“In the beginning was the Word...” It’s ok to start at the beginning. He’s there too.
(John 1:1-5)
Monique Norris I know this was 8 months ago but this comment made me cry. I really needed to read it. Thank you.
That’s a GREAT analogy
We all go through valleys and have doubts at some point. Just trust in God and say get behind me Satan! He has no control over us, not yesterday, today, tomorrow or in the future. NOT TODAY SATAN! Jesus reigns!
chipotlelover82 NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NOT TODAY SATAN
Truly inspiring video. "Respect your opinion." This video provided more clarity for me. As long your opinion about yourself, your talents or your giftings aligns with God and His purpose for you. No other opinions contrary to that matters. Walk by Faith Not By Sight. 2 Corinthians 5:7 is my anchor right now in this transition in my life. My two or three cents.
chipotlelover82 don't forget to say it in Jesus name.
Legit tuber1414 Oh you already know this!
not today satan!!!!!!!!!!!
All i can say is......thank you for your honesty Andy
I’m not crying.... alright I’m crying. I needed this, this music is therapy to me.
Victoria Johnston NF?
Mattheson Go glad someone got it lol
Victoria Johnston also fight for me th-cam.com/video/tjhIXYfk2Yg/w-d-xo.html
When I read this automatically came the NF voice in my mind hahaha
I agree . His lyrics really hits home to me
This is real. Praying for you on this journey man, life is a never ending cycle of us figuring out ourselves and what we were put here to do. Our gifts are our greatest treasures from God, and I hope you can embrace the accomplishments. Your best years are never behind you, they just reflect how far you've come. Thanks for being transparent. God bless.🤘
Love hearing this. Met Andy in Memphis told him I been praying for him. Big fan of yours as well. Keep up your work bro...all love
Christopher Stocks I appreciate that bro. All love.
Omg. This is exactly what I’ve been going through. Going through a season of doubt when other people look up to me as a worship leader and youth leader. It feels like you’re a fraud. Thanks for sharing this
Iris Bonet Me too... Its super difficult...
Iris Bonet the feeling of fraud is the devil. Your everything God wants you to be and growing. We need you. Keep going
Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding. It is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self. Therefore, trust the physician and drink his remedy in silence and tranquility. Your faith will restore you.
Iris Bonet I know this was so good glory too God! These will be the seasons that will be inbbided in us know God as the God of the anchor of our souls 💕
Iris Bonet woah girl same here.
Man, you just spoke my heart! I’ve been depressed for so long questioning everything I believe, asking myself why is it that if I already have God (who is everything) why am I still depressed!?
That track Clarity hit home for me man!
I needed this, I've been going through this same thing. It's good to know I'm not alone
The news at the end thou WHOOOA WHOOO!!!
God bless you guys I always wonder how Lecrae went through a bad time for months but I am have been struggling for years, from the bottom of my heart I know GOD IS A BIG GOD, He will see me through me like He did for him and Andy mineo. amen
Watching all the way from Africa, South West Africa. NAMIBIA 🔥🔥🔥

Yuhhhhhh🔥
Ayeee🔥

Who cares?
the EP is just amazing man. this is the type of music that got me into CHH!!
cant wait for the rest of the album!!
KyleNoelMusic when!?!
the video says Andy's dropping EP's all throughout the year and will cap the story off with a full album by the end of it all
One of the most honest perspectives I’ve seen from an artist. I battle with depression and this helped me.
Too relatable, very well put and explained.
Many of us go through the same doubts, you're never alone. This reminds me of the song even if by MercyMe
I didn't know who's music I was listening to until today. After listening to Clarity in a moment of doubt, this all came to speak to my spirit. The Lord looks after those who seek his truth. Praise Him.
This that “Honest 2 God” level of real. I love it.
Kris Uy my fave song since before i heard his new ep
Ulysses Escobar samee fam
Thank you so much for sharing Andy. I feel like I've been trapped in a dark cave for years now due to anxiety. You're a huge inspiration my man, we're all human.
Andy this is my favorite release of yours that I've ever heard. So real and encouraging, keep it up bro!
God bless you, Andy. This really brought to light some of my own faults and struggles, and was a bit of a conviction of myself in how I act, especially now in a season where I've come out of the valley. Thank you for your vulnerability and your willingness to share in your doubts and fears. Thank You, God, for people willing to encourage others and boast in their weakness.
I APPRECIATE your transparency man!
We've all had doubts at some point in our walk. Just gotta let it push you closer to Jesus. He's faithful when we're faithless, and that's real. If you're His... You're His period.
Chance Gaming Media God is Great and wonderful..:)
I went through depression and Andy mineo music help me
I thought Andy hit his creative peak but this is next level!!! Might be my favorite out of all of Andy’s stuff
This is why he's my favorite rapper... Love his transparency. Perfect graduation gift. Thanks, God, for Andy.
This album will be an album that symbolizes maturity and a change of POV from the past albums. It is an transition unraveling. Very unique
I relate to the beginning when he says he doesn't recognize his accomplishments and internalize them for the beauty they are. Very humble dude
This is andy year 🔥

Andy I can't wait or your next album to drop, you always comin' with the most inspiring lyrics out there🙏🏻 keep it coming my man.
oh man is this me? going through my own season of intense doubt right now and not sure if I will lose faith or what will happen.
The Lord is so great. I am falling apart at the seams but I know He has the needle and thread in His hands. LORD JESUSSS. I was really just having so much anxiety and couldn't feel God at all. I tried reading the Bible didn't know what to read.. anyway long story short, I came on TH-cam. And this story popped up on my feed. I contemplated what I needex at the moment, like I said I wasn't thinking rationally. But I decided on this video in the end. And this video describes the words I could not find for myself. Thank you Andy Mineo and thank you Jesus Lord of all who makes all things work together for us. Everybody out there stay strong WE AINT DONE.
wow this made me realize so much about the season I'm going through rn. Thank you for always being transparent. I havn't been able to understand it and needed to know i wasn't the only one who's gone or is going through this. love the ep, can't wait for the rest. just know, you've impacted at least one person already today
Andy you have been there for me countless times with your music. Thank you.
Love you Andy, thanks for being a light to those who walk in the fog and need a little direction, your music has helped me thru this season of depression and doubt. God bless you man, always praying for ya
Lately I have been feeling down and I have had a lot of anxiety this week and this just encouraged me and I am so grateful thank you so much. Keep making that beautiful music don't let the enemy stop you.
I love your honesty!!!! Many people, like myself, feel or have felt this way but are not brave enough to admit it for fear of looking less than in other people’s estimations.
I started crying at this!! You're really so strong to be able to go through this kind of struggle and be open about it, letting us know your fears and doubts. I admire your struggle and I respect your art so much, Andy. Thank you thank you thank you for all that you do. I loved The Arrow and I really cannot wait for what is yet to come. Keep shining
thanks bro. i watched this when it came out, but watching it now that i am going through anxiety and feeling depressed, it means so much more to me. thank you for being an inspiration for me. im praying for you bro.
Thank you Andy for your honesty and vulnerability. It empowers me to be the same. It's more than music it's a lifestyle. Praying for him, his family and those around him.
Holy flip dude. EPs all year and an album. Andy keep powering through life! Appreciate your honesty
Thank you Andy, your testimony is beautiful. For as we all struggle there is a light and purpose when we open up and show our true selves!
This is a true testimony and is a blessing to hear and watch. I have followed Andy Mineo for years and have enjoyed his creativity and music. You have come a long way from where you have come from. You've been an inspiration to me and have made an impact on my life. and I thank you for that AM. God got you and He always will. Strive to keep fighting and seeking the truth. Much love and respect.
I’m so excited that you shared this!! I can’t even begin to say thank you for being real! I’m told often that if I share my struggle that no one will want to do business with me. No one wants to be around negative people. I get you can share in a way that’s not too dark but sometimes it’s just where you are. This is my favorite!! Can’t wait to buy the new song!!!
This is speaking so much life into me right now.. glad to know I’m not the only person/artist experiencing anxiety, depression, doubt, etc. I know God will bring us out the valley.. but walking through it is difficult. Salute to you Andy! For being transparent and real! Salute 🤟🏽♥️💯
Praying for your Andy! As a fan I'mm proud of your courage to share this part of your story. The realness isn't just great for the music, but also for the soul of the one making it! Stay up!
Thank you for your openness. I feel like I'm not alone now brother, and neither are you. Love you Andy, thanks.
We all go through this and your your music is part of my daily routine. You Can't Stop Me helps me overcome that doubt and the battle that we face every day!! God bless you and thank you for your honesty!! 🙏🙏🙏
The realness and transparency! I can't wait! Thank you Andy! I already know I will be blessed.
Love that transparency and authenticity bro! That realness is massive for those watching and walking in their own faith. God is going to keep working through you even until your last days. God bless Andy
Thank you for being so transparent and sharing this.
back to back Back to FREAKING BACK
LET'S GO BEEN WAITING TO HEAR THAT FOREVER
Tremendous appreciation for his honesty about the struggle he's going through. There's something comforting about how he's transparent and honest enough to say "I might be wrong about this whole thing I'm representing". Can't wait to hear more of the stuff he's going to share.
I love love love the story of your clarity process!! thank you for sharing this through your art!! I am beyond blessed!
Shout-out to Andy. Thanks for your music man. You inspire me to be honest and true about who I am and to not be ashamed about it. I'm glad that you have the courage to express when you are struggling with doubt. Your honesty reminds me that we are all brothers and sisters struggling together to be open to the change God wants to effect in us. Your music has been giving me peace while I'm going through a big transition in my life right now. Listen to your music everyday. God bless you man. I'll be praying for you brother. Peace.
Well you succeeded cause I thought I was alone in my experiences with anxiety, hearing that song changed a lot for me. Thank you Andy, I’ve been fighting panic attacks for the past year, paralyzed with fear, no sleep, just my loud thoughts. Your music turns down that noise but not only that, it makes me face my fears and grow stronger. Thank you Andy
So powerful GOD will use this to birth things in all believers!!! That's my prayer.....thanks Andy!!
Andy words can’t describe how important this video has been to my life. I never comment on videos, but the amount of times I have watched this and gotten emotional is insane. You gotten me through so much. Thank you. As you can tell I still go back to it even after it being over 3 years ago. I know you’ll probably never see this, but again, thank you.
I love your vulnerability and realness here! May you continue to cling to Him!
Nice nice nice! Love the honesty and openess on this one.
Way to go, man. Absolutely love the ideas of releasing the EP's unfolding the story then concluding with the album. Thanks for all your hard work. You're an inspiration.
Love this level of vulnerability. God bless you Andy Mineo. Your music means a lot to me.
We all go through things, as believers our biggest struggle sometimes is keeping GOD as our muse, that he inspired us then and will again because its his mission we serve. We find value in that service, we find royalty status in how great we are because he is so great and mighty and we are his image bearers.
I appreciate your transparency. It's good to know I'm not alone. Thank you
THANK YOU for this. so true, what you say, that most people talk about struggle when its OVER, not during. and yes, people don't open up about insecurity because they know people will try to fix it for them. great stuff here.
Andy If you see this I just want to say thank you. I thank God for the blessing you are. I am also struggling with my faith and I happened to stumble on this. And it’s a truth I needed to hear. So you thank You Andy. You’re in my Top 5 greatest rappers ever
This is a right on time message for me! Due to my health failing my faith has been failing as well! I want to thank you Andy for being so transparent! We have to take one day at a time!
Bro... I'm fighting tears right now.. I'm going through a lot of the same thing you're talking about when it comes to respecting everyone's opinion but your own, and even doubting God, and everything you said just spoke volumes to me. You said if your music lets one person know that they're not alone, then you feel like you succeeded. You just let me know that I'm not alone bro, you definitely succeeded. Thank you so much for this man
Got the EP today, Andy it's amazing. Thanks for sharing your heart with us. As believers, there will be times when we are in the valley, but with the Love of God, family and good friend we can overcome. It's an ongoing possess.
Thank you for your honesty Andy. The thing I got out of hearing this is faith hope and love. I needed to hear it 🙏
Respect Your Opinion.... Especially If God Gave it To You. Be Encouraged Andy
😔
🙏🏿
Thanks for being real. Really resonate and am blessed by you sharing your story. Sucks to go through--but, if it gets you to the real you--then worth it. Abba's blessings on the journey
Yo Andy thank you 🙏🏽. You the reason i started listening to CHH. My kids love your style and flow. Your talent is something that sparks ⚡️ my kids interest and ideas to do better and be better. Not only when ppl watch but when no one is looking.
Love Andy and everything he does, I can relate to this Arrow EP because I have struggled with depression and anxiety my whole life. Blessings bro, Gods got us!
This the very reason Andy is My favorite Artist! Love his authenticity on very Album! Most believers are afraid to be real about there life. But understand being open and honest about yourself to God and other gives me this humbleness and freedom I can't explain...and at the sametime making me bold to proclaim God's truth. I refuse to spend the rest of my life wearing a mask! Glory to the most High ☝!
This brightened my day (in the midst of my struggle). Thank you for the sincerity, the dope rhymes, and thoughtfulness.
The TOUGHEST thing is to finally understand that what James said in 1:2-4
"2) Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3) because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4) Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything."
That when we have the opposition in our walk that we remember to continue to FIGHT for our SOUL' s SALVATION...continually. I face these same things. And there are situations/struggles that I HAVE overcame...but we talk about it in the past tense because that is part of the OLD SKIN we shed as we die or rather TRY to die (flesh/world influences/old mindsets that hinder our walk and faith) in Christ.
God is there to walk with us on ANY and all roads we choose to take. Whether it's choosing to do right...or conscientiously choosing to do wrong. He is there. Psalms 139:1-12 (NIV) is such a good description of the DEPTHS of how God loves us. (7-Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? 8- IF I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in depths, you are there.....11-IF I say "Surely the darkness will hide me and the light becomes night around me," 12-even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.")
Even Romans 14:7-9: For none of us lives to himself alone, and none of us dies to himself alone. If we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. For this reason Christ died and returned to life, so that He might be the Lord of both the dead and the living..."
AND I say all of THAT to say this...KEEP fighting. You are not a fraud. (THIS IS FOR ANYONE)...your life and LIGHT that you have that Christ imparted into you, is not gone because of your mistakes or your own ideals or ANYTHING you may have done. The son of God came to seek those who were lost. (Luke 19:10) And even if you are lost in your OWN mind( like me) Christ is there to help you muddle through and remove the confusion that may sit in your mind, that can lead to a disruption of peace and a doubt in who God is to you. But, this only happens if you let Him. There is nothing belittling or wrong with rededicating your life and renewing purposes and goals. Andy did just that, and most people, especially in his situation or platform, would not be bold enough to open up and be transparent about it. We can all take a lesson. It's never too late to start over and get a FRESH and STURDY foundation in Christ! Sorry for this being so long. But it was on my heart. And if this may touch someone to search yourself...to God be the glory...
Man it’s a breath of fresh air to hear someone speak your own thoughts, specifically about doubt and God, not gonna lie felt like I was in quick sand for sometime an I don’t feel like I’m entirely out of it, but for a Christian it’s hard to admit you have doubts especially for me cause I have family that looks up to me and I never wanna lead anyone astray. Especially when you conceptualize things differently it’s like I don’t have anyone to talk to, cause I don’t think anyone close to me will even understand or if they did wouldn’t have any answer , I just keep telling myself proverbs: 5-6 , I struggle with 6 mostly, hoping grace will pull me through.
I love how real he is.He just shares all that he feels.Most of us have trouble doing that.
THIS THAT REAL RIGHT THERE. DOPE.
I just want to say: Wonderful, amazing worship service.
It's bout to be lit
It is.
im so excited for these eps. the arrow is a straight masterpiece. Andy, you are such a blessing. thank you so much for your work.
2:54-3:48 Thank you Andy Mineo for saying that! You hit the nail on the head for me and probably everyone if they are really honest with themselves. Here's to taking it step by step.
Wow thnks Andy I've been going through a life crisis concerning christianity and realizing a lot f error within the faith and having to rethink a lot of traditions.....its been tough, I thank God for you being transparent Stay blessed
Wow! i have been feeling the same way as a believer and Musician for God this year, it makes me think that something Big is coming for us believers, God is with us and his mighty Archangels, we shall overcome all things, we are not alone, we are his diamonds in the Rough, Never Give up, He is coming back soon!, Blessings yall !
Wow I’m so glad to have found your music. You are such a light. So full of flavor. 🤩
Yassssssssssssss I'm here for this!👏👏👏🙌🙏☝💪 you're reaching so many of us with these clips. I'm shouting, I AIN'T DONE AS LONGS AS THERE'S BREATH IN MY LUNGS🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Andy is one of the few I look up to. I can relate to this so much. I question so much about myself. Like why am I still sober 8.5 years struggling at times with other areas in life.
Love the rawness of this thank you for keeping it 200 % real Andy God bless.
The first time I heard one of Andys' tracks, I thought to myself...I am a fan, this man is talented; no doubt! I still appreciate his flava and the fact that he is a Christian, he's sharing his faith....respect. Thank you for sharing your heart.. never stop!
I thank God for the work you do Andy! Thank you for your vulnerability and passion. God is doing great things through you brother! Keep letting him do it. Praying for you!

I love your transparency in this video. You're speaking the truth brotha. God bless you
Stay strong bro...we’re praying for you. Thanks for the message!
Andy...
Big sis @ 57 saying bruh.,
you don't even begin to understand how far reaching & empowering the gift is. I bump your joints often, not even a hip hop fan per se, but Praise God, when I feel the need to go hard, I know where to pull from. You are loved, stay in Him & hang tough through back side of the desert & all seasons, all things. I know that pain, that suffering, place well, press through. PRAYERS✨
Andy, you have encouraged so many along your journey this is a path that only you could walk. God is a god of peace it’s in his name, he sometimes takes us through the valleys so that we learn to rely fully on him. Your not done until God says so. God has given you such an amazing calling. I can’t imagine how much God must adore and love your music I can just hear him say like a proud father, “ I created that, those talents and gifts I gave to him.” You worship God in spirit and truth, that’s why your music means so much to so many cuz it’s honest and deep and you bring and invite us into that body of worship with you. Don’t stop, don’t quit, press in...
Just got chills watching this. Incredible.
Andy... Thank you for being vulnerable. I have vibed with your music since I was a new Christian and I really was able to relate to your lyrics, your struggles, etc.
Now I've been a follower of Christ for years and I've been facing doubts, very heavy. Then you dropped Honest to God and yet again I rememberd and realized I'm not alone. Thank you for this video...
