The Deep End With Lecrae

Lecrae 121 Episodes Aug 21, 2026

Life is hard and things are going to fall apart at some point or another – especially when you've experienced trauma in your life. But the problem is that most Christians can't be seen to have moments when they lose control or even struggle. By being honest with the challenges he's faced, Lecrae is going to dive into the hard things no one else will face and talk about what life looks like when you go off the deep end. This show is not for perfect people or people who've never made mistakes. This show is for the rest of us who are just trying to pick up the pieces and find a way forward with vulnerability and honesty.

My Biggest Critic Deserves An Answer.
My Biggest Critic Deserves An Answer. Jul 28, 2026 01:23:10 You've seen the clip. Before Lecrae responds to Marcus Rogers, he asks a harder question: when did we start treating Matthew 18 like a flowchart for public callouts instead of a chapter about not losing your brother? In this episode, Lecrae unpacks the viral clip from Marcus Rogers and uses it as a launching pad for something bigger than one callout: how discernment culture works, where it goes wr

I Was Done With Christianity Until He Showed Up.
I Was Done With Christianity Until He Showed Up. Jul 9, 2026 41:40 Tim Keller was Lecrae's Michael Jordan. Ten years of sermons, a shared reading list with Kendrick Lamar, and a friendship that started with him shaking like "a stripper in church on Sunday." Then 2016 happened, and Lecrae stopped listening to any theologian who looked like Keller. In week two of his series on the men who shaped his theology, Lecrae gets brutally honest about Doctor Timothy Keller:
The John Piper Story I've Never Told
The John Piper Story I've Never Told Jul 3, 2026 01:06:14 "I made an idol out of John Piper." Lecrae doesn't say that lightly. For years, John Piper shaped the way he read the Bible, understood God, wrote music, and approached ministry. His sermons became the soundtrack to an entire season of Lecrae's life. When he finally met Piper, after meeting celebrities, athletes, and presidents, no one left him more starstruck. But admiration has a way of becoming

I Interviewed Justin Bieber's Pastor (he surprised me…) Jun 25, 2026 01:00:30 From the time he was 7 years old, his dad told him: people like you and want to hear what you have to say. Judah Smith spent the next four decades finding out what that actually meant — and what it cost. He became one of the most recognizable preachers in America. Known as Bieber's pastor. Called America's sexiest pastor. Put on the Mount Rushmore of celebrity pastors. And now, sitting across from

Lecrae Has A Deep Convo With Dr. Anita Phillips Jun 18, 2026 01:19:10 Dr. Anita Phillips spent 27 years married, went through a divorce, and still woke up the next day believing God is good. That's not a talking point. That's a testimony. In this conversation, the NYT bestselling author of The Garden Within, trauma therapist, and lead pastor joins Lecrae for one of the most wide-ranging, deeply personal episodes of The Deep End yet. They go everywhere. From her u
I Finally Want to Address Everything...
I Finally Want to Address Everything... Jun 12, 2026 01:01:25 Some of what you've said about me is right. I want to say which parts, specifically. When Reach Records partnered with Phillip Anthony Mitchell and 2819 Church, it cracked something open — years of assumptions, questions, and criticisms about Lecrae that people had been carrying quietly suddenly got loud. So instead of guessing what people were thinking, he asked. Voice memos. Real questions. No p

Deiondra Sanders Breaks Her Silence on Deion Sanders, Jacquees, and New Motherhood Jun 4, 2026 01:02:43 She grew up in one of the most famous families in American sports — and somehow didn't fully realize it until Deion's Hall of Fame weekend. Deondra Sanders sits down with Lecrae to talk about growing up as Primetime's daughter, losing herself in a relationship, navigating a high-risk pregnancy, postpartum depression, a very public breakup, and what it actually looks like to rebuild when the whol
