Weekly Blessings:Week 69: Faith Features with Timon Clark
I have started a new series on “Weekly Blessings” called “Features,” where we talk to Christian artists, musicians, leaders, average Joes, ect. and feature them and their accomplishments in he faith! I wanted to really give you guys more personal insight and highlight you guys as readers, so here it is!
Today, our first featured guest on “Faith Featured” is Timon Clark! Timon, better known as Godz Warriah, is a Christian rap artist with a message to share! The Memphis native comes from a long line of musicians, so the gift was in his blood. Though straying and embracing the secular side of music during his young adult years, Clark was eventually able to return to God and spread His word through Christian rap. He now leads souls to Christ through his music, teaching, and spoken word.
~To make a long story short, I got saved when I was 6. When I got to college I got involved in some things that brought me to a mental state of depression, guilt, and shame. I had rebelled
~ I would have to say going to youth rallies at different churches and seeing all kinds of young people being influenced by Christian Rap. As a teenager that was really appealing to me.
~I just basically pray and ask God what is it that He wants me to say. I then create a beat for the song. Lastly, I listen to the beat over and over until the lyrics come.
~What motivates me is the sacrifice that Jesus made for me on Calvary. Also, seeing how music can really influence people, I want to keep using this music to give them the answer to all of their problems and that’s a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ.
~My musical Influences are My father Pastor Derek Clark, my late grandmother Fannie Cole Clark, and my uncles Jackie and Jason Clark. Rappers would be Bizzle, Lecrae, Mr. Del and the Holy South, D.C.P. and the list goes on.

~My favorite song would have to be this song I wrote entitled: “Second Chance.”
~ My ultimate goal is not to see how many records I can sell, nor how much I can hype up a crowd. I want these people to know this God personally who they hear me rapping about. I want them to understand that they have been bought with a price through the blood of Jesus Christ. Through Him they can be made a new creation.
~ Oh Yes!! I have a Mixtape called “The Good Soldier” coming out next year!!!
Special thanks again to Timon for being so gracious and taking time out to talk with me!
