To Christians Slamming Lauren Daigle for Saying She’s Not a “Christian Artist”

You may or may not have heard the news by now that Lauren Daigle recently came out in a radio interview saying she doesn’t particularly identify as a “Christian artist” anymore.

In a segment earlier this month with 104.3 MYFM, the interviewer asked her the following series of questions:

“What do you call yourself? What do you name yourself? Do you call yourself still a Christian artist even in the mainstream, or what do you call yourself?”

“I feel like those labels get put on you by other people,” she replied. “I was reading articles, I read them here in there, and one of them said Christian artist and the other ones said just artist. But I think part of me is just an artist because it encompasses everything. That’s kind of how I see myself.”

Once the below YouTube video of her comment was released, along with a full 20-minute interview that avoided any mention of “Jesus” or “God,” Christians were quick to slam the singer for shedding her Christian identity.

“Shame on you Daigle,” “SELL OUT,” and “deceiver” were just a few among many negative comments spewed out online.

“Lauren Daigle is NOT about Jesus… she is obviously about herself. She does not represent Christ-followers,” wrote one YouTube user.

…While other comments got even more heated.

“Daigle……… You didn’t even give God the Glory for blessing you with a wonderful voice! You didn’t once mention the name of our Lord JESUS CHRIST!,” added another disturbed commenter. “Shame on YOU Daigle. May our Lord Jesus Christ lead you back onto the right path because clearly you have gone astray….. REPENT.”

After recently giving a controversial response about whether or not homosexuality is a sin in saying “I can’t say one way or the other,” Daigle’s appeal with a certain segment of her Christian audience has gone downhill.
