In this episode, we discuss various topics including hip hop culture, mind control, and the state of marriages within the Christian community during the pandemic. Bizzle shares his journey as an artist, his criticisms of mainstream hip hop, and his commitment to making a difference in the genre. The conversation also delves into the importance of controlling one’s thoughts, aligning them with God’s word, and the role of music in shaping thoughts and actions.

The Power of Prayer and Guarding One’s Thoughts

Our conversation kicked off expressing their gratitude for another day to fulfill their purpose. We encouraged listeners to deepen their relationship with God through meaningful conversations and prayer. The real talk topic of the day was mind control and the importance of guarding one’s thoughts, a concept backed by Matthew 26:41.

We were thrilled to have Bizzle, an artist from God Over Money, join us for the spiritual detox segment. His impact on the Christian hip hop genre and his ability to challenge listeners through his music is commendable. We discussed his latest project, “Light Work Volume 3,” and expressed our excitement about discussing music, hip hop culture, and the state of the church with him.

The Impact of the Pandemic on Christian Marriages

The conversation took a turn towards the impact of the pandemic on marriages within the Christian community. We observed many kingdom marriages crumbling during the pandemic and pondered why this might have happened. The enemy has intensified his attacks on marriages in general, and the pandemic, with its isolation and lack of social interaction, contributed to depression and anxiety, which in turn affected marriages.

Bizzle’s Journey in the Music Industry

Bizzle shared the challenges he faced early on in his career, where people tried to pressure him into dissing others in his songs. He emphasized his refusal to be controlled by anyone except God and his determination to follow His lead.

The State of Hip Hop

As we celebrated the 50th anniversary of hip hop, Bizzle admitted that he has fallen out of love with mainstream hip hop. He criticized the genre for promoting death, hypersexuality, and drug use, which he believes leads people down a destructive path. Despite his criticisms, Bizzle acknowledged the power of hip hop as a tool to reach people and expressed his commitment to making a difference in the genre.

Bizzle’s Interactions with Mainstream Artists

We also discussed Bizzle’s interactions with mainstream artists. While he has had some conversations with them, he emphasized the importance of building relationships and understanding others before passing judgment.

The Power of Music and Lyrics in Shaping Our Thoughts

The conversation then shifted to the main topic of the episode, which is conquering ungodly thoughts. We discussed the importance of being mindful of the thoughts that enter our minds and how they can influence our actions. We talked about the need to take breaks from certain media and entertainment that may trigger ungodly thoughts.

Controlling Our Thoughts and Aligning Them with God’s Word

We emphasized the importance of controlling our thoughts and aligning them with God’s word. Our thoughts can lead us astray and cause our lives to spin out of control if we don’t have God as our guide. We discussed how successful people can hit a brick wall when they become out of control and how God sometimes takes everything away to refocus them.

The Importance of Recognizing and Controlling Our Thoughts

We reflected on the importance of recognizing and controlling our thoughts. We emphasized the difference between being tempted and dwelling on ungodly thoughts, urging listeners to examine their thoughts based on God’s word and replace negative thoughts with positive ones.

In conclusion, this conversation emphasized the importance of controlling our thoughts, filling our minds with positivity, and staying focused on God’s word and purpose. It also highlighted the impact of music in spreading the gospel and encouraged listeners to support Bizzle‘s music and upcoming tour.
