@@brodystevenson3478 I am a catholic and to me NF is the perfect "christian" artist. Too many artists make it feel like they are shoving their religion down your throat and Nate finds a way to include it while still making it able to be digested and understood and even relatable to people who don't have the same beliefs as him. Bro is incredible
Important context for this song: He was marketed as a Christian rapper when Mansion was released and he caught a lot of flack for the dark content from parents, critics, pastors, etc. This song is him clarifying why his songs are the way they are and correcting his image. This was the point where NF really starting to step into his own music.
I believe there's a lot of people especially teenagers that don't or won't listen to " Christian" music but they listen to NF because they can relate to him and his struggles and not feel so alone. I've read a lot if comments on how it helped them get out if a dark place or even hurt themselves I think that's great!
that was definitely me, i found him at 14-15 and it was life changing, my mom definitely didnt like me listening to him but i think he was a great influence in my life, even all these years later
I was raised Christian. But lost my faith for a while… Nate brought me back to Christianity. His authenticity speaks volumes to me. And I’m an adult and will always prefer the transparency.
Thank you for praying for Nate (NF) - He needs all the prayers he can get! He's greatly influenced my own and my (now adult) daughter's lives. After Mansion and Therapy Session, my daughter stopped cutting and got counseling. She is thriving now
Kids crave honest connections and sometimes they can’t have that with their parents because their parents are not emotionally mature enough to accept that their actions caused their children pain.
Being a counselor who is Christian myself, it refreshing to hear these healthy discussions. Judgement and avoidance of these tough subjects is exactly what drives some to isolate themselves from others who they fear will not understand what they are going through. Look forward to catching up and watching the rest of these videos.
He doesn't want the label Christian rapper because thats not necessarily the group he makes music for and doesn't want to alienate people who didn't grow up in a solid home
Love these reactions, if you’re interested in hearing the whole album, I would be interested in watching your reactions to any or all of the songs. It’s ok to take your time with this journey, but it’s ok to binge it on your own as well! Keep up the good work fellas!
NF has saved lives. He shows damaged people can grow and change. Just because you are Christian you are not always perfect. So true! He truth speaks to everyone.

Hope you can do these!!! New sub!
Ahhh a musician fellow! (When JP mentioned minor, I just knew haha. You speak my language!) I don't think his music is "dark"- it's real/true. I don't see dark. Dark is macabre themes, I think. He's simply a true, honest artist. "Raw" is a word I'd attribute to that album.
i love the comment you said, that people want to be honest without being punished. They can be honest in the moments they listen to NF music, and that, for some, is the only time they can get a sliver of that feeling. This was neat seeing kind of the crossover between two worlds.
If you watch the music video (not sure if you have already) it gives more context to the words. especially regarding the parents and the masks. Parents often times don't want to address what their children are going through and want people to see the perfect family and that everything is fine (wear a mask).
Such a talented artist....my fave all time NF song. Very fun that you guys are doing this. You HAVE to review his Moments album, especially for this channel.......soooooo good. BEST artist on the planet
NF's music is not dark, it's "uncomfortable", because it causes people to self-examine in ways that they probably typically don't want to. It's why he says "NF REAL MUSIC"...and it's the way it should be.
Hes a Christian and believe but he doesn't call himself a Christian rapper, hes just a rapper! Im Christian and a Huge fan since 2015, but he's helped me so much, get through a lot and i listen to him everyday because I feel lonely even though im not the Only one, he wrote song called, Only and Just Like You!!
Had a girl that rode my bus in highschool that i saw almost as a little sister and she told me that her step dad would hit her mom and to this day i regret not going to her house and putting a stop to it permanently i know that the way i would have solved it wouldnt have been very Christian but i really dont care any man that decides to put his hands on a woman deserves whatever he gets in the end
What gives the Dark vibe is the soundtrack and the mood of the song. But, yeah, it´s a really honest and transparent song more than anything, NF venting what he is going on and giving the point of his music.
" grace, mercy, love, and a lot of space" Thank you for saying that. Truly, deeply, from me. I am a person who would "need" or deeply desire that "space" addition in a prayer.. I am now going to add on to my prayers for others the space they need. Because honestly, good things come to those who wait. And I am the epitome of patience and waiting around for a "hello," nod, or "thank you." I don't do my deeds for my thanks but if an eventual thank you comes my way, I feel re invigorated to continue on.
This is great! Really appreciate this space that you are speaking into! Music is so massive for me, helps me so much in my life and your thoughts on these songs are great! 🙏
This channel has now become my favourite TH-cam channel and as someone who wants to join the church and has wanted to for years but hasn't done because the people around me will judge me and bring me down for my beliefs this channel is my escape from my reality and I can't thank you all enough for bless you for helping me throughout my torment 🙏
I was a Christian and became atheist at 8 after being punished at sunday school for asking questions they didn't want to answer or the answer didn't make sense so i asked another question, i genuinely wanted an answer as was confused. They got angry, said i was disruptive and put me outside for 10 minutes. So i walked home 3 miles across the fields and never went back. I used to go talk to God in the village church and i love churches but only when they are empty. I believe in divine energy or source now after learning to channel Reiki. Rei- God or devine Ki- life force It opened me back up to believing and knowing I was loved regardless of my bitter and resentful rejection. I have trust issues, though learnt to trust me via divine guidance now 💜🙏💜 NF spoke my life into words and mine was 30 years before i let any light back in. I listen to hope at least once a week. Bllessings to you and yours. I'm 51 and NF resonates to my core, got all but 1 album and deeply appreciate his raw honesty and bravery to share his life journal. He became the light in the isolated darkness for so many in his darkest lowest time and it must feel such a pressure. Especially when he felt he was not enough. His to mother songs are deeply emotive and night and day in emotion though both are raw and hobest. The change in his voice. The ending of the first is as it happened, i cried so hard and choking again at the memory. I suggest you dual those songs so you are uplifted by the 2nd more healed one. Kind Regards Sue 💜🙏💜 I appreciate your perception and explanation. You appear to have the honesty my sunday school didn't.
NF said he a rapper who is Christian, he gave a perfect example of that, he said if a plumber who is Christian does that make him a Christian plumber
I'm an atheist and I've never connected with someone's music more. I think that says enough
I'm also atheist. Atheist buddies 😁 NF is my favorite. Ive listened to all his songs.

Well said
Man NF helped me in one of the darkest times of my life. He’s extremely real and raw with his music.
100% saved my life at the lowest I've ever been.

That’s because its not Christian music. It’s just music and he is a Christian.
I was raised Christian. But lost my faith for a while… Nate brought me back to Christianity. His authenticity speaks volumes to me. And I’m an adult and will always prefer the transparency.

I believe NF has said, or maybe it was just said ABOUT him, he is a Christian who raps, not a Christian rapper.
He doesn't want the label Christian rapper because thats not necessarily the group he makes music for and doesn't want to alienate people who didn't grow up in a solid home
I think its "Christian is not the definition of a perfect me!"
I know I seen that I’m not sure how he misread that especially if he said the lyrics
"Christian, is not the definition of what perfect means" but I used to think he was saying "a perfect me" too.
Love these reactions, if you’re interested in hearing the whole album, I would be interested in watching your reactions to any or all of the songs. It’s ok to take your time with this journey, but it’s ok to binge it on your own as well! Keep up the good work fellas!

Tldr - he's not dark. He's "raw"
Haha. Real, in ascabbing way
(If you let it harm you? I guess.)
Only rapper who doesn't need to swear to be amazing.
I am 52 years old. This youngster has helped me!

NF is extremely good for Aspect his passion and helped me through the the tough things and stress
NF's music is not dark, it's "uncomfortable", because it causes people to self-examine in ways that they probably typically don't want to. It's why he says "NF REAL MUSIC"...and it's the way it should be.
It would be helpful if you reordered the playlist so that I could watch it in order instead of having to go backwards from the bottom of the playlist.
I feel like I need to find god in my life I'm 29 with a family and feel like there's a big part of my life missing
Hes a Christian and believe but he doesn't call himself a Christian rapper, hes just a rapper! Im Christian and a Huge fan since 2015, but he's helped me so much, get through a lot and i listen to him everyday because I feel lonely even though im not the Only one, he wrote song called, Only and Just Like You!!
This is the first time with ya'll. Great conversation.
If you did the full journey you would have caught that he has a number of faith based songs. Poor pastor is getting the cliff notes journey.
im not religious was not raised religious however i love NF and i love hearing people who live different lifestyles to me opinions on artist i love!!!
You guys are so refreshing. Thanks for these NF reactions.
I totally agree. Is not dark music when he’s just been honest. 🔥
Video is good, why not play it.
Why didnt you react to the music video? Youre just reacting to audio
one of the best videos in the world
Had a girl that rode my bus in highschool that i saw almost as a little sister and she told me that her step dad would hit her mom and to this day i regret not going to her house and putting a stop to it permanently i know that the way i would have solved it wouldnt have been very Christian but i really dont care any man that decides to put his hands on a woman deserves whatever he gets in the end
Drunk Again - Song House & Maria Ros
I wish y'all saw the video
What gives the Dark vibe is the soundtrack and the mood of the song. But, yeah, it´s a really honest and transparent song more than anything, NF venting what he is going on and giving the point of his music.
it's especially hard being by yourself in a room full of friends
Im not religious but for some reason i have a problem with the Pastor putting his phone on the bible lmao
Interesting perspective🤔
" grace, mercy, love, and a lot of space"
Thank you for saying that. Truly, deeply, from me. I am a person who would "need" or deeply desire that "space" addition in a prayer..

Listen to a song called start over. Its by FLAME featuring NF
This is great! Really appreciate this space that you are speaking into! Music is so massive for me, helps me so much in my life and your thoughts on these songs are great! 🙏
I like y'all videos but you should play the music video of the songs that have the them for better reactions.
This channel has now become my favourite TH-cam channel and as someone who wants to join the church and has wanted to for years but hasn't done because the people around me will judge me and bring me down for my beliefs this channel is my escape from my reality and I can't thank you all enough for bless you for helping me throughout my torment 🙏
The conversation of 9:00 is too real
Love the nf reactions. Yinz should do a reactions to mesus- christian't.
I’d love to see u both react to “I Am” by Theocracy
Pls you guys should do this more 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you Dalton for keeping that in! 😂

Ki- life force
It opened me back up to believing and knowing I was loved regardless of my bitter and resentful rejection.
