In this episode of The Deep End, Lecrae sits down with world-renowned Bible teacher, author, and activist Christine Caine. Christine opens up about her powerful journey from being an "unnamed" child in Australia to leading a global movement against human trafficking.

She dives deep into the reality of childhood trauma, the shocking discovery of her adoption at age 33, and how she learned to "rewire" her brain through the Word of God. Whether you are struggling with a "mother wound," navigating disappointment in church leadership, or feeling like you're in your own "Hell Week," this conversation offers a roadmap for moving from survival to a life of true, supernatural flourishing.

In this episode, we discuss:

• How to handle the "pain of recovery" after a life-altering injury or trauma.

• The difference between a "well-managed life" and a supernatural one.

• Why your history does not define your destiny.

• Practical wisdom for the next generation of leaders in a social media-driven world.

• Why the most fruitful decade of your life might still be ahead of you.

What does it really take to survive marriage, ministry, fame, mental health battles, and faith... all at the same time? In this episode of The Deep End, Lecrae sits down with gospel icons, actors, and comedians David Mann and Tamela Mann for one of the most raw and honest conversations we've ever had. They open up about their nearly 40-year marriage, childhood trauma, poverty, blended family challenges, public scrutiny, depression, suicidal thoughts, and the faith that held them together when everything else was falling apart. From dumpster-diving as teenagers to standing ovations with Tyler Perry, from silent suffering to healing through therapy and prayer. This is survival, grace, repentance, forgiveness, and love that refuses to quit.

If you've ever wondered:

– How strong marriages are actually built

– What faith looks like in depression, not just success

– How to support a spouse who is drowning silently

– Why therapy and prayer are not enemies

– Or how God redeems the most painful chapters

This conversation is for you.

📌 Topics we cover:

• Why Christians are pressured to join the culture war
• Lecrae's personal story after Charlie Kirk's death

Erwin McManus has been called a heretic, a cultural architect, and one of the most misunderstood pastors in America. In this raw and unfiltered conversation with Lecrae, Erwin shares his story—from immigrating from El Salvador and growing up in a broken home, to searching through philosophy and world religions, to finally encountering Jesus in a way that changed everything.

In this special episode of The Deep End, Lecrae sits down with two of his closest friends and longtime collaborators — Trip Lee and Tedashii — for an honest, funny, and deeply reflective conversation about faith, friendship, calling, and the wild journey that brought them here.

They rewind the tape on the early days of 116, talk about what it was really like building something that would later shape an entire movement, and reflect on what they didn't understand at the time — about leadership, influence, pressure, and God's timing.

Along the way, they unpack:

• How none of this was part of a master plan — and why that matters
• The tension between calling and control
• What leadership looks like when you don't actually want to be "the leader"
• How God used imperfect people, imperfect theology, and imperfect moments to do something lasting
• Why the impact often becomes clear only in the rearview mirror

There are serious moments. There are nostalgic moments. There are hilarious stories (including tour chaos, bad pranks, and arguments that started because everyone was tired and hungry). But underneath it all is a deeper question:

What does it look like to stay faithful over decades — not just seasons?

This episode isn't just about music. It's about friendship that lasts, calling that matures, and a faith that grows deeper as it gets tested by real life.

Whether you've followed these guys since the early 116 days or you're meeting them for the first time, this conversation is a reminder that God rarely writes straight lines — but He does write meaningful stories.

In this deeply moving episode of The Deep End, I sit down with Tu Lam—the real-life Special Ops Green Beret whose story inspired one of Call of Duty's most iconic characters. From escaping wartime Vietnam on a fishing boat to enduring two decades of combat and battling addiction, Tu Lam's journey is as harrowing as it is hopeful. He shares how a chance encounter with "Amazing Grace" in Ranger School planted the first breadcrumb of God's mercy, and how a desperate walk with his dog led to an overwhelming encounter with Jesus that broke him and rebuilt him. Together we explore the cost of war—both physical and spiritual—and how faith can redeem even the darkest places.

Join us as we unpack what it means to fight for freedom, find forgiveness, and discover purpose beyond the battlefield. Don't miss this unforgettable conversation.

DC Young Fly opens up like never before.

In this conversation, he speaks honestly about losing his wife, navigating grief, and what it means to stay obedient to God when life doesn't make sense. This isn't about fame, comedy, or success—it's about weakness, discipline, faith, and learning how to respond when everything changes.

I sat down with Carl Lentz in an unfiltered conversation about his rise, his "fall" and what comes next.

No pre-packaged answers, no PR spin—just a man who's been through the fire and lived to tell the story.

We talk about:

🔥 The pressure of leading Hillsong NYC and how it all unraveled

🔥 What real repentance and accountability look like after public failure

🔥 The dark side of church culture, leadership, and 'celebrity pastors'

A lot of people have opinions about Carl, but few have actually heard him speak for himself. This is that chance.

In this raw and powerful conversation, Tasha Cobbs Leonard sits down with Lecrae to talk about the struggles behind her success—her battle with depression, anxiety, rejection, and body image, and how faith helped her overcome. She opens up about the backlash from the church over her collaboration with Nicki Minaj, the weight of expectations, and finding balance between faith and mental health.

We also cover:

🔥 How did "Break Every Chain" change her life?

🔥 What does the church get wrong about obesity & self-worth?

🔥 How did she navigate rejection while leading worship?

This is Tasha Cobbs Leonard like you've never heard her before — unfiltered and honest.

🚨 This Story Will Change How You See God & Suffering 🚨

I sat down with Colton Moore, a young man who has been battling a rare disease, Ewing Sarcoma, since he was just 9 years old. His story is one of unimaginable pain, faith, and resilience—from losing his leg to cancer, waking up from a coma on his 10th Birthday, and now facing an incurable diagnosis. This is not just a story about cancer; this is a story about faith in the fire, purpose through suffering, and trusting God even when the answers don't come.

I sat down with Yamisel Briscoe to hear her story, and I was NOT ready for what she shared. She grew up surrounded by witchcraft, the occult, and things most of us don't even think about. But the craziest part? She didn't even realize what she was caught in… until it was too late. 

This is one of the wildest testimonies I've ever heard, and I had to share it with y'all.

If you've ever wondered about spiritual warfare, the reality of the supernatural, or how God can redeem ANY story, this episode is for you. Don't miss this one.

Let's go to the Deep End.

This one's different. I sat down with my guy Jason Wilson—a bestselling author and the founder of the Cave of Adullam—to talk about what it really means to be a man. We're breaking down stereotypes, emotional healing, why men are stuck in boxes, and why crying more might be the key to freedom.

Jason's story is deep, and his wisdom is next level. This really challenged me.

This episode is for you.
