Anyone else still listening to Arrow in 2024?
of course
Me!
Yes ...June 2024!!!
I come here every time I feel lost...
That's exactly how I am feeling too
You and me both
Just did. Stay in there man.
Yup
I don't feel that way. :)
Andy mineo is by far the most underrated lyricist ever
My dad said the same thing
@@TheHappyHummy maybe he is ur dad then?
@@annuitcptis1447 lmao didn't see this yet this that's hilarious
I agree, he is extremely talented and so underrated
I agree!
This.... finest poetry I’ve ever heard from a Christian song . It explains all the doubt and growth. That religion is not RULES. Its relationship with God. Like any relationship you have ups and downs. Absolutely things will not be 100% clear. It’s a journey
What about nf 🤔🤔
It's a journey for sure and it can be painful but God never said it would be easy but the other side says do what I say and it's easy. Be strong people.
@@benjamincomedyz9695 what? He has nothing to do with this song haha
Amen! I believe in Christianity is a RELATIONSHIP with our salvation and religion is of Man! Woe to him who puts his trust in man and GOD ALMIGTHY! AMEN
@@benjamincomedyz9695 He's great as well. His songs reflect the ups and downs as well. This song gives me chills tho.
This song makes me cry every time I hear it. At the time-and even now... I’m wondering am I crazy?? Who in the world is feeling like me? I thought I was crazy for feeling how I was. As someone who is a Christian, it can be so hard to admit that you feel uninspired and lost. Arrow came out exactly when I needed to hear it. Thank you God for giving Andy the right words we needed to hear. 🙏🏼
I agree....
The opposite of faith ain’t doubt
It’s when I got it all figured out ✊🏾
Sony Guirand what does that mean?..what did he mean by that?
the opposite of faith is doubt its like people disregard what scripture says and just uphold Andy for every word. He's a good rapper but he's definitely not right on everything..
@ For His Glory - When Andy says "The opposite of faith aint doubt, it's when I've got it all figured out" he is emphasizing that just because you're questioning your personal faith doesn't mean you've stopped believing. Everyone has faith in something, whether it's faith in God or faith that there is no God. If you doubt your faith it doesn't mean you've stopped believing in it, it just means that you're in a period of questioning it. If I were to tell you all "I've got it all figured out" would you believe me? What would you do? You would probably mock me, question me, test me, and poke at the heavy selfish pride that I just made apparent. We are free to do the same with our faith and we ought to make use of that freedom when doubt comes because DOUBT DOES COME. Even now you are questioning Andy rather than just taking his word for it and that's totally good and beneficial! However, you can't just leave it at opposing him without figuring out why he said what he said or what he meant by it. Andy isn't one to write without hours of forethought and years of life experience so he is absolutely suitable for trusting as a pastor (though we should always still hold even good pastors to scripture and discern for ourselves). We shouldn't be so defensive just because he's getting more popular either of that's the case. His popularity doesn't mean he's a sell-out idol, but it could definitely mean that what he's saying holds weight. He devoted an entire album to talk about how he's not a superhuman, he's "just another rapper called to point y'all to the cross". I see it in my young-adults ministry all the time. When people outside the church question them during an outreach project about why they believe they get angry, confused, emotional, let down, and just feel beat up. My young Jesus followers are taken by surprise that someone would question their faith! Why? Because they've never questioned their own faith before! They have no idea how to navigate these conversations. It's utterly amazing what faith people will take on just because their parents believed in it or because it's culturally appropriate. Real faith is faith that has honestly and intentionally been sought out, tested, questioned, and proven as true as much as we could determine or as much as The Spirit has opened our eyes to. Abraham in Genesis didn't just take Issac to the mountain for sacrifice with blind faith, whatever that is. Scripture tells us that Abraham thought about how God had previously followed through on His promises to Abraham and so Abraham knew he could trust God and His ability to still give Abraham a son by which Abraham's descendants would come because that was God's promise and scripture accounted this as "FAITH". Abraham thought that God would resurrect Isaac, but Abraham DIDN'T just agree to blindly slaughter his innocent son while ignorant to the purpose. He had reason to have faith in God and scripture approves of that thought through faith. I wouldn't place my entire life or my son's life on the line for something that wasn't true so I test my faith. I'm in such a close relationship with God now that even when I'm questioning Him I'm still talking with Him just like Job did. Faith isn't completely "well, I guess I'll just believe everything in this book since it seems to be good". Lions and pandas seem sweet and aesthetically attractive on the outside, but they sure will make a mess of your vital organs! Faith is more like "If this can't stand up to my questions then how can it stand up when I put my life into it? It can't be truth if it is false". God is true and God is good to answer our questions! We can't pretend to have it all figured out because that would make us more ignorant than smart as well as display our lack of honesty and integrity. I would be hard pressed to believe that someone can honestly and truthfully believe in God with their entire life and put Him on the throne of their heart if that person hasn't had a single question about God. We question everything that we love because the measure to which we know it is the measure to which we love it.
CityStrong that makes a lot of sense thank you so much for taking your time to explain everything you wrote
Thanks CityStrong
This is the most honest song any Christian artist ever put out. His lyrical genius is off the chart.
"Some days you're gettin all my trust,
Some days I can feel so empty,
Some days I feel like you love me, some days I feel like you left me."
Power right there.
bro i'm a new coming christian and the hardest part has been turning away from secular music. This just restored hope in my search that there's christian rap that isn't corny and gives you an immersive feeling.
Glad you’re making that choice! There’s lots of this kind of Christian rap out there. Keep searching! ✌🏻
Praise! Check out Bizzle and Shai Linne as well. The Lord used Christian Hip Hop to draw me to Himself years ago. I’m grateful for these brothas!
As a Christian I never saw the point of Christian rap. But now... I mean, this is hype. I actually love this. The drums and structure of the music, plus his sound almost has this hint of Khalid or somethin, but it’s like a unique individual kind of sound. I dig this I really do. Great work. God bless
PepperwoodPro reminds me of kanye type production with a mix of Logic and his own flow.
Adept oh the rapping segments absolutely. I agree with that. His singing though is what I was referring to more. But yea, great flow great sound
PepperwoodPro i get that
PepperwoodPro listen to Social Club Misfits & NF
i feel like the beat is definitely kanye inspired, as for flow and rapping, i feel like it’s unique. can’t really compare it to any other rapper i know of. i don’t hear any logic influence lol but maybe thats just me
After fighting in my prayer closet, fasting, reading like crazy for months and falling into a clinical depression and getting diagnosed with GAD . . . Can’t lie super jaded. Devil is a liar. This walk is mad cray. It’s all I have.
Same. I was humbled when my walk led to community help, medication and therapy. Hardest time of my life. This is all I have as well. We will over come!!! I pray you are doing better.
The amount of chills I got from the lyrics/dialogue. Wow.
I felt like this was me, the emotional build from 1 drum rack not even a kick in the beginning, he decides to just start spittin verses and let his beat evolve after, which you rarely ever see in this genre, and at the same time he continually breaks the 4th wall by letting us the audience know that it took him a long time to to the work on this song from a split personality that time travels same house alternate universes and they get lost creating music for over 7 years without ever talking to each other, stuck in what seems like an infinity loop the emotion pours into every beat every song....
I felt that he is wrong in many things.
Those chills aren’t from how good it sounds, those chills are from the holy spirit

Same here! Spirit definitely moving throughout
"The second i'm furious with God, I'm totally close...cause you cannot be furious with somebody who's not there" Word!
Siya Music true man true
No that just means he believes in God and is mad at him, which isn't exactly a good thing.
Siya Music what does it mean by God is not there?
Nate Johnson you reading it wrong
djdeuce00 he’s saying that when he gets mad at God he’s actually getting closer to him because he’s showing he believes in God since you can’t be mad at somebody who isn’t there
I keep coming back to this song.
It resonates so much.
God wants our brutal honesty and open communication, even if it's bitter and broken. The very fact that we are reaching for Him is enough.
Just keep reaching.
His salvation is close at hand.
-lifelong doubter
Such a talented lyricist. Notice the symmetrical line “Do I believe? Believe I do.” The musical production and video art combined with Andy’s honesty and swag make this track such a banger.
"The second I'm furious with God I am tumbling close because you cannot be furious with somebody who is not there" Dang.
The authenticity of the words translates to many Christians daily walk out there. That's why this song resonates strongly. We all have questions for the lord for our clarity. Keep seeking saints.
Finally someone who gets it it and doesn't have these random Cringe I holly comments around here
This song played often while I was still figuring out who I was in Christ and spoke to all my thoughts. Today I am a lot farther along in my walk with Jesus, but I still need this song from time to time to remind me I'm on the narrow road and it's not always easy. Thank you Andy.
Perfectly explained. Thanks for this comment.. it’s helping me right now, especially that last line. It’s narrow & will be hard, and that’s okay. Sigh.
Man's rejected is God's selected!
My God is good...at first i didnt understand the fog. I thought He'd left me alone i thought He was tired of my BS. Now i see that everything has a purpose especially the bad times like the fog. Thank you Lord because now more than ever i've learned to appreciate sunny skies and im NOT scared thru the fog anymore!
This video on mute is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥!!!! The words that pop up are even more powerful. It looks like he's drowning and can't get air. When he's "lost", the focus get hazy and the world goes red, until he prays (between "lost" and "found"). We need God constantly, just like we need to breathe air. Brilliant!!!!
Love how at 2:51-3:10 he shows himself away from the cross and in the dark he says he's lost and then when he walks back to the cross he says he's found. 🔥🔥🔥👍🏽👍🏽👌🏽👌🏽
Damn yo that gave me goosebumps and this feeling in my chest... Truly am lost if I don’t have Jesus
“There’s hella churches.... Still, hell is workin fine. Whats that tell us? Fellas hurtin” TRUTH
MrAmazing110 I don't get it!
@@sweetsalvation7143 I think it means the whole going to church thing for appearances sake doesn't mean anything. It's about your PERSONAL relationship with God and working through that relationship on a personal level.
@@melissamorton1655 👍
@@melissamorton1655 Nailed it :)
I can't wait until personal relationships with God is what we heart as sermons across the world.
This song is so encouraging (for me) because we realize how our closely our relationship with God relates to each other's.
(Don't know why I said that... It's for somebody out there...)
𝕕𝕖𝕖𝕡.
This song still goes hard. Will Smith said if you're a Christian than you can't have doubt...Andy Mineo told it like it is, straight Truth!
If songs could be food, today's current rap on the radio is refined sugar and this is a full course meal.
If this aint the best lyrics you've ever heard from a christian hiphop rap album...what is???! Andy is a legend. The emotions, the words played, beat, everything on point.
KB is better, but this is good too
I appreciate the honesty and authenticity on this EP and especially this song. Thank you for having the courage to express what many believers struggle with but not allowed to give voice to when trapped within the bubble of plastic Christianity.
💣
After my dad passed, I questioned everything, I ever thought I knew about God. I went through a period of darkness and even wanted to be an atheist. God proved Himself faithful even when I was faithless. This track speaks to that season of my life. #poetryinmotion #Godisgood
Jesus is the only Clarity we need. He is the only Hero we will ever Need!
"I want God to wrap me in the everlasting wings and say
"There there, it's alright"
And that cosmic affirmation of
"Yes, I know it's terrible, I know it hurts, but be patient, it's gonna work out" 😭😭😭❤️
This project hit me real hard. I love the talent, transparency, and openness, critics will critique, but those who’ve been through somethings will understand. Deep isn’t the word.
I use to listen to Andy and lecare about 6 years ago and I find myself back ... not looking for attention but I am happy to back in this community. I was lost but I’m slowly finding my way back - LorenZo Melendez
Sometimes brokenness brings you closer to God, because Andy is Back!!!!!
Wow, Andy is really showing the evolution as a musician, artist, and rapper on this song, that feeling of shaking chills when you listen to high-quality material and most special of all to bring God's word and hope somehow to a hopeless world. Bless Andy!
Yeah!
perfect. love this song
Dre Drexler hey didn’t know you were a Andy Mineo fan. Nice love your channel
awesome

Not really an inspiring song if you asked me
“I’m a person that’s tryin to believe I’m worth it. I’m workin through it but work is, well, work. But well worth it.”
I really feel that part
AMEN - Stay open to God's revelations for real....
PS at 2:25 bro you shining!!!!
Broooooooo...Thank you.. Finally someone i respect has gotten real with the bottom line of the spiritual warfare we are going through. Saluute!!
Righteous Reasons amen. and doubt, and fear..
Same
ya in "I: The Arrow; or, Doubt and The Search for Clarity" I appreciate how Andy says not a lot of people talk about their struggles openly while going through them, usually we talk about them when they're over and in the past tense. He goes on to say that we do that because we'll come off as vulnerable, weak (which we are apart from Christ!) and we think people will try to fix us. Hearing Andy be real about his struggles while going through them is why I have this song on repeat---often haha the beat is on point too. Anyways as I first read your comment about spiritual warfare, it reminded me about this music video except he compares our spiritual warfare to the analogy of us being in an airplane/rocketship, heading to a destination, but there are invisible powers in the air that want to shoot us down. It's called "Ready Aim" by Mali Music th-cam.com/video/Rlwrxh3L6qc/w-d-xo.html
This is one of the hardest songs he’s ever made. The lyrics, beat, concept everything blew me away. Love this man like a brother cause I’ve been through it too. 🙌🏽
On the first listen of this entire EP I was like, "Meh, it's ok....nice concept." After spending a week with it I'm like "Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez, this is pretty freaking awesome."
That's that smoke in the AIR!
Guess you can say you got clarity after listening to it!
I mean tru I had to listen to “...lost” to figure it out
"I can't tell if I lost my mind or just made it"......ahhhhhhh fireeeeee
I see you're still being transparent bro. I've been listening to your music since "Saturday Morning Cartoons" days. I see you're still growing, as we all should be. Continue to allow The Holy Spirit to guide you in your music as well as your life. You're giving us that good fruit, food for the soul. You've BEEN an inspiration to my journey whenever I listen to your tracks. Iron sharpens iron. God bless you on this walk and your family. Much love
Clarity comes with God's word, Our Alpha and Omega...
HE IS The Way the Truth and the life! Truth brings Clarity.
We cannot have Clarity without the Gospel of Truth ♡
Mrs. Contentment Amen
Mrs. Contentment Amen - It Aint as complicated as we make it - trust
Yes, learning comes with the Word but if you never doubt God which is part of our human nature then your faith can't go deeper. At the point of doubt, you will find you'll seek Him more or not at all.
Amen...He is The Light and darkness could not comprehend it.
This is true. Yet. In each soul there’s necessary process for it to go from knowledge to something more. Something that brings and sustains life.
I pray for God to bless us with clarity thru these foggy days! Open the eyes of our hearts Lord Jesus to see thru the muck and mud that smears our physical eyes! Help us remain faithful trusting and believing that all that surrounds eyes is your plan for a better world! We love you JESUS! #GodIsGood
That flair that forms a cross with the light poll is a stoke of genius
Did anyone else notice that the word "surrender" is written on the back of the lamp post? But it isn't visible until the second time the camera goes around the pole.
Nice eye! Also he's standing under the cross-shaped lamp post which is shining its light (clarity) towards him. Sort of meaning that to find clarity we have to surrender ourselves.

When the lady"s voice said the second i get ferious wit God im totaly close because how can not be ferious with someone who is not there"" remember God is not in the fiscal for God is a Spirit ..So you have to have a spiritual relationship with God to find the truth and know what he want form u in this life..Remember u saw that word "Surrender" in the Video..that that's the key to the finding the truth..Surrender to God and he will give u Clarity through all that Smoke in the AIR... peace ✌ God bless
Yep!!!!
I am really feeling this EP! My sons and I continue to support him. Keep pushing forward and allow your mind to stay on Jesus. 💥💥👏🏽👏🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Anthony Williams hello it music is evangélical / gospel ?
He snapped for the Lord 🙏🏾
This vid is simple but amazing. The pole is like the cross, once he moved away from it, the frame started to go out of focus and when he came back to the "cross" he gained clarity again! It also said surrender, surrender to God and things become clear. LOVE THIS! XD
Team Anamex! Genius!! Praise Him!🙌🏾
Who needs gangster rap when u got Andy mineo thank you brother. This hard
That's where the deception lies : you can still enjoy rap but with a touch of "Christianity "
@@sweetsalvation7143 You do realize the beautiful piano music that we hear in the most conservative churches used to be completely rejected by the church? Times change bud. Discretion is a powerful thing. Absolutes aren't, ironically.
100% authentic.... DOPE AS ALWAYS! ❤❤❤
Christian Hip Hop but the message isn't from scripture
@@sweetsalvation7143 huh
@@Ale2raw I don't have time to debate but have you been reading the Bible lately?
Getting real with our problems is great. Feeling all vulnerable before God is okay. His strength is made perfect in our weakness. Apostle Paul would rather boast in his weakness for therein is God's strength made perfect. I think as a church many have lost it because we are afraid to share our struggles with fellow believers to receive encouragement to go through the process. Everyone wants to appear as a "superman", having figured all of it out. The beauty of our walk with God is that it is very relational and as our Father, we can share how we truly feel (doubt, fear, anxiety, etc) and He is sure to remind us of His rich promises through His word and any other means He deems fit to build us up and grow in fellowship with/in Him.
My man killed it! With nothing more than a twilight sky and a parking lot streetlight! Blessings on Blessings on Blessings my brother!
Here with this song again in 2022. I just Lost my son in December to a wrong way intoxicated driver and my oldest son is recovering from severe injury and this song encouraged me today the same way it did the first time I heard it
I’m so sorry. 😭 praying for comfort for your entire family
wow, that's heavy..😭😭
This is one of the greatest Mineo tracks, also the lyrics are a thousand miles deep
Family?!?!?! What in the world is this I'm listening to?!? BOY!! YOU DID IT AGAIN! Wow! This is what happens when you're transparent and go thru the fire, instead of asking for it to be taken away.. wow. We love you out here in the 702. We look forward to seeing you again at the House of Blues. Stay in His pocket fam.. stay there.
Nice....So refreshing, Like looking out to sea and seeing someone swimming and not merely drowning with the rest of em.
🔥🔥Andy Mineo is staying true to himself!⭐👑💪💫🔥🔥
Otho Williams Jr. - AND God's truth and love! It's like, how much more honest could he be with God? Love it!!!
Quickest way to separate from God.

Otho Williams Jr. Truth, homey.
This beat is amazing 😍🔥
This record is such a win. I don't understand why this isn't mainstream...I mean good music is good music! I'm very thankful for Andy's openness. Sometimes articulating what I haven't really found the words to yet. May God keep anointing you in your career and ministry. God bless 🙏🏽
Your best work Andy. Thank you for this brother. 🔥
This is the song of the year.
I feel Andy's lyrics are the most relatable and accurate in all of Christian rap. Love this!
Cinematography + VFX + Production quality + Dope Lyrics... what can I say = God is Awesome!!!
When Andy talks about his life through music, I totally dig. I relate because this EP has given me a perspective of Faith that's real and raw. This song is among the songs that Andy has emptied his heart for God's Glory
So beautiful! Just a masterpiece.
Andy is a true genius, so creative and innovative artist! Love everything that he does in his amazing artistry!
Also Happy Birthday to Andy! 🎉🙌🏻 Much so deserved success to him, countless moments of joy and a full ocean of happiness! Always be healthy, king!
Thanks for making music with purpose 🙏🏼
Way to talk crap one everyone loves and works hard on there music
Guessing if it isn't "Christian" then they all must be bad right?
Just stop
Lyrics
Sometimes you can just be in a funk creatively or you know, as a person and it's like there's a fog around you and you can't see out of it, but, that's part of the journey
Hm, patient, this beat done took its time
Well, then so do I
Look, uninspired, undefined
Now somebody's gettin' fired
Terrified, paralyzed, Twitter game verified
Married life, very fire
Understand I'm on demand Undermanned, the Son of Man or Son of Sam Somewhere in between the two, the meaning too
Spend the evening, be with you
Oh I know, I need it too
Do I believe, believe I do
On my faith walk, took the cynic, I mean the scenic route Get lost, I be aloof, Adidas on, still need the boost
What was the Eden fruit? I'll ask Him when I see Him
Daily bread, that's per diem, but I'm fastin' like a BM
Ridin' past ya in the P.M. in a stolen car, that's fleein' from the scene of a crime
Apollo Creed, in his prime Rocky verses, I'm a person that's tryna believe I'm worth it
I'm workin' through it, but work is, well, work, but well worth it
It's hella churches still hell is workin' fine
What's that tell us, fellas hurtin', it's like melanin a crime
That's the elephant we hide
Truthfully, we probably lied
Rather have a tribe than unity, so you and me divide
I'm hellish and divine
I'm trellis and the vine
I'm tellin' me, "I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm, I know better"
All I, all I want is clarity, clarity
'Cause all of my heroes are frauds just like me, just like me
So let every man be a liar, let only God be truth
And all of your heroes are frauds just like you
I can't see through that smoke in the air
That's the smoke in the air
That's that smoke in the air
All that smoke in the air
The value of doubt is to keep you open to God's revelations
If you don't doubt, you don't change
If you have to have finite answers to infinite questions
Uh, you're not gonna move
Yeah, built my life on this (huh)
Half my adult life unlearnin'
Lies that I heard in a dumb sermon
What I unearth got me uncertain
More knowledge and more sorrow
Worryin' that never fixed tomorrow
Just take away all my strength today
It was black and white, not paved with gray
Maybe that cloud that I've been stuck in
I construct it, I conduct it
Orchestra of noise, I don't hate your voice
I done made a choice, mic assumption
A TV, tablet, tweetin', twerkin', grammin', gamin', rappin', workin'
Fashion workin', workin', workin', workin', workin', workin'
Can't tell if (lost)
My mind or just made it (lost)
My faith or misplaced it (lost)
My pain or upgraded
Lost my happy thought, then I got jaded (lost)
Focus in my direction (lost)
In details and perfection (lost)
All my faith in white Jesus and my leaders (found)
They weren't who I thought all these years (found)
They weren't even worthy of tears (found)
The opposite of faith ain't doubt
It's when I get it all figured out
Some days it get in all my trust
Some days I can feel so empty
Some days I feel like You love me
Some days I feel like You left me
The second I'm furious with God, I'm tumbling close
Because you cannot be furious with somebody who's not there
All I, all I want is clarity, clarity
'Cause all of my heroes are frauds just like me, just like me
So let every man be a liar, let only God be truth
And all of your heroes are frauds just like you
I can't see through that smoke in the air
That's the smoke in the air
That's that smoke in the air
All that smoke in the air
Through that smoke in the air
That's the smoke in the air
That's that smoke in the air
All that smoke in the air
I want God to wrap me in the everlasting wings and say
"There there, it's alright"
And that cosmic affirmation of
"Yes, I know it's terrible, I know it hurts, but be patient, it's gonna work out
I'm not gonna lose, I'm gonna win, it's alright."
And that's the, the, the basic affirmation that I think only true doubters can come to
Not all heroes wear capes. 🙇
Hollman Perez right on man🔥
Thanks 🙌🏾
thank you
Thanks!
In these crazy times when there is so much smoke and mirrors, people getting fired, friendships lost, marriages dying, children so lost, everything is being unveiled. Your character and faith will be tested, but who will you become? Always loved this song and how much Andy has grown #116
I feel like this is such an underrated piece of work. Hope it gets the light it deserves!
Agreed!
I just got this album tattooed on me and I would not be the man I am today without your music Andy. Thank you
There u go. I need mine but I'll wait till I'm 18
This is awesome man !!!
This is exactly what I needed right now. Thank you, God.
I thank God....that he used Andy to make this song!!! This helped me through my suicidal thoughts!!!! God bless you, Andy!
"I'm a person that's trying to believe I'm worth it. I'm working through it but work is well, work. But well worth it." You are worth it! Jesus spilled his blood for you so you don't have to!
This track is perfection: harmony, content, structure, mixing, poetic, lyrical creativity - 2tally out of the 📦
Andy never disappoints 🔥🔥
Man this song is beyond deep yo. Addresses so many questions christians may be too shy to pass across to the church and concludes ultimately that God knows it all.
Do I believe... I believe I do... that one gets me
Same- I believe everyone has some kind of doubt in their journey but God can restore hope and strengthen our faith :)
Andy, i feel you. On a deep level.. i wish we could talk.
How can a video concept be so simple yet so beautifully layered? Never realized it but this is a masterpiece.
"theres hella churches, but still hell is working fine"
I feel like this one line, has so much depth and different meanings too it.
This song would have been very helpful to hear on my transition to deconversion. Andy was always one of my favorite Christian artists and hearing him make a song about how doubting is necessary to find truth and how it's not fun, but a necessary process, would have comforted me.
(Also I'm just here to appreciate the music, please don't make your replies about my own faith or lack thereof. I'm not open to advice from randos on TH-cam. Just sharing my thoughts.)
Well said Mr. Mineo and many of us can relate so thank you!!!
Love this track is so deep not sure everybody will get the Deep message but every time I listen to it I get more of a message. Great song
Yeah man i can relate to him right now. Ive asked God to reveal to me what God wants me to do. "All I want is clarity"
Love how the camera loses focus when he’s expresses how lost he is.
Thank you, Andy Mineo! May God bless you more!
GOD is ALWAYS GOOD. Even though you felt he deserted you. He leave you when you need him the most. Growning pains makes you grow.Have trusts in GOD plan. Just letting you know GOD is always there, Never left you.
Clear the cloud you created , clean your ear from negative thought; you feel more ,you see more & YOU know.
One of your best songs🙌
Andy is def the most creative person from Reach in my opinion. love it!
Growing Disciple I think it might be Aha, but he's only been there for a bit so not sure how fair that is. Andy is mad creative though.
Totally agree!
Aha isn't with reach anymore but also my opinion kb and Andy are the most creative but then I would say trip lee but he hasn't came out with new stuff
Loved the visuals to this. Really didn't know what to expect tbh.
"Hear my Heart" drove me through the a lot of the earlier stages when I was born again. Having understood "Grace" as my big sister that I didn't pay attention to when I was soaking in sin, really opened my eyes. Andy, you've helped many people in their faith whether you know it or not. If I never would have stumbled across your song, Lord knows where I would have been. Thank you for this record, it brought clarity to self just as much as I pray it did for you. God bless
I like that, never thought of this. "The opposite of faith is not doubt, but when I've got it all figured out." That's a very interesting way of looking at it. And also, very true.
That’s that smoke in the
AAAAAIIIIIIIIRRRRRRR
the lyric game on this song soo strong!!!! 🔥🔥💪
Literally BARS!!!!!!!!
This video, and song deserves an award for creativity, structure, and design. Simplicity in the cross.

No words can describe how amazing and powerful this is. Andy, thank you. I can't remember if you did this song at Baltimore back in October of 2017, but I remember "I Ain't Done". I was so stoked for this album, and now that it's out, I'm happy that it's here. Mr. Mineo, thank you for being a great influence and just for the awesome music and great stuff you put out. God Bless ✌
Makes me remember the Andy Mineo who kept me thinking about faith in so many ways. He is evolved but the core is showing out. Now I can catch up blood
This song got me through the some of the toughest times of my life... *rain, cold, despair, pain* All I remember is these words having an incredible power to help me cope with it and overcome.
