In this episode of A&A Conversations, Kingdom Encourager Ty Newman sits down with Christ Like Kaya, a 20-year-old Christian hip-hop artist whose songs are often titled after Bible verses—turning music into a bridge back to Scripture.

Kaya shares his story growing up between Michigan and Florida, how God’s hand stayed on him through danger and near-death moments, and the night everything changed—leading to a real, immediate transformation. They also unpack what it means to love the unlovable, walk in forgiveness, and reflect your real relationship with God in your art.

Plus: why Kaya studies the “greats” like Michael Jackson for musical excellence, and why he believes Christian artists can go deeper creatively without compromising the message.
