I want to love Jesus more offline than I do online | Bryce Crawford | The Jesus People Podcast EP79

Like the, the struggle of fame at 22, bro.

You're 22?

Yeah, 22.

That's insane.

22.

You know, I haven't, I haven't seen anyone blow up on social media quite like you, and that's a heavy mantle.

It's cool.

It's really great that the Lord's doing a lot.

But how have you managed that? You were just telling me that you don't, you're not really doing too many podcasts right now, which I'm honored you're on the Jesus People, but, like, how are you holding up, man?

I'm actually doing really well.

You know, I know we talked on the phone, um, a while ago about, like, how I was trying to, like, figure out and navigate some stuff, and I feel like I have a lang- some language to, like, a lot of stuff and thoughts and feelings that I have.

But, um, I, I, I just made the conscious decision to...

I don't know.

I think, I think doing Christian social media, like if you wanna call it that, is so difficult because now, like unintentionally, Christianity can become, I don't know, like a, like an industry-

Yeah

...

if that makes sense.

So unin- like, you know, I, if I wanna, if I'm traveling out of town or something and we would go visit churches.

If I wanna go, if I'm traveling out of town, I'll go visit a church.

Uh, I have a home church in LA, but I'll, you know, if we're going somewhere I'll try to go visit a church.

And let's say we go visit a church, me and my wife or just me, or even if I'm back in Georgia where I'm from, you know, there's a ton of people, which I'm grateful, like the whole point we make the videos is to encourage people, but then the aspect of it being, you know, uh, like Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, they're not Christian platforms.

Mm-hmm.

They're secular.

They're neutral, right? So they don't just promote Christianity.

So because of that, we could go to church, and I wanna encourage people, but then if I'm visiting a church and people are like, "Hey, can I take a picture with you?" I don't want that pastor to think that I'm, you know, that, that I'm trying to like interrupt what God's doing on a Sunday in there.
