Baruch: The Check In
When Holy Culture artist Baruch sat down with King Legend 757 on King Legend Talks, the conversation went far beyond music. It was a raw, faith-filled dialogue about purpose, perseverance, and staying grounded in the midst of growth. From his upcoming project God Ain’t Done to the festival he’s curating for Christian creatives, Baruch opened up about the lessons God has been teaching him—lessons rooted in humility, resilience, and obedience.
“God Ain’t Done” — A Story of Redemption and Resilience
Baruch’s debut project under Holy Culture, God Ain’t Done, captures the essence of his spiritual journey. The title, he says, reflects the truth that God is still writing his story—and ours. “The Lord saved you, He redeemed you, but God ain’t done,” he shared. The project weaves together themes of hope, faith, and perseverance, with songs like Walls Could Talk exploring God’s presence in moments of pain and silence.
What sets this project apart is its vulnerability. While Baruch is known for delivering biblical truth through hard-hitting bars, this album shows a deeper side. “This is actually my truth,” he admitted. “I talk about losing my father, crying in my car, and even thoughts of suicide. It’s me being transparent and opening up so others can see God’s healing through my story.”
Musically, the project is as diverse as its message. Tracks like T-Up bring joyful praise energy, reminding listeners that freedom in Christ isn’t stoic—it’s expressive. “We want to make Jesus cool,” Baruch said, “but the cool thing about Jesus is you can truly be yourself in Him.”
Set Ablaze: Igniting a Fire for Christ
Baruch’s vision extends beyond the studio. His Set Ablaze Festival is uniting 14 artists from across the country—from Dallas to Fort Lauderdale—to create a movement of passion and purpose. The inspiration comes straight from Luke 12:49: “I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!”
“This festival is about setting hearts on fire,” Baruch said. “Jesus had a wish—that His children would already be ablaze when He returned.” Featuring rising talents like SBG Chuck, Cameron Lightner, and TK Baby, the event is designed to showcase the next wave of Christian artists who are on fire for God but may not yet have a mainstream platform.
Despite the massive coordination it takes to put a festival together, Baruch remains grounded. “My team told me, ‘You focus on your music; we’ll handle the rest.’ That’s hard for me because I’ve been a one-man band for years. But now, I see God surrounding me with people who share the same vision.”
From Chicago to Tampa: God’s Timing Over Human Ambition
Reflecting on his journey, Baruch shared a powerful testimony about his experience with Flavor Fest. Last year, he wanted to perform on the main stage but wasn’t selected. Instead, he was invited to perform at the first-ever Flavor Fest Chicago—a smaller, more intimate event.
“I was shocked,” he said. “But God reminded me to stay grateful. That smaller stage was preparation. This year, He opened the door for me to perform on the main stage in Tampa. It’s all about timing.”
Baruch’s story is a masterclass in humility and trust. “Last year, I wanted to be seen. This year, I just want to serve. And now, God’s blessings are overflowing.”
Marriage, Ministry, and Staying Humble
The episode closed with a heartfelt discussion on marriage and spiritual maturity. Baruch celebrated his upcoming five-year anniversary and reflected on the importance of staying equally yoked. “My wife is my helpmate,” he said. “God grows us both together as long as we stay centered on Him.”
He also shared two lessons that have shaped his faith this year:
- Godly relationships require abiding, not control. “You can’t mold people—God does that. If He’s in it, He’ll hold it together.”
- Yesterday’s fruit doesn’t sustain today’s walk. “You can’t live off last year’s growth. You have to stay connected to the vine every day.”
Baruch’s closing reminder was one every believer can take to heart: “The higher you go, the lower you should go. To whom much is given, much is required. Stay humble, stay low, and let God lift you up.”
Fire That Doesn’t Fade
In a world where pride often shadows purpose, Baruch’s story shines as a reminder that authenticity and humility never go out of style. Whether he’s rapping, organizing a festival, or leading his home, his focus remains the same—to set the world ablaze with the love of Christ.
