has placed around us. We are not listening or understanding or offering hope or providing answers; rather, we are too busy furthering our own personal goals and justifying why we don't have time to do the work we are supposed to do. I pray God places someone in the path of Dax that will sincerely look beyond the cussing...beyond the doubt...beyond the words of rejection at times spoken by the artist. I pray that the person God's sends sees the true desire Dax has for answers and for unbreakable, unquestioning faith....someone who is not afraid of the very challenge that God Himself is offering to the church in a roundabout way through this song...someone who will show him why he can safely believe in the existence of a God who views His people as a people "greatly loved" (Daniel 10:19). But that will require someone truly willing to get down into the trenches, and therein lies the problem.

i spent my last 2 years just thinking the same thing
asking the same questions
and i got nothing
My faith has dissipated for the same reason. I was abused, used, and hurt by so many people. Why can't I get better? Why did he let those people hurt me if hes such a caring god? I didn't deserve anything and for him to supposedly test me by giving me this sh*t is twisted and inhumane. I'm not sure I want to believe in that even if I'm risking eternity by not.... sorry for the rant

God bless DAX and my Heavenly Father for helping me currently “cope” with the grief of losing my 23yo little brother to suicide only a month ago, just two days after Xmas and one day after his 23rd birthday 😢💔❤️🙏🏻
My older brother died when I was four and he was five in a car accident and my little brother looked exactly like him he was so proud to look like him too now they’re both in the same cemetery, I get scared I’ll lose the battle sometimes and end up there too but DAX’ music truly helps me and guides me back to the light ❤
Also DAX thankyou for all of your songs they help me get closer to god without even meaning to.
I always had a good relationship with god in my childhood even though my parents were not church going and they were divorced however my father always had different child prayer books as an option for me as he wanted me to feel the true connection with god without being coerced by outside influences also I found out later he prayed too but he didn’t want me to feel like I had too. I thank him for that so much and now me and my father pray together and share that love of god with each other it’s special in my life. My paternal grandfather was training to become a catholic priest when he fell in love with my late grandmother Nancy, however Nancy raised hers boys non denominational and my maternal grandmother is catholic
As much as I can appreciate the “reaction” to the video, you can clearly see that he’s not trying to offend anyone in his “answers”. They are watered down and although there is faith in it, he’s beating around the bush on how he really feels. The song is incredible, and scripture doesn’t change. The artist, Dax, is literally speaking the thoughts of millions of people. If you’re a believer and follower of Christ, then it’s gonna be raw on how you feel. No lukewarm feelings.
And he’s not talking about the Gospel, he’s talking about religion. When people follow a religion over Christ, then of course there will be corruption in the world.
At the end of his song he says bring back X. Hes referring to the Antichrist.
@@jesusisdead ???
@@TouHaros X is the symbol for the Antichrist. Its the Antichrist cross
@@TheMsimington excactly it's a relationship not a religion
Dax's song helped lead me on a path to find true freedom from self. I'm 40 years old with a whole new understanding of God's love. This (song) is a blessing from God. I understand it as a prayer.
Awesome man, congrats to and bless you, brother.
This song saves me from my inner demons, realizing I am a sinner and need to repent🙏
May Almighty Creator bless you🙏
He’s asking all the questions a lot of people have for god
Its rebellious question, its only for the people who don't really love God and read His words
Your name is hitler so you must love God. Like tf
Let’s be real... I’m not a follower like that, it’s not really sum I can wrap my head around, but if there was a “god” per say... why tf would he put us here... why make us live in these lives that are virtually meaningless to him, why make us waste precious time doing stupid things🤷♂️
BaCMONO1738 I recommend watching frank turek/cross examined he answers and gives valid points on pretty much any questions people have
Duhh, its a 2000 years old made up story to control sheeple.
I can relate to this song a ton. To me it's very clear that Dax is a believer and has faith. He has the same questions that we all have, or have at least thought of, but feel uncomfortable, or feel that God would spite us for questioning. I've been listening to this song a ton the last few days and feel it was well written and appreciate the vulnerability that Dax shared with us. Thank you!

He made me have faith after being atheist for over 20yrs. This song. He did good, helped me anyway
I think that is amazing! And this song should be easy to understand, everyone that believes has questioned and doubted and if you haven’t I don’t think you really believe, you just say your a believer/Christian/catholic etc. Faith is the hardest thing to have because there will never be proof. People with faith are some of the strongest people, because again to have true blind faith is hard.
@@PerryONeaI 100% agree!!!
stay strong, don't let the world drag you down, your eyes are open, praise God!! i bet you have a powerful testimony
Omg lmao funny how someone hears a song and claims they changed cause of this song or this guy 👏
You're just weak.
I have listened to this song many times and in my own opinion I feel as if it's one of the realest prayers I've ever heard that's why he ends with amen. It's like it rains on the just and the unjust how can someone be a child molester and still be a millionaire while that child is trying to figure out what they did wrong and maybe doesn't have food to eat or their parents sold them for drugs. Sometimes life doesn't make sense and sometimes I think if I was God I'd get tired of "Help me pass this test so I can get a good job" or "thank you for all the things you've done for me". This prayer by DAX is asking how can all this happen? Sure we can sit and watch the news how someone raped and murdered some lady but imagine it being your daughter, you can't say you wouldn't be mad or even lose faith. Everything happens for a reason but what's the reason? Maybe you got a DUI and everything is hard now but someone's grandfather is laying in a nursing home bed soiled and starving to death because the staff doesn't care Why? You run up to the grocery store to get Thanksgiving dinner and someone steals your kids. what was supposed to be a nice dinner turned into hell on earth. You go to the movies with your wife and kids but on the way there an accident happens you get out but you hear the screaming from your wife and kids as they burn alive trapped inside. I could go on forever but this song is the realest prayer I've ever heard. At least that's how I interpreted it.
❤️
I almost feel like the pastor wasn’t paying attention or denying some of the songs points so he doesn’t question his very own faith
you cant comment on something you have never experienced and its not his fault he had a blessed life be thankful he would more then likely give you the shirt off his back
exactly fears his position and congregations dought,his income/power
but makes himself look ignorant,arrogant and judgmental as well as to immature in his knowledge of gospel and mankinds insecurities as he states he feel towards dax's knowledge being immature. projecting.deflecting and ands comanding belief???/ narcissistic traits

I think it's because he cusses tbh
@@bloonsplayer6774 yes
Exactly!!!
fr i swear some people think dax made the song to just straight up question everything and they think it’s a bad thing. but this is all based on his experiences and his perspectives it takes a lot of guts to talk to god and tell him everything your thinking regarding to him and questioning everything he does but it’s another level to post it on social media and let everyone in the world be able to hear what you have to say. i think that alone makes dax such a strong and amazing person and it just shows that even when u get a little higher up in the world and start to get fame you still have real world problems and you still have questions
Pastor: You just really need faith.
Dax: How could I have faith when there is no hope!
True
Lmao when the pastor has no idea wht hes talkin about
Hope is within the words of God. Search and speak to Jesus, wonderful things will happen to your life!
Well I thought faith is what gave us hope

Well jesus wasn't a Christian he was the Christ lol Christian literally translates to little christ which was actually coined after its initial use was considered derogatory lol

I relate to what u said 💯
I relate as well💯💯
This songs represents believers who have believed for a long time like myself. Who can have faith enough to see miracles when my children almost die. But on the other hand have struggled in poverty my whole life no matter how hard i've worked. Who have seen my whole family saved but struggle to get them to get past life constantly kicking them down and keeping them from believing faith works. My husband and i were youth ministers who have seen a lot of kids, teens and young adults saved and move on into life as Christians but at the same time couldn't pay our utilities. We own our home free and clear and was to be our last home but our city put a homeless shelter next door. The people who run it don't care about the homeless it was so our town could get a grant. So the "homeless" are now destroying our property. The director and employees are never there. These are the kind of things that make people get angry not with God so much as with, "He said let he who lacks wisdom ask". Then there are the Christians we all know who always think if you as a Christian are not seeing prosperity, healing and other problems resolved then your faith us weak. Sometimes it's because unlike some Christians we know we don't always think everyone is getting it wrong. Life is hard, harder for some. We don't cut people out of our lives because they struggle alot, mess up sometimes, etc. My husband just worked 8 weeks for a "Christian legalist" that only paid for 3 weeks of work. Not the first time he's done it. I understand about generational curses, results if sin, etc. But I also know sometimes the devil just knows you are going to be tough to get away from God.

Ibrahim Saleh That’s a very true statement
@Ibrahim Saleh Nas said it before Xxx, people fear what they don't understand and hate what they cannot conquer
I love seeing thought provoking songs like this actually taken and tried to be understood. And I've listened to the song for a few years but never saw the video, and I've found my own concept of God that differs from religion but having been raised as a pastor's grandchild but also (on the opposite side of the family) an atheist's son, so I always felt this conflict (God is not all powerful, or he is not all good; not that it really matters either way in the end whether I die and it's back to the Cauldron for rebirth or it's Heaven or it's Hades (Greek Hades being the realm of the dead in general) or it's the void with eternal sleep). Seeing the video now for the first time, all I can think of is Jesus' crisis of "Why have you forsaken me?"

David cried out to God when in distress but didn’t doubt God will deliver him. Dax is showing tons of doubt in God and even speaking blasphemous towards him saying God fears him. I wouldn’t say they relate much but I will say his recent songs he seems to have matured as a believer. I believe which is apparent in this song and with most believers. He struggles with sin and sin is hindering his relationship with God.
“He that walketh in his uprightness feareth the LORD: But he that is perverse in his ways despiseth him.”
Proverbs 14:2
“Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.”
John 9:31
Why would God acknowledge such a song that shows no fear or respect towards his. The words he uses shows he despises God I believe if he spends time in his word God reveals all to us
These reactions even confirm that Christianity has a lot of mysteries especially when everyone else understands it differently
I'm not christian, but I do understand that it is one of the best religion in the world. It has brought more good than bad throughout history.
Zhenyu Cai Iam a Christian and I can tell you it is full of hypocrisy.
@@thelittlebossproductions6346 people ruin things and I just want my fellow Christians to be truthful.
Well not truthful but more obedient to their practices.
@@zhenyucai8688 Why do you decide not to be Christian if you believe it is one of the best? What keeps you from asking Jesus to be your savior? He loves you. He wants you to know him.
The pastor here was said he found the last line interesting, as Dax said he was still a believer..... ummmm, that was also his first line of this song...
But it's kinda muttered.

You just don’t know how much I needed this 😭 ❤
We just have to accept that being a believer won't make life easy 4 us coz what's life without challenges and temptation,it is in those trials that God reveals Himself to us.
What's the point of all this though? This pain and this struggle? What is the point of it?
@@angeliquenorman1169 It's a test for us to see that even if we are in pain we still have faith in GOD
@@hikaruharen9866 God is omniscient though, he knows exactly what we're going to do before we do it .. So that can't be the reason
@@angeliquenorman1169 God loves everyone so there is a reason for having struggles and pain, It's just us people who thinks that God is punishing us.... It's not punishment it's a trial....
@@hikaruharen9866 okay fine, but what is the reason ke? Honestly what is it?
I want to touch on the fact that he ended with “amen”. It shows that he does have a strong relationship with god. You should have a relationship that your able to talk freely and it doesn’t make you a bad Christian to have “doubts”. Everyone questions everything
Exactly
@@supernovaedits14 I have felt what he felt and said what he said and regretted it at the end so whatever happens before shouting at God, It's better to pray to know the truth to have a bit more faith to be happy with God...
David was always like that with God. He spoke his heart and mind always and that made him a man after God’s own heart.
This is the best of DAX!!
Facts
Also a song call the Devils plan it a diss to the Devil
@@PhillyCART-qv1wxyou mean Devil's Work by Joyner?
@@tysonzion13 no devils plan
Tyson Zion we’re talking about Dax here bruh😂
I believe he's being the rawest form of raw in terms of the questions that believers sometimes struggle with and cry out to God about asking "why God? Why??" And we all struggle with things like that sometimes
Pastor handled the part about "Im not looking for church, im looking for family" really well. I have left many churches bc many push attendance and if you dont meet certain characteristic youre not always welcome into the family.
Spot on
Amen to that I think that was my favourite verse in the song 💓
Pastor you're not answering the questions accordingly, you're skipping them
True
true
true
thats the definition of religeon
@@nalumx yeah, people are really expecting life changing answers from him lol
How can I have faith when there is no hope
That’s a fire line🔥
Andre Nickatina said it first on his song 'my 15th birthday'. which is not a religious song
but what about 'how can i have hope when there is no faith' ? makes more sense to me
Jay Lee who’s that
My hope is that God is there, so i have eternal faith in him
Really hot
Dax asked the questions that all of us are afraid to ask and I have all respect for him
"It makes me wonder what he was trying to communicate." - Pastor
You have got to be fucking kidding me...
@Mervyn Ronald But it isn't a situation where he's trying to outsmart someone. We out here with real questions and looking for answers. Know what I mean?
He asks real questions that real searching truth Christians ask themselves through their walk.
And God does understand. We don't need them to explain something to us. God is not dogma
He isn't talking about him self, he making the lyrics for the thing that most people think
Well wrong 😂
He’s talking about his self and it’s pretty obvious
Never assume. You never know the purpose of an artist's work for certain
He is talking about both his experience as well as other people. Common things
Wrong, this song is very personal to him sorry 🤷🏾♂️
no matter what language u speak, he triggers something in you. His Voice has so much impact, that rly makes u thinking about things
When I was in the midst of meth addiction this song helped me find the truth and thank God I received the holy spirit. God used this song for the good in me
Congratulations on being sober!! Proud of you. ❤🙏
I'd be really interested to see your take on two songs.
Joyner lucas - Devils work
Bizzle - Devils work response
You'd need to do them in that order....but definitely in this sorta field....
Just seen you've done devils work, I'll watch that next. Please do the response, it's much better!
@@cliffbenton7014 I think they did
Cliff Benton they did them already
@@dseenationalx428 yeah cheers i found them!
ill mind of hopsin 7 is a must
This channel is super important. Kudos to both of you for being so open and mature in these conversations. You challenge each other in a helpful way, the world needs to have more people communicating in this patient, respectful way.
7:12 - 9:09
The younger guy keeps having to remind the older guy what the question is
and he keeps trying to rephrase the question because it's like the older guy either doesn't understand the question or keeps forgetting what the question is.
Eventually, the younger guy just gives up. He's never going to get a straight answer to the actual question. And the older guy is never going to realize (or admit?) that he's talking around the question instead of answering it.
James Apperson yeah I noticed that too, it’s a shame
Yeah he dodged a lot of questions
You can see the young man is giving him every opportunity to be engaged in the analysis of the video, it's like he is pulling his teeth to get him to "react". Why bother with the video.
True
This is what most All pastors do and it fucking kills me
This song sums up how I felt when I first got sober. My Demons we battling with for my soul. I had so many unanswered questions. Then the Power and Grace of God showed up. He worked through another person and who led me to AA. God stepped in and fought my demons for me. They went away. Now my life is better, at least in the respect of my strong faith. I asked for Him to set my feet on the path He wanted for me and I would, without question, follow Him. God is Great ALL the time. ❤🙏❤
Dad: explains his thought
Son: "Okay boomer"
Stepski_bah SKSKSK GET OUT OF HERE
He said it m...
Dax.. ~Dear God Why does everything about u end up in a debate
This is what he meant
sandrah richards babiite that was a real good question
Exactly
I am a believer of Christ but this pastor is like an overpaid tutor that doesn’t teach anything
right he can't even explain what happens when "God" doesn't show up to help
They began by selling their stuff🤣
Ah oop- the truth.
Yes
I'm a Muslim and we believe in Jesus too, we just believe that he was our mightiest prophet, I agree with your statement
I totally agree with the other comments. I think you(pastor) see this a little differently because you have such a strong faith and relationship with god. I feel like Dax was shedding light on the thoughts and feelings a lot of us are having lately. I think we are afraid to say these things for fear of being judged. Which sort of gives more and more power to the feelings and thoughts which makes them harder and harder to deal with.
But for those of us just starting or restarting our spiritual journey, hearing these things out loud is very powerful and a huge relief. Feeling that weight lifting and realizing you are not alone gives us a nudge and helps us realize that the questions and issues we have are not problems to solve.. they are insecurities to overcome..
these insecurities can hold onto you and really keep you from moving forward and it really starts to cause pain and anger....
I think that is why so many of us credit dax for helping us find our way to god and believe god works through him on some level. His words take the power away and help us let go and begin to move forward again....
Great video. It really gets you thinking and is incredibly insightful!
Also....
Thanks Dax! God Bless!!
He’s asking questions most of us are scared to ask scared to speak or when’s the pain gonna stop when are we gonna get a break when we will feel what we’ve always prayed for why did he create us to be how we are how are we supposed to fix us when he made us why can’t he help us why do we mix up what he believed in and out it our own words how are we supposed to trust another soul another child of god if we are all equal why should we believe what another one of us say
Littlejt nigga if your really smart you’ve asked all those questions in your head while keeping your faith and realizing what your asking that the whole point of you asking that while saying your a “ believer” is just for clout . Where’s the faith it’s like when we about to strike gold the final hour and now everyone wanna start asking like they doing everything right .
AK SLICK I agree , I’ve asked them questions many times and still believe , Dax just put them into a song for all the hear
He is so right
Littlejt ur down times is when the Lord carries u life is a test and tests are not easy God that pulled u through will help u
AK SLICK I’m not saying we don’t but we don’t have a big enough voice to speak out to more than ourselves and let the questions reminisce over the ones who don’t ask those questions the ones living a perfect life that didn’t have to struggle or know what hurting is till the hit rock bittom
Jesus said: He who has an ear, let him hear.
To hear is not just to listen literally but to obey. Problem is, not everybody is not humble enough to hear or listen to His words.
“‘“You will indeed hear but never understand, and you will indeed see but never perceive.”
Mh this hit me 🙌🏽
Yes , this is it 💯🔥
I'm confused. Is the bottom a Bible verse?
- Gods Not Real - 😞
You don't get the point, now if you say this someone can ask , was jesus real , none of us was there when all this happened, we just read it in a book and we grew up listening to these teachings
"OH GOD I DON'T WANNA HEAR IT FROM ANYONE, I WANNA HEAR IT FROM YOU! DEAR GOD."
Dax's words are a wake up call to us all believers...I am certain the questions he asks show us that he is at some level of awareness....In the journey to establish where we come from, who we are and our place in the universe, we need to ask such questions such that we raise our awareness- which is why we are here..
Dax is going through what most people go through, we have a lot of questions that need to be addressed... We tell our stories differently, then he chose music whilst some of us go silent... DAX advocates for a million souls out there... I need answers too😭😭😭 and it hurts each night going to bed in tears , waking up in puffy eyes... We need answers not reactions...
couldn’t have said it better myself🙏
some people don’t realize how much a lot of us relate to music and artists like dax. the fact that he can go out and do this brings hope to people like us that don’t know how to talk about what we are feeling
@Winnie we all need answers, in fact you couldn’t have said it any better. Thanks
When dax mentions about pastors molesting children the pastor reacting to this was like "aight umma head out"
Catholics do it all the time
Yes CATHOLICS do all the time
All do they all take advantage . Presbyterian chalothic protestant Methodist all will take advantage
😂😂😂
If y’all don’t know this, Dax was a preacher himself.
Really????
😯😯
And a janitor
Seriously? ??
And a professional bingo player
This is the first time I have ever seen your reaction show. I honestly only watched it because I saw the name DAX and that stopped me in my tracks. I couldn't hit the play button quick enough. A friend told me about how good his music was but I said I didn't listen to much of anything but rock music and I didn't even bother trying for a few months. I was riding with him one day and he played a song named Depression by DAX. It hit me like a ton of bricks! I could relate to everything he was saying. I couldn't wait to hear all his songs. I was playing them back to back. I mean I was totally blown away! I could feel his hurt, confusion, anger and disappointment in his words and music. His songs are sermons. I could tell he was a believer almost right away. After listening to his music I don't want to hear any other artist but DAX. He has inspired me in so many ways to do better with the things I struggle with in life. He tells it all in it's true manner like I have never heard before. I love this guy and I pray for him. I could tell every word he was singing was from deep in his soul. I take his songs to heart seriously because they are. He is definitely mineristng to us that listen to his work. He is the only artist that I understand every word he sings. I mean every word! I apologize for this being so long but it's something I need to say cause I never join these kind of forms because of people's crud remarks to others. I haven't seen that on here but this is the first time I've been on here. Well I've said all that to say this and not meaning what I'm about to say to be disrespectful or mean but the man in the sweat shirt ( sorry man I didn't catch your name at the beginning) didn't have an understanding much at all with the video and never answered a question but with a question never giving me much reaction but confusion. The other pastor was pretty good with most of his reactions with clearer answers. Even though he didn't relate correctly with everything DAX was singing in the video. I understand this is the first time you guys have heard DAX but I thought y'all didn't do well at all. Cause I understood him from the first word till last the very first time I heard his songs. Not only understood but felt it for real! I don't plan on ever hearing your show again for any reason. Again not being ugly or disrespectful to you guys. I don't think you should give your first reaction or impressions of someone you no nothing about. Because first impressions are usually wrong or judgemental because you have never walked in the shoes of that person to know what they have been through or going through. You could be misleading to your audience ( well ones that can't think for themselves ) bad then they go out and start bashing someone they no nothing about cause they took your impression and not there's. I just don't want someone being misled because of y'all's reaction. I understand y'all might mean this for good but you could accidentally mislead people and not realize it. I urge you both to listen to all DAX music several times if need be and get a full understanding of this man's talent and his true story. He is getting attacked spiritually from all sides. He wants answers and we all want answers. But we know we will not get most of those answers till JESUS calls us home. But GOD is an awesome GOD and HIS ways are always right even if we don't understand them yet. I encourage y'all to pray for DAX with his struggles and pain. He needs it and we all need it. Prayer is all we got and prayer is our most powerful tool. I don't know you two pastors but I think y'all thought this would be a good thing to do and it might be. Just please be careful and don't accidentally steer someone wrong. I'm not saying don't speak the truth( please do) just make sure it's the truth! May GOD bless you all, MARK.
