On this episode of Da Fixx, we had an engaging conversation with music composer extraordinaire International Show. We discuss everything from the music industry to his relationship with his faither and the impact it had on his faith. In our real talk segment, we’re taking a look at what it means to live a Christ-like life and what it looks like today.

Holiday Celebrations and Upcoming Interviews

Our conversation kicked off with a light-hearted discussion about our recent holiday celebrations. We shared our culinary adventures, which included dishes like jerk marinated cauliflower steaks, tahini Mexican corn, barbecued mushrooms, smoked carrots, and hummus. We also reminisced about our family gatherings and the heartwarming conversations we had.

We then shifted gears to talk about our upcoming interview with talented songwriter, producer, and director of music signed to Amplified, IntlShow. We’re excited to delve into the topic of conforming to look like Christ with him.

Music Industry Controversy and Taking the High Road

The conversation took a serious turn as we discussed a recent controversy involving Lecrae and Dee-1. Lecrae had released a controversial shirt that has since been discontinued, and D1 expressed his upset about it on social media. However, Lecrae and Dee-1 had a conversation off-air to address the issue. We all agreed on the importance of handling such controversies privately and taking the high road.

Dice Gamble shared her thoughts on the situation, emphasizing the importance of living in two places at once – being from heaven but also being present on Earth. She admires Lecrae for not letting the controversy affect him too much and being willing to let go of things that don’t matter in the grand scheme of things.

Personal Growth and Transformation

International Show shared his personal journey, from struggling with rent payments to starting his own ministry. He emphasized the importance of learning from our mistakes and not always being bailed out. He also discussed his calling to start his own ministry, which was confirmed during a concert he did last year. He shared his journey in the music industry, working with his producer, Soul Centric, and releasing a record called “Rise” in 2020.

International Show reflected on his father’s behavior and how it impacted his perception of Christianity. He shared his past involvement in gambling and his realization of the importance of investing money instead of wasting it on quick money schemes. He emphasized the need to live a Christ-like life by engaging with and helping those around them.

The Importance of Spiritual Growth

In our real talk segment, we talked about the importance of being filled with the spirit and anointing to fight against real demons. Emphasizing the importance of spiritual growth and questioned why some people are lazy and not working on their spiritual calling.

Dice Gamble agreed with him and added that some people may not want to be like Christ, which is the goal of transformation. She encouraged asking questions that prompt others to speak to God instead of judging them.

Addressing Sensitive Issues

DJ Focus expressed his disappointment with the lack of boldness from believers in talking about certain issues. He specifically mentioned Christian outlets and artists who are not addressing these issues and even supporting content that goes against their beliefs. He mentioned praying for Doja Cat and her family.

Dice Gamble agreed with DJ Focus, emphasizing the importance of privacy, respect, and dignity. They both discussed the need for people to think about others and not just themselves, especially in sensitive situations.

Wrapping Up
