This is one of my favorites.

Inside The Spiritual Mind of Will Smith

This is the B-Side of culture, conversation, & chaos.

Lecrae welcomes bestselling author and speaker John Bevere to The Deep End Podcast, sharing practical, scripture-based insights on overcoming offense, cultivating humility, and living with eternal perspective. In this episode, John Bevere (author of The Bait of Satan, Driven by Eternity, and The Holy Spirit) unpacks how unforgiveness builds strongholds, why true humility guards against pride, and how daily recalibration through prayer and Bible study transforms your walk with Christ. Discover actionable steps to break free from bitterness, embrace your calling as an “ordinary” believer, and prioritize spiritual maturity over performance. John also discusses the importance of caring for your body as God’s temple and what modern Christians can learn from persecuted believers worldwide.

ohn Bevere Has a DEEP Convo w/ Lecrae On Fallen Pastors, End Times, and Political Idols

From Vine skits and Impaulsive mayhem to a fresh life in Christ, comedian George Janko opens up to Lecrae about the entire journey. He revisits the whirlwind years learning from YouTube’s golden boys—and the moment he knew it was time to step away and pursue God’s call on his own terms .

George explains why topping YouTube charts still left him empty, how flipping burgers once gave him more peace than Hollywood fame, and why true success means “not throwing away your soul for the gift God gave you.”

He also shares:

<ul>
<li>Being ridiculed for his faith on set—and why he now sees persecution as part of walking with Jesus</li>
<li>His battle with cussing and smoking weed</li>
<li>Newly-married life, launching the “Man on Water” stand-up tour, and learning to keep his eyes on Christ in every storm.</li>
<li>How he stays accountable while millions are watching and why he views himself as a “baby christian”</li>
</ul>

If you’ve ever chased a dream only to find it can’t fill the void—or wondered how to keep your faith while the spotlight’s on—this conversation is for you.
