At this year’s Liberty University Convocation, North America’s
largest weekly gathering of Christian students, Lecrae talked about
erasing the secular-sacred divide. He pointed out that everything is
God’s, so there shouldn’t be a division between our role in society and
our role in the church.
As representatives of God’s kingdom, we should engage, love and
rehabilitate every aspect of today’s culture for His purposes. Following
a passionate time of worship at Liberty University Convocation, Grammy
award-winning hip-hop artist Lecrae questioned the notion that there is a
divide between “the sacred and the secular.”
“The earth is the Lord’s, and everything thereof … everything belongs
to God,” he declared. “We live fragmented lives. Church and family
rarely speak to our work and our public life. (We say) ‘I will be one
way here and another way there.’”
Lecrae shared how
he found God’s grace as a college student through the ministry of a
person from a completely different cultural background. The person did
not judge him because of how he lived or the culture he came from. He
was not disgusted by Lecrae’s lifestyle but instead saw someone who God
loved and could redeem. Since beginning a relationship with Jesus
Christ, Lecrae’s life was transformed, and he said that is the power of
God’s redemption picture.
This was Lecrae’s first time addressing the student body in
Convocation. He returned to the stage for a sold-out concert, sponsored
by Student Activities and featuring Andy Mineo and Propaganda.

Watch his message on the three keys to impacting culture, the
workplace, and ultimately the world: engage it, love it, and redeem it.
