Dear Kanye West,

Posted on by beautybeyondbones

What a TIME to be alive, my friends!

In case you haven’t heard, Kanye West — aka: rapper extraordinaire, aka: Yeezus, aka: husband of Kim Kardashian — released an album last week titled, Jesus is King.

Yes, you read that correctly. Kanye West: with former rap hits like, “Gold Digger” and “I Love It,” — and who has famously rapped, “I am a god” — has now put out a gospel album titled, Jesus is King.

Now, if you’re “in the know” on Kanye, you will know that he has recently had a conversion of faith. And for the last better part of a year, he has been putting on “Sunday Services” — aka: church — for his A-List friends. And this album drop is, in essence, all of his modern-gospel style songs that they play at these church services.

Sunday Service

OK – now you’re caught up. So let’s really chat.

The reception of this album has been all over the map. Truly. I mean, one of the most prominent — and controversial — rappers of our time, now all of a sudden does a life-180 and is rapping about Jesus? People have a lot to say.

It’s been called “Fake Christianity.” He’s been accused of Hawking Christianity for profitable gain. One publication called it “a richly produced but largely flawed record about one man’s love of the Lord (and himself).”

And to be honest, before listening to it and really getting up to speed on “everything Kanye” — that was my initial preconceived notion of it as well: There goes Kanye — trying to make the “Church of Kanye” happen. Talk about self-glorification at its finest.

But after listening to the entire album, and watching a live stream of one of his “Sunday Services,” as well as a few interviews — I’ve gotta say — I was completely wrong.

And for that, Kanye: I’m sorry I jumped to conclusions and made a snap judgement.

You see that’s the thing — people either love or hate the album, based on how they feel about Kanye himself. They’re viewing the album — and his Christian conversion — through their lens of judgement. They think about his politics, his stance on Trump, his Twitter tirades, his past, his former songs and the self-aggrandizement they conveyed. They judge him on who he married, on his overpriced clothing line, his feud with Taylor Swift.

When people see Kanye and hear his music, their opinions are already made up, due to all of that mind clutter getting in the way. Because, face it — he — and that whole family — are polarizing.

But you know what? I love it. I love the songs. I love what he’s doing. Heck, I think I even love Kanye! And here’s why.

We are witnessing, in Kanye West — the process of coming to faith. Converting to a life that follows Christ. And you know what? Conversions are messy. Heck just look at mine — it involved nearly succumbing to a severe case of anorexia.

Conversions are humbling. They are full of shaky footing and stumbles, and highs and lows — and we are witnessing all of it in Kanye.

Some people — myself included, at first — may look at this album, and those Sunday Services, and think that it’s just some thin gospel attempt with bland Christian themes, that is really just a Kanye concert, where Kanye is front and center in this incredibly manufactured cash grab. After all, he’s married to a Kardashian.

But here’s the truth: Kanye is an incredibly gifted musician and artist. Truly. His music — all of it — is next level. The beats, the vibe, the sound. God has blessed that man immensely with musical talent. And how freaking cool that He is using it to glorify God and share the gospel with the world? I mean, he has an enormous platform, and he’s choosing to share about Jesus! Just think about the impact that could have!

Kanye is giving the world goodness through his music. He’s making faith “cool,” and mainstream, and giving it a new face, a new vibe. He’s showing the world — which is overwhelmingly agnostic and athiest, I might add — that believing in God doesn’t have to be some “church lady” existence, a la Dana Carvey on SNL. No — worshiping God can be done in all forms, including lit rap songs.

In an interview with Apple Music, he opened up about his past and his faith, saying that “it’s my job to share what Jesus has done for me.”

He opened up about his pornography addiction. About his broken past with sex and money and addiction and how he has surrendered all of that to God. Sounds like a familiar journey — and for that, I’m cheering him on.

We are all on our own individual journeys of faith. And each and every one of us is in a different place on that road. But the awesome thing is that we’re all going the same place, with the same ultimate destination.

And though all of our stories look different – Jesus’ heart of mercy and heart of love and compassion and saving grace is the same for all of us — no matter if we’ve had an eating disorder, a broken history of XYZ, or even a compilation of rap songs about screwing ho’s and other explicit/illegal activities.

Jesus embraces and changes a repentant heart. And that is the best news of all.

SO. Kanye West. I applaud the magnitude of courage it took to step out with your faith. And I’m cheering for the work you’re doing for God. And I think we should all keep Mr. West in our prayers as he puts his voice out there for Jesus, the King!

You can get his album here! My favorite song on the album is “Every Hour”!

“This is what the Lord says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life.” Ez 37:5

  1. I love your words about this topic! It’s true that when you hear the name Kanye, you think of narcissism and an egomaniac. But God uses all kinds of people and how cool that Kanye is using his platform to say that Jesus is King. Whoa! That is awesome. I am going to check out his songs.
    And you keep doing what your’e doing cause it encourages and inspires! Your outspokeness for faith and God is bold.

  4. You are so spot on. Thanks for having the courage to talk about this. I think you are exactly right about how we all view through a “lens of judgement”. It seems like we tend to look at people not through God’s eyes but our own. That’s exactly what Jesus ran into and why so many missed what God was doing. BUT, in this case with Kanye, if we can see that God is actually moving and changing him, how much then can we be encouraged to watch this play out. What if the next revival comes through celebrities? My wife and I had that conversation recently. If we watch through our own religious, judgmental lens, we will miss it and maybe even become just like the Pharisees and who opposed what God was doing.

  5. I am glad you wrote this. People are so quick to judge, label and point a finger at the “hypocrite,” and that includes people of faith…. I am pretty sure Jesus said go out and make fishers of men – there was no label there – just a person. Go and share Jesus love. We all fall short – and God is at the business of restoration. I have never been a fan of Kanye West – I didnt dislike or like. Totally neutral. However, he is speaking his heart, his soul and his mind. If that doesn’t line up with other’s expectations of him, that’s not his problem. We are called to be prepared to answer for the reason for our hope. He wants to share HIS hope with others. It’s an inspiration to watch his journey toward the TRUTH. His boldness should be a lesson for all of us – he has everything “worldly” to lose, but oh, the treasure in heaven he is building….

  6. I think he’s a neighbour to my daughter in Bratenahl OH, so this blog is of interest to me. Not sure what his motive was in recording this music but really don’t have an interest in finding out either. What we say or what we sing is not as powerful as the consistent way we act privately and in public. If what we do or say is uplifting then that will have more effect positively than a commercially sold song. 🙂

  8. Another very nice and thought provoking post. As for Kanye hopefully he has true faith to remain faithful to his profession. Way too many celebrities have faith of short duration and return to the world after a few short years. Pray for his faith to stand the test of time. Not to mention not doing it for commercial gain such as selling records and selling concert tickets. I am glad that I am not in his shoes. He is open to HUGE temptations that ordinary people do not have to face. He has moral issues to deal with that are no where close to being ordinary. He needs our prayers. What disciple in the Bible followed Jesus and then immediately started to sell records and concert tickets and made millions of dollars by it? I will wait to see if Kanye and his faith stand the test of time before truly believing him.

  10. Kanye, didn’t just find faith. Lol. Make it sound like he invented Jesus. His mom was a Baptist convert. This, is a hard one. If, he didn’t have a brand would we be talking about his relationship with God? If, he wasn’t married to a Kardashian would his faith or newest stunt matter? At $9.50 for Kanye’s album that reads, Jesus is King. I’d do better to feed some homeless for a full $10. To throw a donation in at the church food bank. To visit, the other church that takes in addicts. He’s not the first to mix religion with Capitalism. How much of Kanye West’s new album is helping anyone but himsef? Any proceeds going to that Baptist church Donde West was converted at? Maybe another Chicago church?

  15. Think about Zacchaeus the tax collector (did I spell that correctly). He came to Christ after a life time of cheating and theft. Made his fortune through abusing his position. Then came to Christ. He redeemed himself in Christs eyes going so far as selling half of his belongings and paying back four times that he had stolen. The path of redemption can be a painful humiliating experience. Mine came through nearly dying. A suicide attempt that came close to succeeding. I felt lost and alone. But when I came round in that hospital bed I was a changed man. The darkness in my very soul had overwhelmed me up unto that point.

  19. Thanks for your contribution to this conversation. Trust me, it’s everywhere. As I’ve been leading my bible study group through processing what it means for God to save someone like Kanye, it has been helpful for them to see how much grace was shown that God would save someone like them. I was pumped when I opened spotify yesterday and saw JESUS IS KING plastered across the top. All my theological study couldn’t have accomplished that. The church should be invigorated by Kanye’s zeal, myself included.

My thought after watching the interview was, Kayne, now that you’re ‘out’ with this new faith, this new love … now Satan will be at your door trying to separate you from your God … we need to pray over hime that truly nothing be able to separate him from the love of God (Romans 8:38). May God give him strength and comfort.

  24. Great post. It was very insightful. I have Catholic and Christian friends myself who are conflicted on Kanye’s new album. As someone who was a former fan of Kanye, I don’t agree with everything that he’s been saying in the media. With that being said, I’m glad that he’s bringing Christianity to the forefront. But it still seems like he’s glorifying fame, power, and money. I just hope and pray that his music will encourage both his current and new fans alike to form a deeper relationship with the Lord.

    2. Hate to throw wet blankets on people but you said it right to start, that is exactly what he is doing and if he weren’t this wouldn’t be how to go about it at all. The numbers of young people he affected negatively over the years causing such great harm requires a much different approach than this to atone and save souls for Jesus Christ. Quite the opposite of what he is doing. Mimicry of the Word of the Lord is quite vile and a true blasphemy.

  25. Caralyn,
    Sorry I don’t buy it, too conspicuous and self-serving, reminds me way too much of what the Jewish Pharisees did in old times! In his case and many others like him to be genuine he would be more quiet and behind the scenes making a conversion fully to Jesus Christ while say, opening clinics for the destitute and giving away much of the ill-gotten gains and fortune he and the Kardashians have bilked from the public with all of their self-aggrandizement and malarkey reality show-off nonsense! If you could present to them that if they mean what they are attesting to now must be proven by total humility with atonement and giving up most of their fortune do you mean to tell me that any one of them would do it? Not going to happen because they have been bitten by the serpent of this world and self-glory, pleasure and worshiping the things of this world including one’s self, which is a ticket to perdition! You miss the boat here not seeing the forest for the trees! Atonement for one’s past bad behavior and the overwhelming negative effect this man has had on so many youth is sin incarnate to the max! They are phonies and I’m not the judge but Jesus certainly pointed out that we are all supposed to carry our crosses and give up the things of this world; but this guy is just about ME, His Material Wealth, Fame and Fortune! I think most of you who buy into this are into all the hype and decadence with him in his new venture of creating a new attention grabbing commotion! You could prove what I say is all wrong if you get him to drop the act and all of the materialism while dedicating his life to helping the destitute drug addicts and criminals in prison who were into gangster rap lives heading to perdition full of lust and lies making women booty call! This is just more sensationalism and exploitation! I don’t expect many to see as I do because I know first-hand how wicked the material system is and what it did to me via the diabolical use of our politics and men’s ego’s in positions of authority lusting for more power and dominance! Not much unlike what occurred in the Old Roman Empire to “Real Christians!”
    The paradigm hasn’t changed and the evil one’s methods are intact.

      Matthew 13:13 “This is why I speak to them in parables..”

Hear this, O foolish and senseless people, who have eyes but do not see, who have ears but do not hear. “Son of man, you are living in a rebellious house. They have eyes to see but do not see, and ears to hear but do not hear, for they are a rebellious house.”

      1. Hi Caralyn, of course I agree with that sentiment in the final analysis; after all, “God’s will be done on earth as it is in heaven!” But, believe me when I tell you you’re talking to a former happy go lucky eternal optimist who was always in the ready to offer my optimism and assistance to my many siblings growing up and on to adulthood with just about anyone I could have such occasion to help; but in the end a guy who got the shaft big-time by nefarious dark forces that roam the world today via persons who have no problem with facilitating them and being minions of such destructive forces; in my case one of them was even a Catholic doctor and minister, and so I grew weary of the rhetoric and quite frankly all the BS being propagated in the massive information highway attention seeking craze; I remember a time when less was more and just like film-acting as you are well aware very subtle or even unobtrusive expression of oneself can go a long way in being authentic and visceral or real to the outside observer.
        I’ll add here now just in case someone missed it, that I never liked rap music or the sorts of characters that gravitated to it or blurted it out. Too much attitude and vain materialistic jive-ass non-sense, but the vulgarity and cheap base mind-set or even gangster agenda is what turned me off mostly about it I do believe. And, this is not to say that some of the past or current pop and rock music isn’t guilty of perpetuating the same general attitude or cheapening and devaluing of humanity; so no rapper is going to impress me with his or her spiel about doing it for God. We are all adults here and we know there are better venues and methods of accomplishing the greater good and bringing souls to God as well as redeeming oneself from living in sin while being a shining example of faith in Jesus Christ.
        God Bless You and Yours. 🙏

    If Kanye has truly accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Saviour, i pry for him to walk well and strong on this journey. My advice will be that he should humble himself for proper discipling. As a new babe in Christ, he has to be properly brought up in the Lord, his celebrity status notwithstanding.

  33. Thank you for your article. My mentor and friend always tells me I am not the Desire Police. I can’t judge anyone else’s desire to follow Jesus. I’m not a Kanye fan (not my kind of music) and all I really know of him is what little I follow in entertainment media. Most of that has not been flattering. Rather than judge one’s faith I pray for their relationship with Abba. His grace transforms even the hardest of hearts. I know. He rescued me from the poor choices I made for so much of my life. Who a is anyone to say He can’t do the same for Kanye or anyone else for that matter.

    However, like the Apostles who were initially skeptical of Saul’s conversion I fear Kanye’s conversion will be another voice for the “Prosperity Gospel”. I only say that because of his recent appearance with mega-televangelist Joel Osteen. The gospel and our relationship with Abba can be so much deeper and transformative. Either way, I hope and pray for Kanye and a beautiful relationship with Abba.

We should all be hoping and praying that his conversion is real and genuine, that he will grow as a believer and reach many for Christ. If it isn’t real, God knows that and will deal with it in time. Sadly, there are always those who are skeptical, and I understand that. In for time we will see the fruit in his life or not. But even then, Jesus is the only one who has the right to judge Kanye, just as he will judge us all. Thanks for your post!

  39. Perfectly stated! Conversion is messy, doubly so when your life’s been under the public microscope. Yet, in the face of such scrutiny, didn’t flinch, shy or hide the light under the bushel so to speak but began the mission of sharing the light.
    A new believer faces much that threaten to destroy a fledgling faith and drag you back into the world. For myself, I felt it my duty as a member of the household of faith to pray for him in his journey and Gods purpose for him. I prayed He place in his path those to foster and nurture that faith. Spiritual maturity takes time and those of us who have grown (and still growing) in faith, must be patient and nurturing with the babies in our midst.
    I look forward to watching what the Lord is performing here.

  41. Its always a great event when a person comes to Christ for salvation and believes the gospel that He died for his sins and rose from the dead, and is then forever saved from his sins and the wrath that God does say is coming on this world because of sin. When that person is a celebrity, sometimes we think it even better, because his status will reach others.
    I find it wonderful that Kanye has trusted Christ and rejoice that Christ has saved a man. And that the man wants to now use the talents that he has to glorify Christ is wonderful too. I am glad that he is doing this.
    I do also think that Kanye would be wise to slow down a little as a spokesman and do what the Bible teaches, and that is to study the Bible to show himself approved unto God. I’m not saying that he has not, but he is still very young in the faith and because of that short time has much to learn, while he has many hanging on his every word, some trying to find reason to say he is not truly saved, and others maybe looking to faith that ultimately will be based on him and not on the word of God and not in Christ.
    Once in the public eye, I’m sure it is nearly impossible to get out of it, I am hoping to see Mr. West learning and growing in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ, and do pray that we will one day see him preaching the cross of Christ and the gospel of the grace of God with wisdom and knowledge from learning from the Lord in His word.
    Thank you for this post.
