– Kanye West joins Lecrae, Hillsong Young & Free for teens’ conference
After Crist was “removed due to a moral failure” in November, Strength to Stand Student Bible Conference leader Scott Dawson was looking to find someone to fill the slot until a friend suggested the mainstream fashion leader and hip-hop artist.
Dawson said he was shocked when he picked up the phone and West was on the other end.
For many years, West publicly projected a God complex through his blasphemous alter ego Yeezus. But in 2019, everything changed for him, and he began his Sunday Service events featuring a Gospel choir that reimagined mainstream songs with Christian lyrics. The “Jesus Walks” emcee declared he became a born-again Christian during this process and has since devoted his life to “working for God” and traveling the world as a music minister.
“I realized that, although this is a worldwide megastar, he was a brother in Christ,” Dawson revealed in a YouTube video recently posted. “He told me his testimony. He told me his struggles, what he was still going through. He said he’s been delivered, but he’s on a growth journey with Jesus.”
When asked if he would consider being a headliner in the conference, West assuredly responded, “After prayer and deliberation, I want you to know that I’m not considering it: I’m coming. I’ll be there for your January conference.”
West, whose album Jesus Is King made Billboard history this year, will be joining Lecrae, Tauren Wells, Hillsong Young & Free and others as a headliner, each performing on different nights.
After the announcement of West’s appearance, the conference quickly sold out.
