It's not giving you're music to Christians, it's giving God the glory for the talent He bestowed upon you, but to each his own.
YES 🙌🙌🙌 Good word!!
Yea I feel like he’s doing that
I agree
'Im not confused about who gave me the gift, God gave me the ability to do this' - NF Therapy Session
You got kaney west heer saying hes A Christian given his lIfe to God Fulley AnD Your Saying Its Not giving Youre Music To God Thats Somting
Els Man but am not judging
The best thing is NF still alive and we could still pray for him for his salvation in Jesus Christ.. amen
He is a Christian.
God bless!!
he is a Christian already
I thought he was a Christian... but this is old maybe he is now??
At 3:27-30 he says, "What are the answers? I think I know there's a God." That indicates that he's not 100% sure. He can be a Christian, but be a spiritual baby (spiritually immature). Be careful when saying someone isn't a Christian. Someone can be a Christian, but their faith may be weak or they are spiritually immature. We don't really know where he is.
I think NF was actually wise talking about his relationship with God the way he did. Like he admits he does get lost in his thoughts and that he doesnt talk to God as much as he thinks he does. It feels real and is relatable. Thanks for showing the interview.
NF is Gifted, but conflicted with doubt about Jesus Christ. He said it himself, "I don't see myself as a Christian Rapper." Enough said. We need to pray for each other and not judge. 🙏🏽💛✌🏽
He's a Christian but it's the label "Christian rapper" that him and alot of other rappers said they don't like. They're just Christians that rap and make music for everyone to listen to while also talking about their faith.
@@bret1930 then you arent chriztian buddy. If your christian all your gifts should be shared to PRAISE god not for pagans. Fame doesnt matter to God. If God want s you famous then so be it but i see alot of rappers using the christian rapper label untill they are famous then just start rejecting Christ
Jesus said if you deny me , i deny u also.
He gotta make up his mind soon. Because Jesus is coming anytime sooner than we think.
I think hes torn between eminem and Jesus hahaha joke
@leecieシ and why is the "christian rapper" label so bad? Because it'll take away your fame? And yes its fantastic he talks about his emotions and stuff. Problem is.... his music doesnt praise God. It praises "his feelings". Thats the problem.
Now I don’t believe that he is a Christian rapper but I do believe that he does bring people closer to Jesus well that’s at least how I feel
He does that. Fr. Eventually you gotta stop idiolizing him and put his music a side and put faith in god.
@@splinkagade7201 *God
@Tucker Mulder *GOD
its true
@Tucker Mulder He used to rap a lot more about God, but it seems like he does not near as much anymore. Look at his Moments album and the I'm Free album
NF is in a dangerous position. Either he is of this world or God's. You cannot serve two masters.
Very true.
"I do not live for the world, i live for the KING.
-NF
yet unlike other Christian artists, he is actually known for being a Christian rapper ....... maybe he does not show it, but his heart speaks and that's enough
@@JOHN62688 he isnt a christian rapper he made it clear, hes a rapper whos christian
freezi yes, definitely.
As a Christian I get where he's coming from. NONE of us are perfect. We all have questions. It's real easy to judge someone from an interview instead of looking at yourself.
😂😂😂 Y'all modern "Christians" are so phony. As an atheist, I see a significant difference between the Christians of the new testament in the Bible and today's "Christians". It seems like the Church over the centuries has lost its potency.
no comment.
Christian Kimmel what is a fake christian 🤦♂️. Stop being a clown and hating
@@tez817 thats so painfull but so true hearing these words from atheist
@@empo2085 agreed, Tez's comment really hit me for a good moment.
I actually pray for NF. I pray for his mental health, family and faith.
Yeas we need to pray I do to
yep
I feel you, but when God gives one a platform and an opportunity to share Jesus' name, one needs to do so.
Amen
Exactly
I believe NF does this. By addressing real-world problems and putting God in there as a way for redemption from those. If you listen to his songs carefully, you may notice this.
@@GawneForever which is why I love his music.
He did, listen to Oh lord, can you hold me, those songs are topics about Jesus
Praying for you NF.... I listen to your Song O Lord and I hope those lyrics come to life for you. Being christain is something we have to identify with as Sons of God. Still I love you bro and hope you find your way.
he is a Christian but he is also a rapper. If you are a christian and work as a doctor, are you a Christian doctor then?
Amen!! Agreed!
Ya, he is kind of being hypocritical. I hope he turns back to god
I feel conflicted about this because I understand what you are saying but also think that if we are truly saved and understand what God has done for us then we should do everything to the glory of his Kingdom and not to build up ourselves.
Pure Merpy My problem is not with NF and his standing in his faith because I agree that we all go through a lot and sometimes struggle to believe. My problem is with what this guy is saying about how it is “dope” to have a belief but not be a Christian rapper because if we do have a belief then we should exalt his name in all we do and not be lukewarm
Me too, you got to share if you were born again. By not clarifying if you have a relationship with Jesus is like saying I don’t want to acknowledge my spouse even though we’re married.
he got caught up in the fame. Doesn't rap about God nomore. backslider
SexyJohn hey dude, I believe the reason NF decided to not label himself as a “Christian rapper” in order to draw in non-believers who don’t believe in Jesus whatsoever but enjoy the music. Music is a very powerful thing, and it can root itself and its beliefs deep into someone’s life, so when Nate plants that seed in someone by throwing in lines such as “talk to God, He’s the only one that listens” and “I’m going to start this year by talking to God though,” it may have the potential to grow. Just because NF isn’t there to see a seed grow doesn’t mean he isn’t a part of its process. In fact, he does an extremely important thing by being one of the few to plant that seed rather than to just nourish soil that lacks seedlings.
Isaac can I get your evidence on that?
I’m a die hard Christian and I listen to NF. Mainly because he speak some real stuff & he doesn’t curse in his music. The moment he curse or show a sinful mindset then I’m out. Plain & simple. Which is why most prolly associate him as being a Christian artist because he’s not cursing in his lyrics, talking bout drugs, money, fame, etc. real recognize real no matter who you are.
I feel you man, I really do. I'm just glad Jesus didn't leave me when I showed a sinful mindset.
@@joeyverhelle7577 I agree bro
It’s “die hard” bro. I really hope you haven’t thought it was “die heart” this whole time
@@riotpoliceTRELL (Hamburger / cheeseburger) u new wat eye ment. Let me correct it 4 yoo.
hes cursed in his music b4 tho
We just need to pray for him.
he's fine
And that my friends is what happens when you grow up inside a religion and not a way of life based on Jesus. The problem with most churches is that they follow tradition not the bible. God bless NF I hope one day he use his talent to fight against evil
The problem with most “churches” is that they decided they wanted to do something different and make up their own rules and interpret scripture the way they like. The ones that are rooted in tradition follow what was put in place by Jesus, the Apostles, etc
@@sammckinnon8570 Actually most churches don't follow the Bible
Amen!
The deeper I did dive into this comment section the more I got scared. It's really toxic how, mostly christian people, judge NF by his struggle
@c00ksenTV :( awww....let's stay wholesome heree
@@anica7438 yeah, please let's be that
I know right?? I've seen everything from condemning him from his tattoos to saying because he's not born again everything about him is empty
A lot of his songs have a Christian undertone.
@@mrs.a7498 agreed, but he made the music for everyone, not just Christian. He puts HIMSELF into his music, therefore the Christian undertone, but he doesn't through it out there, or rub it in our face
There’s nothing wrong with being a deep thinker. There’s also nothing unusual about questioning God. Even the disciples often did so. But there has to come a time when you lay down your desires and plans and surrender to God’s. If you know God you’ll know peace.
WHO SAID there was anything wrong with it 🙄 most people are just mindless idiots so I can see how it's unusual for u
I feel like when people only use the term "God" and never refer to Jesus, shows me were there at in their faith.
Hello! God ,Jesus and the holly spirit are the SAME
@@calebdelacruz275 Mm, yes and no. The Bible says that Jesus is the only name under heaven that all man shall be saved by. The Bible doesn't "God" it says Jesus. There's a difference. God and god sound the same when said out loud too.
I agree
Like how lecrae is doing now. Before he really blew up his music glorified the Father and Jesus name was always praised in every song. Now I don’t ever hear the name of Jesus in his new music. So far. But I still jam his stuff and the rest is between him and God
I think because Nate has struggled so much and has experienced some things that we as fans will never know about he often has lost faith. Growing up in a very judgmental church I totally understand where he is coming from. He has been through so much and it hard for him....I saw his wife show her wedding vows when they got married and in it she says that she will always help them both to honor God so I think she is helping him get back to his faith and work out a lot of his issues. He seems like a incredible guy who really wants to reach people with his music and I pray for him often because I know his life is not all happy and he is trying to be a better person. 🙏
Update for yall, he is still a Christian. He has a very strong faith and you can hear it in his new music. God gave him this as an outlet and now NF has a kid. He is blessed.
I don't know, in his newest song "HOPE" it's all about himself and how *he* got to the point where he is and how *he* is in control of his life now..
@@BadKommentator yeah I'm a bit "eh" about it too. It's an absolutely sick song, but I can't see any solid remarks about God in there. Only really "baggage" and "chains".
What's your source?
Where do you get this update?
@BadKommentator
in Let Em Pray he says "conversations with the lord should be everyday."
Happy as a whole is literally a prayer
In Careful he says "called up to God and i asked him, 'you watching my back?' he ain't say nothing back but i heard what he said." That proves that he knows and believes God is watching him because even when we don't hear from God he still is watching over our lives.
So sad to see mostly Christians in this comment section judging him. Ugh... Regardless of his religious beliefs NF talents and hard work have truly inspired people to become better people themselves. He's saved lives with his music and is is doing the world good. I wish these people would keep an open mind and try to understand him before they criticize and think they have a right to judge him.
Only God can judge, y'all ✌🏻️
That’s not true - we can judge righteously 😊
@@jamisonphilippijust remember that the Bible says judge with the same amount of judgment you would want to be judged
I am a Christian and i can’t believe how many people on these threads are judging him. Y’all need to leave him alone smh
@@jamisonphilippi I get where you're coming from, but remember that it's easy to fall into the trap of being conceited. A quote from Paul at 1 Corinthians 10:12: "So, if you think you're standing firm, be careful that you don't fall!"
I hope we can both stay humble and proud in our life journey, brother.
I agree, it’s beyond disgusting!! He never said he doesn’t believe in God, but he has questions like we all do!
He’s allowed to create & express himself the way he chooses. He isn’t considered a Christian rapper but he still is Christian. Ppl in these comments are buggin so judgmental when they need to be worried abt their own salvation
Everyone is going off saying how NF isnt a christian rapper but hes a Christian and all that, let me break it down for you, in one of his songs he says I'm a Christian but I am not perfect. NF has never once described himself as a Christian rapper, he is just a lyricist and probably the one of the best in the entire game. My main problem with religion, ESPECIALLY christianity is how EXTREMELY judgmental everyone is towards someone. Just because someone has a different belief than you does not give you the right to judge someone based on the fact they dont agree with what you said it does not and should not give you the right to say whether someone is christian or not.
Trent Page yea when I made this video I was not expecting all these people to come bash him.🤦🏽♂️
To be fair you just judged people for being judgmental you can’t talk about a whole group of people and say their all judgemental were all judgemental we just too blind to realize it God is real and Christ rose from the dead it’s true but we’re all evil and vile it’s Christ who redeems is if you have a problem with people being judgmental take it up with the people you think are not God it’s not his fault for our sin we’re all sinner you have problems I have problems you can’t attribute something to a whole group of people their are people who call themselves christian but aren’t and their are people that call themselves Christian that are really trusting in The LORD God died for us and rose from the dead for our sin if we trust in him and repent we are saved
Hey we are judgmental through righteousness not unrighteousness, we judge in a way that is fair, meaning we say they need a saver and we need a saver....but here’s the thing, everyone needs a saver, you and I have sinned (that’s not being judgemental) and are in need of Jesus Christ...also no laws don’t get you to heaven, laws don’t help you in you’re salvation in anyway....laws are just to make you fruitful, and that’s the fruit of the Spirit, when you trust in Jesus Christ you follow the laws (do works of righteousness)
Another thing...aren’t you being judgemental also?
A bit long, but this is actually what you are saying: We labeled him as a Christian rapper and judged him for that while he never actually said he was a christian rapper and that we should stop doing that? Correct me if I'm wrong.
I GOT JESUS WHAT YOU GOT ?
God bless all of youu ❤
I really like a lot of NF's music, & much of the early stuff definitely showcases his faith front and center. But to say "I know there's A God" that's not good theology. All religions say there's A God. Then the interviewer claims to be "spiritual" and thinks that whatever god you choose really just lives inside of you. WHAT?? That's anti-Christian and anti-biblical and NF just nods and goes along with it. Now I'm not saying he should've shut down the interview and evangelized this guy but I sure hope he did afterward.
Yahweh is the 1 and ONLY God. Yahweh revealed Himself in all 3 facets (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) in the Bible. Christianity must be based on the Bible ALONE.
5IVE POINTS facts
Amen
This interview was kind of weird for me to watch... I was trying my best not to be judgmental towards Nate in a way but I found myself being like “What? I thought you were like a strong believer in the faith.” Because you know he said things like “I don’t talk to God much” it just seemed off-putting...
NF didn't seem to really know God himself, not sure if he could have evangelized if life after death is still a scary topic for him, he says that no one can be really sure but the Believer of Jesus Christ can. We've got to wake up. He isn't saved and he isn't a believer. We've got to pray for him but we can't make him something he's not.
Facts
Pray NF gets a true relationship and finds who Christ really is. Its usually what most do we only come to him in help but never talk to him to say hi to give thanks or even to pray for others. NF is being called to come back home, he has these thoughts on whats the purpose of life,creation etc because his spirit man believes but his flesh is conflicting with the spirit...theres a misconception about CHH its not limiting but all about giving glory to the kingdom(kb,bizzle,datin etc) at the end of the dau God gave the gift so why not give glorify him through your gift. If aint Christ its of the adversary not be even sound judgmental at all but truth is there's no in between.
Amen imma pray for him
Truth!!!! Remember where you came from NF
‘Finds what god really is’ then he wouldn’t be singing about god at all. God ain’t real... there’s sooo much proof... sorry to break it to you.
NF doesn't seem to be born again based on His empty answer as the Holy Spirit bears witness in us (not brings confusion)... pray NF gets truly saved
Only God knows , the Bible says he will know us by our fruits
Who gave you the right to judge? Maybe he is.
These are the words of a spirit of ego
Screw. You. Understand some life homes.
Totally agree! his not born again that’s exactly what i discerned from what I’m hearing him say I figured his more of a traditional Christian besides that the bible is clear we are to glorify Jesus Christ in EVERYTHING we do evidently his not and it seems to me his more interested in impacting millions with secular music then he is about impacting millions for Christ 🤷🏻♀️ I consider that to be a great opportunity lost! his not a true follower of Christ . May the lord open his spirit eyes .
I love how nf is so real with his relationship with God, so many Christians are so judgemnetal because they think that if you’re Christian you have to be Christian rapper, Christian singer or whatever,God has a different purpose for everyone is not going to look like everyone else because God made us different with different talents, God doesn’t care about a title, he cares about you as a person
yesss!! and your relationship with him too
@Greg Turner bruh wtf is wrong with tou, get some help. Nobody asked for you write an essay...
No one is judging him , we care about him and his soul after death. the truth hurts, but we can’t serve two masters. If you deny Jesus, then He will deny you. God bless ❤️
as a Christian, i 100% agree
How do you know no one is judging him. Someone said he is not going to be saved because he has tattoos.
Jesus is coming back be ready people's
From what he raps, when you listen to the lyrics it's as a narrative of a man who knows his position and where he needs to be. I believe he is more aware of why he stated he is not a "Christian Rapper" then the audience even knows... and by far i am not judging him, but his own lyrics state "Take it from me, I am nothing but a hypocrite
I hate sin, but I built a house and I still live in it
Afraid to open up the door to you and let you into it".. This man is able to reach a broad audience because he does speak on real life moments and experiences that have had a tremendous impact on individuals lifes mainly the youth, but you got to be careful as he states "So I chain my soul to the heartbreak" because it can happen. I'm not saying it's easy or wrong for admitting where your at in life but you need encourage yourself in the Lord and set a direction to follow, and that example is by Christ. Allowing him to heal you, give him time and be patient he'll do his part. But you have to do yours as well... God Bless
He has so many songs where he openly expresses his love for Jesus and the song I'll Keep On speaks of his struggle to remain close to God. I can relate to it soooo much. We all struggle and he isn't any less Christian just because he has doubt. He needs prayer and encouragement
I felt weird watching this, NF sounds a bit confused about God and it's strange because he doesn't sound like the same person I used to listen to in songs like All I Have and Oh Lord, its strange because he makes God sound like something everyone has a different version of God and I just feel like he just agreed to everything the other guy said which I felt was wrong. Idk if it's the fame or the money but I hope he finds Christ for real.
Yeah i noticed thar too. Praying for him🙏🙏❤.
that*
YES AMEN!
True man, true.
Drugs get to people
The interviewer is incredibly confused about God.
The interviewer, NF, AND this commentator are confused. Lifting them up in prayer...in Jesus’s name. Amen.
@@santanabartholomew7722 a lot of Christians are confused.
Honestly (and I’m assuming a lot right now), a lot of NF’s depression could stem from being conflicted between the world and God.
“I don’t really understand myself, for I want to do what is right, but I don’t do it. Instead, I do what I hate.” - Romans 7:15
There’s no right or wrong way of giving God praise and glory. His walk with God may not look like yours, but as he states in the interview, not everyone thinks the same way - especially Christians.
Never judge ppl like you are GOD...
You knew nothing about him..
You can't be off the world and still love God... if you love him you are called to him and called to his purpose, to glorify him 🙂
very true bro
Yesss, amen. We must do to self. Take up the cross and follow Him 🕊🙏🏼🤍
its a shame. we ought to share the gospel. not be ashamed of it.
He is not ashamed of anything. This man has been through hell in his life and he is struggling with life at times! We all question God sometimes because none of us is perfect. He loves God but is struggling and we need to pray for him.
Just becuase you aren’t always talking about. God in all your music doesn’t mean you are ashamed
Do you talk about your faith in EVERYTHING you do? EVERY conversation? No, just because it’s not EVERYTHING he’s singing about doesn’t mean he’s ashamed
@@sammckinnon8570 the converstion rn was about God..
It's not on you to "shame" people.
I feel this interviewer kinda set NF up at 2: 05 when he spoke about God being whatever you want him to be or something like that NF should have told the truth not just agree......same thing happened to Luran
Jonnell Grant facts yo. 🤦🏾♂️
🤦🏾♂️ Help us Lord please. Help us be bold like Apostles in Jesus name. We’re here to proclaim the Gospel when we truly get saved. Being Christian is ALL ABOUT RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. Speaking to Him, praying, worshiping dude.. 😢😔
So relived to see some people still belive thanks brother.
This guy is troubled. He is doubting his faith. He said "...believe there is a God" almost uncountable times.
It's sad, looking back at his song "I Got Jesus" and "Oh Lord" where he said that God definetly exists...
How do you know that? That’s his walk with God, not yours.
Tray, look up Christian Atheist. It’s a real thing. It’s when you believe in God but live like he’s not real. Just be careful who you’re letting in your life and pay attention to if you are a Christian Atheist or not. Because you can’t live for the world but also live for God you have to choose one or the other. The Bible says deny yourself and pick up your daily cross. Your self could be your addiction to the world.
People, don't judge! it's not cool, it's not OK. If you want to pray for him, great, but stop judging please. God bless.
This is what happens when you run away from Jesus Christ being the way the truth and the life, you begin to fool yourself into thinking anything is right and okay. Any way, any truth, any life, and god will say depart from me I never knew you on judgement day.
Who are you and who gave you to the right to judge did God not say to not judge others
Lmao look whos talking
Ur not supposedd to judge, If U dont like it, ignore, like it? Support.. Plus, His Personal Life or about being christian shouldnt be Ur bussiness and u havs no right to judge, onlygod does
First...it’s God, not god. And He alone has the right to judge others
@@sammckinnon8570 Yes God has the right to any judgment he wishes. But also commands us as his people to judge righteously. Just as the apostle Paul said 1 Cor 6:1-3 1 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints? 2 Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world will be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters? 3 Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life? "
I will be keeping you in my prayers because your music is inspiring.
6:25 interviewer thought he's bout to get slapped by Nate funny...
Hey bro! 😭😭😂
😂 good catch
I pray that he will seek God for who He truly is.
Just leave the man alone, he's struggling with his own issues without people questioning his faith. He thinks about this stuff and has doubt in his mind, the faith is there to bridge that gap that doubt creates
Romans 1:28 (NAS): And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper,
Also, just to add and not to shame anyone but to bring forth the light of Christ and what the word of God actually says and not poorly or with bias paraphrase my internal interpretation of His word. Read this from Romans
Romans 1:18-25 (NAS): Unbelief and Its Consequences
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,
19 because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them.
20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.
21 For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing to be wise, they became fools,
23 and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures.
24 Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them.
25 For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen
This man has shared something private and the only comments I see are telling him how he should talk about God or his faith. None of you actually grasp his music if your first thought is "he should have said more."
Rejection is expected, it's just weird when it comes from fellow Christians.
No it’s not. Even Jesus’s disciples has doubts
Rejection and doubts are different. It’s ok to have doubts. Just like temptation and sin are different. It’s ok to be tempted, as a matter of fact temptation can be a good thing, it depends on whether we act on it or not.
Atheism is like gambling when you die and found that God exist what your reaction would be
And being sucked into any religion is gambling with life.
What if you find He doesn't exist?
As Christians we NEED to be known as Christians, we need to stand out to other people and it says this in the bible
The dude is known as a Christian. Who makes rap. Lol? What else do you need. He's not gonna be fake with his music. If you've ever made any
Man this dude has really inspired me with his words
He hasn't truly surrendered to Christ yet.
He will, we all do.
@@itsebudesu hopefully before it's too late.
I dont think you're in a position to say whether or not he's "surrendered to jesus". That's only your Gods place.
@@pomelo7903 The Bible says we can judge by the fruit.
@@577buttfan you can judge by the fruit but it wont make you a better person judging someone for their beliefs. Everyone worships a god different and "surrenders" when they're ready. It is no ones power or position to judge how someone believes or how someone prays which is my main problem with religion and mostly christianity
As an atheist I love NF
Poserboy, I’m not atheist, but I’m happy you can enjoy nf 😁
Same anyone can like NF he’s said so himself, hope u can eventually find Christ though
Love that!
Poserboy same bro same
Jesus saves! repent the kingdom is at hand. ❤️. ask Jesus into your heart and He will come. Much love ❤️
I love seeing all the people praying for him 🙏🙏
He seems like a very nice guy in person
hes cool i met him
@@TrayLittle Awesome
Tray Little hiiiiiiiii
To what the guy who is interviewing him said... God isn't whatever you want to believe in. There can only be one God, and that is The Lord !🙂
amen bro
Yeah but the interviewer doesn't know anything at all
"I'm Christian but I'm not perfect" All Have by NF.
Cmon man, have a full conversion to God. You gotta commit to him. Think about it, if you don’t have a relationship with God, you will not have eternal life, if you do, you will have everything you want. Gotta commit Nate...
Plqy Food He never said he doesn’t love God what do you mean?
Meaning a strong relationship
@@TrayLittle if anyone says they love God they need to follow his commandments
Yep! you can hear the struggle through his music fighting between the flesh and knowing God can help. it hurts to hear him hurt knowing that if he fully committed to his life with God he'd grow spiritually amd mentally 🥺
Disagree with you on a couple things, one is that when you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord & Savior THAT gives you eternal life, not just a relationship with God. Two, you can be saved and not get “everything” you want, that’s just not true!
I love his music and I'm a Christian. Thanks for being honest and doing what you do ❤️
Whats he saying? I got my life together thinking , listening to his music, his words, now , he's punking out, oh, let's keep the masses happy!! Make up your mind, do you believe in him or not!!!
if you don't say the name Christ as Savior there's a good chance you're not truly saved. religions have all kinds of "gods" and Jesus is what separates the One true God.
let us pray for these guys to know Christ for real
So true. God bless you.
Hallelujah
At least he's honest!!! For me I use to only talk to God when my life be tripping then I realized that God is the only one who ain't gonna ignore me or hate me so then I just start talking to God like a homie. God listens man he does
Effectively sharing the Gospel with the lost requires diverse voices. We don't all respond to the same things, therefore we need people who can reach into the places that the average church goer can't or won't.
A Christian who raps and speaks on the struggles of life, fear, depression, and faith is going to be able to touch the hearts of those who need it most much more effectively than the artist who preaches to the choir, so to speak.
There is certainly a place for artists who edify the church with their music, but being a warrior in the trenches requires an artist of a different breed. Someone who isn't afraid to be open about his faith or his shortcomings, someone who hasn't been polished to please the converted, but who has been redeemed and forged under fire to reach the lost.
The path to salvation is extremely narrow and specific, but Jesus meets everyone right where they are, and without messengers willing to break out of the confines of what church people find comfortable, so many of those people would never know that Jesus is ready to take them as they are.
All that to say, artists like NF can have a massive impact where others might not. It's okay to be honest about your imperfections, and to distance yourself from those whose calling is different from your own. It doesn't equate to a lack of salvation, as some have suggested. It just demonstrates the realities of life as a finite and sinful creature grappling with the truth and nature of an infinite and perfect God.
Everyone is loved by god but not everyone gets saved
ok 2 years late and no one will see this but I feel like I have to say something. NF is being honest in this interview. as he always is. so stop judging him. I was always taught that to truly love God and honor him, you have to love each other. yet so many people are getting mad at NF bc he's not the perfect poster boy if Christianity. no one is perfect. I know I'm not. and I have no place to judge where NF is in his relationship with god. I love NF bc he's real and he helps people, which I think is exactly what God wants from him. and I think he doesn't distinguish himself as a "christian rapper" bc he doesn't want to alienate anyone who is not Christian
Nf kinda scares me but his music is fire tho
Lol
He said that being a Christian made him judge people to much ... THATS BECAUSE god said we are not to judge one another !! WE can not live our lives AS GOD an put ourselves in his position
actually, we are called to judge righteously !
@@andreasikora1123what would christians believe judging righteously? If Jesus judged as all of you judged than he wouldn't be around sinners who he was sent to save. You guys just give people negative energy. And use the term judge righteous to justify being a horrible person.
I hope he gets saved. I really thought he was judging by his “i got Jesus” song but he doenst really looks so sure of God at all here.
Praying for him.❤️✝️
He is. He has said. He’s a Christian but not. A Christian rapper 🙏🏻✝️
@@juliogallardo9220 yea but being a Christian and being saved are two different things...✝️
@@sandershano5758 how do u know he’s not saved 💀 u not judging rightfully
@@juliogallardo9220 watch the interview, he looks so unsure of God. But yea God knows better.
That’s the interview. You don’t know him deep down.
I feel like people are completely one sided. Left rt right. White or black. Yes or no. Why can't we have middle ground. I dont understand. Most of us are in the middle. But we fight on one side or the other. I hate it!!! Compromise people. Please!!!!
I feel a bit conflicted on this,because like I am a Christian and so NF says he is one,but if he says he is one he has too believe in God 100%. That is what God says. He says I would rather you be ice cold than luke warm,if you are luke warm He will spit you out of His mouth. That is what God says,and I really hope NF can be a child of God 100%. Everybody sins, I do too,but NF has to come to God with everything and believe in God with all his heart.
God bless🙌
One of the reasons people love NF is because he has some kind of relationship or at least an idea of God but yet is clearly a flawed human. We need Christian rappers who are devout to also be flawed humans too. The bible is about flawed humans. That’s what people are longing for. Truth and honesty.
y’all!! we can pray for NF but he talks about exactly what everyone is doing in the comments… judging. i’m a christian but i get driven away from judgmental christians. the judgment has nothing to do with it being Gods fault, and he thinks the same way. we gotta be supportive, and if we do so, his relationship with Jesus will thrive. bashing him won’t do anything… he’s doing great especially with OCD. OCD makes you think way too deeply about everything. it makes having a relationship with Jesus 1,000% more difficult. trust me, i know, i have OCD. he’s in the right place. we just need to all pray for each other that our mental state & humanity will bring us closer to him, not further.
“This is NF this is the real him” I wish artists could be this honest and real bc at the end of the day if they are your true fans they will stand by you bc they love you for who you are and what you put out there
He was a Christian Rapper and has expanded to just Rapper who is a Christian which is not a bad thing. He reaches more people this way. God is with him ❤🙏🏼
All these Christians telling Nate to commit to a relationship with God.... Do y'all even listen to the mans music? He like many aren't ready. He may never be, the fact that he believes that there is a god is okay. You can't force religion or a realtionship on someone....
Homie better get on the right track Cuz wide is the path that leads to hell and narrow the path that leads to heaven. Some of us gon end of Holy Some gon end up Hot 💯💯
Isaac stop pushing your agenda
Derf G Quoting the Bible does not despite the fact that you’re pushing your agenda
Derf G you’re pushing your religion (agenda) on people who didn’t ask
DONT GIVE UP! ALWAYS PRAY TO GOD WITH A SINCERE HEART TO GUIDE YOU TO THE TRUTH!
There's only one God and that's Jesus, He is the way the Truth and the Life, and you can't get to heaven without Him.
Jesus wants a relationship with you, you come to Him as you are and you chose to follow Him and let Him change you from the inside.
Aw man... his (possible) faith side was what was so attracting for me to his music as a whole. Otherwise there’s so many other rappers all rapping just about there life and stuff.
I’m just confused about whether it’s bad or not that NF is creating secular music. The Bible doesn’t really talk about that and I’ve heard some people say it’s wrong while others say it’s right.
@@ifeawe I think its fine. I think people can sing about anything in life or anything that inspires them... sometimes that can be about god specifically and sometimes not. Do you think jesus would hear someone singing and be like "stop stop... sing only me"...Have you read the book "The Shack" it gave me the best understanding of god in a way that made sense to me. Look into it.
@@LH-mp9xg I guess but then a lot of people argue that if God gave you the talent to sing then you must use it to glorify His name so it’s quite confusing. I guess it depends on your relationship with God and how the Holy Spirit guides you.
(I’ll look into the book by the way)
@@ifeawe having a talent to sing, even if not singing christ based music, still opens door to share christ with people. like thru the ideas you represent and teach and the way you share and talk to people. Glorifying god and spreading the kingdom come in other ways vs just preaching the name of jesus.
IF YA LOOK IN THE BIBLE SOME OF THE BIGGEST FOLLOWERS WERE NOT HOLY AND ALWAYS QUESTIONS THINGS. NF IS A GREAT RAPPER PERIOD. SNUBBED OVER AND OVER AGAIN FOR BEING WHITE AND CHRISTIAN.
Train up a child in the way he should go, Even when he is old he will not depart from it.
NF, I’ve been exactly where you’re at. Hurt, confused and doubtful. Praying that God shows you and leads you into his path of truth.
He does,some of just need the bright blinkers in th e middle of the road and th e loud speaker but trust he gets us. I prayyou are on path now
Everyone has their own journey towards christianity,the seed is there in his ❤️ heart.
Communication with God, is the most important thing someone can do as a Christian. Its like not talking to the wife at times when both partners are sitting in the same room. Church is that room where we speak to God and He speaks to us. God doesnt have to literally speak. He speaks through His word, and He speaks through the sermon. Through TV and circumstances at home, etc.
Wow yes I have been on this accord over the while especially since the beginning and ending of last to the the new year also plus happenings to me last year that were unfortunate after I had my going for whst I needed but i was told prior ashort shile before thst no matter what or how I got going thst such events would hspoen and thst would not work only fail or hurt basically fruitless and pain and so on with other situations thst I couldn't ever see or think hsppen and it did so yeah It's a proof to me especially hearing from someone close I undoubtfully undeniably trust whom was saved from well the impossible but now is leading and proving Heavenly Devine father's word and performing miracles of healing and as he passionately speaks with all glory to Lord in jesus name that what he asks will not might but will and as of so far is done onto those whom he prays over and man I can say I feel his presence from head down and up my spine when he prays for me or whom I ask that need and it.. So it's a real with all glory to God in jesus name amen... Powerful is an understatment, crying is often from reckoning and being showen or filled/touched by his presence, love beyond anything imaginable!
He's more humble then most of the people in the comments
Hasn't anyone listened...quiet quiet quiet quiet quiet ....leave me alone .....damn leave the man alone
I mean damn in hate myself he says he doesn’t like being interviewed
I’m an atheist, but I really love nf and I have been a fan since mansion.
I pray God removes your heart of stone and replaces it with one of flesh and a new spirit amen
natural trees bro really? You couldn’t just say “yeah I’m Christian but still love him” you just had to say something about me being atheist
@@obi-wankenobi4650 because I care
I apologise if I offended you in anyway. I'm still growing too ya know?
@@jonarni4144 I said I’m an atheist what do you think?
Only artist I would want to have a conversation with. No camera. No record. Just that real talk, without trying to influence the convo. Just want to hear what he thinks. Don't care if it rhymes or has a beat.
Albums on repeat for years, a few concert tickets reserved for months for concerts here in CO. It's sad that you interview this way, your rhymes don't agree with your comments in this interview. Maybe you should talk to God a little more for a change. Stand up for your faith Nate or quit leading your fans on as if you're a "Christian Rapper" going through hard times, like we "REAL" people do every day. I'm praying for you
Kamran Pounds I don’t feel like denied God in this interview
Weirdo
I feel like his anxiety plays a big role in it, I kinda recognize that from myself, it's not easy to speak up and tell the truth, especially not when you're dealing with anxiety issues. I know it is difficult to make eye contact, you always geel like people are judging or thinking something about you. I feel like it's easier for him to pour his heart out in his music. And remember he said: I believe 100% there's a God. Don't judge too fast guys, pray for Nate.
Nope. If you’re ashamed of the Lord, He’ll be ashamed of you before the Father in Heaven. Luke 9:26. If people who are living in sin can listen to your music & not be challenged to seek God and repent from sin, then you are not using your God-given skills for Him. It’s really pretty simple-you’re either doing what you do for the Lord, or you’re in it for the $ and fame. Jesus said, if you’re lukewarm...God will spew you out of His mouth. We need to seek Gods face now like never before, repent of sins, and follow Him. He’s the ultimate Creator of everything good.
Amen !
Amen
I’ll admit I was a little taken back by this interview but as a Christian, I pass zero judgment. He seems like a very troubled soul with a beautiful heart . His music is absolutely beautiful and I see him feeling such deep troubles within .
Jesus loves you the way you are ❤️
Matthew 10:33 - But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
Sounds like he is trying not to do anything to hurt career. So his career is more important than his soul?
Mark 8:36
For what does it benefit a man to gain the whole world [with all its pleasures], and forfeit his soul?
Imagine this:
You are a Christian rapper - only Christians listen to your music because non religious people don’t want to listen to Christian music.
Now:
Imagine you are a Christian and subtly put your experiences with god in your songs and loads of people listen to it because it’s just music it’s not Christian apparently.
So how many more people will turn to God once they see how great he is if everybody is already Christian? But if atheists listen to his music then they can turn to god 😱
@@wea that’s a good way to look at it too. I’ve been around a lot of Christian bands when was bouncing at ton of rock events. I saw how they acted and did. Maybe 2% actually live like it. I just didn’t like the interview how he basically denying Christ.
I can so relate to NF, I also am an avid thinker and feel the same. Great overview my man, God Bless
Pray for Nate.. this is really sad. Especially the persona of being a Christian artist when he was coming up.. now it’s like, was that just a jump off point to go mainstream?
It has nothing to do with him going mainstream. NF has never really self-identified as a christian rapper. He is a christian but does not want to be called a christian rapper. He's just a lyricist.
Trent Page It very much does.. You’re saying he didn’t identify as a Christian rapper when he was featured on the Dove awards? Years ago when he just came up? (Christian music awards). Or when he made “Start Over” with Flame? Or “Til I Die” with Toby MAC? His whole CD Mansions is about his faith..
it was following Mansions when he blew up And he got extremely popular that he began disassociating with the “Christian” rapper label.. but he was very much in that scene early on..
Trent Page My point was more so also from this interview, it seems he’s nearly abandoned the faith altogether
@@christoph1596 yes but artists tend to drift away from it. He was signed to a huge major christian label when mansion and therapy sessions dropped. He has even come out and said that he is not a Christian rapper
Trent Page Right.. Hence my original post.. through his mainstream success he abandoned the Christian music industry and it seems very much his faith as well.
I understand what he is saying but I don’t agree with it for the simple reason that Being a Christian means to being like Christ and if you are Christ like , everything that comes from you have to reflect the nature of Christ because you are Christ like. So if you say that you are Christian but you do not do Christian music what kind of music do you do ? Does your music reflect the nature of who you are inside ? If you don’t have the nature of Christ who’s nature do you have ?
Amen thank you brother! I feel he sold out. He's a sell out.. he has a track with Eminem and that says it all.. and we know Eminem's sick music.
Even NFs song makes no sense to me, he asks God "do you see us?" Of course God sees us
THATS DEEP
@@naturaltrees3997 Look it up, he has no tracks with Eminem. All of them are fan created.
Ur conflict between serving God and yourself will end when you really depends on Him... If you has decide to go with Him, you will not go to Made your own way outside Him/decide to be in a sin
Wow. The judgmental posts from so called Christians. So not once did I hear him deny God. How many of you actually listen to his music and didn’t just sit here to watch the short clip of interview to throw your petty two sense in? His music is not only about God. It’s about every day struggles in his life and everyone who can relate to these very same struggles. Keep your judgments to yourselves then face GOD and explain why you judged someone when you yourself are a sinner. Thank you for the clip and NF is an amazing artist, touching many lives and helping them get through life knowing they aren’t alone in their struggles.
“That’s what every one likes to think “
The guy's review at the end is so crappy and is not from a "Christian" perspective at all🤦. Do y'all even read the Bible at all. Y'all better create some new faith and stop associating Christ with all this madness
he puts it like this “if a plumber was a Christian you wouldn’t call him a Christian plumber so why should you call me a Christian rapper?” he thinks it’s pretty stupid.
Everyone is saying he doesn’t trust in God anymore. He talks about God in many of his songs, even in the most recent album and he talks about ‘Praying to God with his arms open’ (Hate Myself), ‘If you got questions or you need advice then talk to God, coz he’s the only one who listens, even if you think he isn’t’ (Nate) and other references. He has struggles with his faith like any other Christian, and I don’t think he isn’t ‘being a Christian’ or not glorifying God, as some people are saying.
