Lecrae | Finding Hope and Taking Action

Welcome to Jon Gordon's Positive University Podcast. On this episode Jon is joined by multi Grammy Award-winning, platinum selling artist, and New York Times bestselling author, Lecrae.

Lecrae is a visionary thought leader with much wisdom to share, as you'll hear during this episode. Jon and Lecrae talk about:

• How to transform communities and create lasting change
• How to find hope in the midst of struggle
• How we address racism from a Biblical perspective
• The dangers of Cancel Culture
• And so much more..

We especially loved hearing Lecrae's authenticity as he talked about his own struggles with depression and anxiety and how God is restoring him and others through it.

Special Bonus: Lecrae also shares a surprising, yet incredible role he'd LOVE to play in a movie. It's so good. : )
