Lecrae Moore's Christianity Is Not A Genre
Christianity Is Not a Genre
Lecrae Moore is more than just a Christian artist; he has caught the attention of both secular and religious culture. What people don’t realize is that he came from a broken family and a broken childhood. His life before equips him to reach out and relate to all walks of life, and his fame gives him the ability to spread his faith to those who have lost all hope.
Many families in this age are fractured, and Lecrae’s is no exception. Without a father figure in his life, Lecrae searched for anything to fill the void. At a very young age, he turned to drugs, alcohol, and more unpleasant things. After a relationship with the only person he relied on dissolved, Lecrae was left feeling empty with his life in turmoil.

    Richard Speck

    In Kirkwood, Illinois, Benjamin and Mary Speck became the proud parents to a baby boy, named Richard Benjamin Speck. Richard was the seventh of eight children, which was a financial hardship for his mother and father. Richard’s mother, a deeply religious woman, ran her household in the same mannerism as her dedication to religion. She prohibited any use of alcohol and tobacco. In one instance, she greatly chastised Benjamin at a church picnic for having a single beer. To provide for his family, Benjamin would pick up extra hours whenever he could at any of the plethora of jobs he held. Richard’s father had an amazing work ethic, being a farmhand, a logger, a packer and laying roof tiles.

Their close relationship was brought to a halt when his father passed away of a heart attack at age 53. This devastated six year old Richard. His life as he knew it would be forever changed.…

    Family Stress In I Love Yous Are For White People By Lac Su

    Lac Su’s memoir shows many instances of psychological control as defined by the textbook, such as withdrawal of affection as a form of punishment. While using fear as a parenting tool can be effective, it has been shown to have negative effects on the child, such as a “decreased sense of personal effectiveness” (Lamanna 231). In Lac’s case and many like it, having an emotionally neglectful or abusive environment can leave a child vulnerable to further trauma. Fearful of the rash actions of the father, the family is forced into silence in regards to the sexual abuse Lac experiences from their cousin Crazy. Instead of addressing the problem or offering support, Lac’s mother insists that the entire issue be ignored and swept under the rug, lest the father fly into a rage and murder the cousin. Because of this, it is unlikely that the author ever felt safe and secure for as long as he lived in the same home as either his father or his cousin. Other than the obvious physical neglect of healthcare in favor of less reliable traditional medicine and the withholding of food as punishment, emotional neglect and withdrawal drive the author away from his own culture and into risky and troublesome behavior to fulfill his emotional needs and attain feelings of security. The sense of community that was taken from him upon sudden immigration and the hostile environment of his living situation throughout his childhood, coupled with racial tensions in the area at the time, led the author to settle for several friendships that could be considered toxic. While the knowledge that he might be reprimanded for his actions and choice of friends by his father served to help delay Lac from several poor decisions regarding drugs, violence, and public defacement, a distinct lack of positive reinforcement for good behavior and healthy friendships likely helped guide him towards the dangerous path he would end up following. When his…

    Vergil’s Aeneid

    In Book VI of Vergil’s Aeneid, Aeneas encounters at least three pairs of fathers and sons: Brutus and his sons, Marcellus the Elder and Younger, and Daedalus and Icarus. The concentration of these three father-son pairs illustrates the importance of parental relationships throughout the Aeneid. Loving father-son relationships play prominent roles in at least eight of the Aeneid’s twelve books.[1] However, the central father son relationship, between Aeneas and his son Ascanius, is best described as cold and distant. Aeneas’ relationship with his own son is problematic, particularly in light of these other caring father-son relationships.…
