Explore the controversy surrounding the performance of Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us" in churches. Does the song bridge culture and faith or compromise worship's sacredness? Photo by John Angelillo/UPI / Alamy Live News The Church, The Culture, & The Controversy From being declared GQ's 'song of the summer' to the record-breaking Halftime performance filled with symbolism, it's no secret that Kendrick Lamar's " Not Like Us" has the world in an uproar. But just because a song is praised in the culture doesn’t always mean it belongs in the pews. Lately, the TikTok streets have been buzzing with debates over whether this viral anthem has any place in the house of the Lord. Some argue that using mainstream hits helps to engage younger generations and make the church more relevant. Others believe that incorporating secular music—especially one rooted in hip-hop beef—compromises the sacredness of worship. So, does " Not Like Us" belong in church? Let’s take a look at both sides of the conversation. RELATED : Tamela Mann Responds To Glorilla's Viral Performance of 'Take Me To The King' The Song Behind the Debate Released on May 4, 2024, Not Like Us emerged amid a heated back-and-forth between Kendrick Lamar and Drake. The song, produced by Mustard, is a West Coast anthem wrapped in a diss track. In it, Kendrick seemingly calls Drake out over disturbing allegations, including rumors of predatory behavior. But despite its origins in rap beef, " Not Like Us" quickly transcended the feud. Photo by FeatureFlash/ Jean Nelson / Deposit Photos Why Has " Not Like Us " Become a Cultural Anthem? What began as a diss track quickly evolved into a celebration of Black culture, unity, and resilience—especially within the West Coast community. Its infectious beat, danceable rhythm, and chant-like hook made it an instant hit, turning it into more than just a callout but a symbol of collective pride and expression. From Juneteenth celebrations to family cookouts, " Not Like Us" became a staple at Black gatherings, embraced for its energy and communal feel. Much like how gospel has historical ties to blues and jazz, the song resonated emotionally, creating a shared experience that naturally crossed into different spaces—including churches. However, its presence in worship settings has sparked debate, as not everyone agrees that a song born out of rap beef belongs in the house of the Lord. Why Churches Are Playing Not Like Us Engaging a Younger Generation Some churches argue that incorporating " Not Like Us" helps engage a younger generation by using culturally relevant references to make biblical messages more relatable. Meeting people where they are, they believe, opens the door to deeper understanding and connection. RELATED : Youth Pastor Brings Prayer Back to Local Schools A prime example of this is Pastor Mike Todd of Transformation Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma. In his sermon "A Distraction Named David," he remixed " Not Like Us" while drawing a parallel between Saul vs. David and Drake vs. Kendrick. He used the song to illustrate biblical themes in a way that resonated with his audience on the topic of comparison and resentment. A Modern Evangelism Strategy? Some argue that the church has always adapted to cultural trends to stay relevant and effectively engage people. They believe using elements from pop culture—like "Not Like Us" —can create familiarity and openness, making it easier to connect with younger generations or people who are newer to the faith. By using symbolism from pop culture concepts they already understand to explain biblical concepts, understanding can be shared across broader communities. However, others push back, insisting that God’s truth is already alive and powerful, needing no help from worldly influence to reach hearts. The Controversy: Should Secular Music Be Played in Church? The Sacred vs. the Secular Debate Northside Agape Ministries in Vero Beach led a sermon titled "They Not Like Us," drawing from Romans 12:1-2 , which emphasizes not conforming to the way of the world. Their message reinforced the idea that as Christians, believers should remember that the people of the world are not like us—set apart by faith and a renewed mind. However, some argue that using a secular reference to convey this message contradicts the very scripture being preached. Does incorporating a song rooted in rap beef weaken the distinction between faith and culture, or does it serve as a relevant bridge to communicate biblical truths? Where Should the Line Be Drawn? Critics of blending secular music with worship argue that it’s “playing in God’s face,” diluting the sacred by incorporating elements born from a different spirit. While most churches aren’t playing "Not Like Us" in its entirety—often using just the melody, chorus, or a remixed version— it's up for interpretation whether or not the original lyrics contain themes that are contrary to Christian values. So, where do we make the distinction? How can the church connect with culture without promoting comfort in being lukewarm? Scripture, like John 17:16, reminds believers that they are called to be in the world but not of the world—a tension that challenges churches to balance cultural relevance with spiritual conviction. Photo by Moffly / Deposit Photos Final Thoughts: Should " Not Like Us"  Be Played in Church? Beyond the debate, this raises a deeper question: Are we prioritizing culture over kingdom? As Black people, our shared experiences, music, and traditions are significant, but as believers, our first identity is as children of God. While "Not Like Us" may symbolize Black unity and pride, our true identity is found in Christ. Some see the song’s presence in church as a tool for connection, a way to make biblical truths more accessible to younger generations. Others argue that incorporating secular music—especially one rooted in conflict—compromises the sacredness of worship. Is this an example of meeting people where they are, or does it blur the distinction between the sacred and the secular? As the conversation continues, the challenge remains: How do we engage with culture without letting it define us? What do y'all think, Saints?

Praise dance is a cultural touchstone designed to glorify God through movement. Also known as Liturgical Dance, which means public worship, it's a powerful art form that plays a significant role in churches worldwide. What is Praise Dance? Not to be confused with "shouting" or the spontaneous dance done by an individual who feels the presence of God during a praise break, a Liturgical dance is usually choreographed and rehearsed extensively before being performed during a church service or event. It can be performed by just one person or a larger group of dancers. There are many instances of praise dancing in the Bible. For example, in the Old Testament, Miriam, the sister of Moses, led the Israelites in a dance to celebrate crossing the Red Sea. King David danced with all his might after feeling the Spirit of God. Psalm 149:3 instructs us to "Praise His name with the dance..." The elements of modern praise dance have ancient roots that can be traced back to West African religious dances. It became widely popular in the Black Church during the 1970s, but there is evidence that dancing as a form of worship was popular in the Christian church as early as the 9th century. Praise dance can incorporate components of ballet, jazz, and contemporary dance. It can even be done with flags or ribbons. The most significant aspect of liturgical dance is the motivation behind the movements. It's intended not solely for entertainment but to set the atmosphere of a church service or event. Its primary function is to celebrate, minister, and communicate the greatness of God to onlookers. The Acceptance of Praise Dance in the Church Praise dance is most commonly practiced in Pentecostal, charismatic, and non-denominational Christian churches. Many Catholic, Lutheran, and Conservative Baptist churches actively discourage or want to ban praise dancing due to concerns about its association with paganism or inappropriate physical expression in worship. The role praise dance has in the church is significant. Dance is a powerful art form that allows dancers to express their faith and creativity. Some believe that praise dance can be a powerful tool for spiritual renewal, leading to a deeper, more personal connection with God.

It's no profit to gain the world but lose your soul. Angela White explains why she chose to turn to God. Photo by ImagePress Agency / Deposit Photos She recently shared a glimpse of her testimony on social media while celebrating over 2 years of being sober. Formerly known as Blac Chyna, the model and television personality has attributed her transformation to her growing relationship with Jesus Christ. In a candid Instagram post, she writes, "I wasn't happy... I wasn't at peace...until I found Jesus." Angela made a drastic lifestyle change by quitting her OnlyFans career. While creating explicit photos online was lucrative, the model faced lawsuits and numerous expenses, which had her throwing away as much money as she made. On an episode of "Safe to Say", a podcast hosted by Heather Sanders, Angela explains that although she earned up to $450,000 a month, the enemy still had a hold on her life. She needed the money and was making millions, but had to stop because she felt she was moving backward. Angela White's Baptism & Bible College Degree Angela decided to get baptized on her 34th birthday in 2022. After taking that step, she realized she couldn't continue creating explicit content. She told Daily Mail,  “With me being baptized, that's just not what God will want me to do. It's kind of degrading... Now I'm just going by faith. I'm not even really going by like the Blac Chyna way or the Angela way. Let me just let God lead me." Letting God lead her has done her well! Since her initial transformation, she's earned a doctorate from Sacramento Theological Seminary and Bible College , and in March of 2025, she celebrated 900 days or 2.46 years of being sober.

Sing Kelly! They were a group for a season, but they're sisters forever. Former Destiny's Child members Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland shared a clip on social media singing the classic song 'God's Got It' by Reverend Milton Brunson. Michelle wrote in her Instagram caption that the clip was recorded on the way to Kelly's birthday party. She stated that Kelly "chose to have a moment of praise". Now, listeners want more Gospel music from the duo. But we can't forget the hits that Kelly has already given us.

Kelly Rowland, Beyonce, & Michelle Williams Sing Gospel Acapella Here are 6 Christian Songs Sung by Kelly Rowland: Outro / Amazing Grace (1999) Destiny's Child chose to end their Sophomore album "The Writing's on the Wall" with a modern take on the traditional hymn Amazing Grace. It included all the dynamic components of Gospel music, including call-and-response, complex rhythms, and rich harmonies. The song was dedicated to the late Andretta Tillman , one of the group's initial managers. Outro (Amazing Grace) - Destiny's Child Good to Me (2000) It's no secret that the legendary duo Mary Mary grew up in a large family and suffered from financial hardship. Long-time fans were introduced to their testimony through the lyrics of the 10th track of their self-titled debut album. "Good to Me" ft. Destiny's Child is an upbeat tune with a positive message of thanksgiving. Kelly's sweet yet powerful vocals grace the second verse and were a gift to all the church kids who loved the pop group but weren't allowed to listen to secular music. Finally, we could bump a Destiny's Child track without getting into trouble with our parents for breaking the rules.

The medley included original lyrics written by Beyonce Knowles, paired with covers of the melody of Kirk Franklins "Now Behold the Lamb" and the outro of "Center of My Joy" by Richard Smallwood. The popular medley was also included on Michelle William's premiere solo album "Heart to Yours" in 2002. I Know (2003) This soulful track from Destiny's Child was initially featured on the Fighting Temptations soundtrack. However, staying true to tradition, Michelle Williams included the inspirational tune from the trio on her sophomore album "Do You Know," released in 2004. The song "I Know" incorporates storytelling over melodic guitar strumming and rhythmic drums. On the second verse, Kelly boldly proclaims, "You better be ready when He comes", and encourages listeners to hold onto God through the trials of life with her heartfelt ad-libs and intricate harmonies. You Will Win (2007) Kelly proved she could carry a Christian song on her own with this solo emotional ballad. Featured on the Spiriting Rising album, "You Will Win" is an encouraging yet highly underrated song. Say Yes (2014) After years of longing for a reunion, Destiny's Child fans were elated to see Beyonce, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams reunite for another Gospel single. "Say Yes" was featured on Michelle Williams' album "Journey to Freedom". But it didn't stop there--for the Stellar's Award 30th Anniversay, the former group took the stage and gave a memorable performance at the Stellar Awards 30th anniversary . It's been over a decade since the release of a Christian song sung by Kelly Rowland and her former groupmates. What do you think?
