God’s Timing: Lecrae and Miles Minnick Lead a New Era in Christian Hip-Hop

With the world grappling for spiritual connection and clarity, Lecrae and Miles Minnick are leveraging the mic to provide something more than just vibes. Their appearance on Power 106's Brown Bag Mornings wasn’t just a promotional stop; it was a sermon in sneakers. The duo, now collaborators on the new project Get Well Soon, gave listeners insight into their journey of faith, the impact of mentorship, and their commitment to representing God in the culture without compromising authenticity.

Divine Timing and Lifelong Seeds

The chemistry between Lecrae and Miles Minnick is more than musical. It’s spiritual. Minnick recalls the beginning of their connection with unshakable faith. "I waited by Lecrae's tour bus with ten other people after his show," he shared. "I didn’t have VIP money, but I had faith—and my last $10. I put it in his hand and told him I believed we’d work together one day." Seven years later, Lecrae would reach out—not even knowing that the young fan he met was the same artist now collaborating with him. "I still have that $10 framed at the crib," Lecrae confirmed.

Their paths intersected in purpose, each recognizing the calling to be voices for a generation seeking God in a noisy world. For Lecrae, mentorship is a mission. He recalled how early encouragement shaped Kendrick Lamar’s career, underscoring the ripple effect of faith-driven support in hip-hop.

Battling Through Faith, Not Perfection

For both artists, faith doesn’t mean flawlessness. "We're not perfect," said Minnick. "We're just the most honest. I’m not a Christian because I have it all together—I’m a Christian because I know I’m weak and I need a savior." Lecrae added, "It’s not about never falling. It’s about knowing who catches you when you do."

This transparency fuels their music and message, connecting with fans from the church pews to the trap. Their struggle is real, but so is their resolve. As Lecrae put it, "A righteous man falls seven times, but he gets back up."

Answering the Call in a Mainstream Moment

The pair’s visibility in mainstream spaces is no accident. Lecrae, often credited with bringing Christian hip-hop into broader recognition, sees his role as one of a trailblazer. "All I ever wanted was for us to have a voice," he said. "If I had to get beat up so others could walk through the door, it’s worth it."

That door opened wider after Lecrae’s name appeared in a Kendrick Lamar track—a moment that went viral. "People were hitting my phone all day," Lecrae said. Instead of seeking clout, he turned to prayer and responded with a record titled "Die for the Party," a lyrical reminder of self-sacrifice and spiritual focus. "If you're wondering what I'd do, I hope I’d trust God."

From Rolling Loud to Revival

After their history-making Rolling Loud set, Lecrae and Minnick knew they had an opportunity to amplify their message. The Get Well Soon project is that next step. "We believe the culture is sick," Minnick said. "This project is the medicine. The gospel is the antidote."

Their live shows are equally mission-driven. Minnick’s upcoming GLORY Festival in the Bay Area—dubbed the "Pray Area" by the artist—promises performances that blur the line between concert and revival. “We sold out the last three years,” Minnick shared. “This year we’re doubling it. It’s not the Bay anymore—it’s the Pray.”

Merch With a Message

Beyond music, the duo is embedding faith into fashion through their Christ Life Collection. Hats styled with familiar LA and SD logos now read “Wisdom” and “Christlike,” bridging urban aesthetic with spiritual messaging. Lecrae explained, “We wanted to take cultural symbols and infuse them with godly attributes. This is about making God visible in the culture.”

Even Lecrae’s son found inspiration in the merch and their mission. After seeing images of tatted-up believers, the younger Moore declared he wanted to be "a light in a dark place."

Christian Creativity at a Crossroads

The cultural moment feels especially ripe. Lecrae and Minnick see Christian hip-hop evolving into what they call "the new mainstream." Whether it's collabs with gospel giants like Maverick City Music or forging their own sonic blend of worship and rap, they’re proving faith and musical excellence aren’t mutually exclusive. Minnick declared, “I believe we have the new 'California Love' on this album,” referencing a record with Lecrae and E-40 called "The Method."

Purpose Over Popularity

Their message to struggling fans is as heartfelt as it is urgent. Lecrae put it plainly: "You were made with purpose. If you woke up this morning, that’s all the evidence you need that God’s not done with you." He continued, “God gave you a Ferrari and you’re treating it like a bicycle. Choose this day.”

This commitment to elevating others is seen in the duo’s inclusive approach. “We want everybody to pull up—no judgment,” Minnick said. Whether you're Catholic, former gang member, or just spiritually curious, the door is open.

The Movement Marches On

With their eyes set on global impact, Lecrae and Miles Minnick are leading more than a musical moment—they’re steering a movement. Their blend of raw testimony, cultural fluency, and unshakeable faith makes Get Well Soon not just an album but a spiritual wake-up call.
