    'God Is At Work': Kanye West's 'Sunday Service' Pastor Takes You Inside Rapper's Faith | The Stream

    Adam Tyson, the pastor who is invigorating and inspiring audiences across the U.S. at rapper Kanye West's "Sunday Service" events, has revealed some fascinating details about West's newfound faith.

    "He is living and walking with God," Tyson told "The Pure Flix Podcast," noting that he's seen noticeable changes in the rapper's life. "He's in the Bible. He's in prayer."

    Tyson, pastor of Placerita Bible Church in Santa Clarita, California, said West won't even allow people to curse around him — and he confirmed that the performer only wants to sing gospel music moving forward.

    Listen to Tyson reveal the amazing ways West has changed:

    The preacher also shared the story behind how he first met West, explaining that the rapper randomly visited his church of around 300 members in May, and the two quickly struck up a friendship.

    It was during some private conversations that West told Tyson he had recently become a Christian.

    "[West said], 'I was just under the weight of my sin and I was being convicted that I was running from God, and I knew I needed to make things right, so I came to Christ — I came out of darkness and came into the light,'" Tyson recounted.

    The pastor recalled spending three hours with West during their first meeting. Tyson said he went through the gospel and explained "that Christ came to die" for sinners and that "by repenting and believing in him we can have eternal life."

    The rapper's response to this message was fascinating. He reportedly told Tyson, "I told you I've been radically saved. I believe that message and I want to get that message out to the world."

    And that's exactly what West appears to be doing now, hosting "Sunday Service" events at churches and locations across the U.S. — musical events that also feature gospel messages from Tyson.

    As for Tyson, he has kept his commitment to help Kanye.

    "[I told him], 'As long as you're professing Christ and living for him, I'm here to help you,'" he said.

    In addition to traveling the U.S. to deliver the gospel at West's "Sunday Service" events, Tyson hosts Tuesday Bible studies with West and his staff, traveling to Cody, Wyoming, each week where West now lives.

    "He's so excited about studying the Bible," he said. "How can you say no?"

    PTL Kanye seems to have had a genuine salvation experience - hopefully he will grow strong and mature in the faith

    Personally I am glad Kanye is not doing these meetings with trendy hipster big name charismatic/pentes.
    This pastor will obviously get a 'name' now but as long as he stays humble and grounded it can go a long way to reaching many

    "The pastor recalled spending three hours with West during their first meeting. Tyson said he went through the gospel and explained "that Christ came to die" for sinners and that "by repenting and believing in him we can have eternal life."

    Adam Tyson graduated from John MacArthur's seminary, and is a Calvinist. Presumably he holds to the five points of Calvinism including "limited atonement", so when he tells Kanye that Christ died for sinners we have to mean that he doesn't mean ALL sinners ... only the elect that were chosen from the foundation of the world. I wish Kanye the best, but I'd hate to see him become a spokesperson for this disgusting theology.

    Romans 10: 12For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
    Philippians 1: 18What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.

    I'm thankful KW called on the name of the Lord! Let's presume the best for him.

    I agree, Sis. - Let's continue to lift him up in prayer - I'm excited and praying that this was a "REAL" conversion, and looking forward to the "ripple effect" his salvation will have on his family (those crazy Kardashians), friends, and fans.
