What if “not qualified” is the perfect place from which to begin working for God? I thought, “well, it’s true, I should probably take them down.” But then I realized something… How could I be surprised when people from my past thought I looked like an absolute hypocrite? Because several seasons in my life have been spent living in the exact opposite worldview, causing many people around me to be left broken and hurting.
To tell you the honest truth, I am probably the last person who should be telling young women how worthy of love they are, not to mention telling young men how they should be living a purposeful, driven life. I felt as if I might be sick or fall over. Upon receiving that specific Facebook message, my heart dropped into the pit of my stomach. This is the statement the video opens with, “Not Qualified”. Through all the resistance though, one statement stuck out in my heart the most. Some from people who didn’t know me at all, some from people who knew me only in a very dark time of my life, and some even from my closest of friends. If I could, allow me to tell the story surrounding “Not Qualified” so that we might discover the heart behind the words.Īfter releasing the two part “Who You Are” series, I received some negative resistance from many different sources. Let me just start by saying, that is not the intention of these words, and I pray that no one will view it that light. I knew that my intentions were pure, but I also knew it would run the risk of sounding like a prideful, combative comeback from a Christian artist who can’t handle criticism.
