He advises a young man near the end of the video, “We’re nothing without our mothers.” He’s right–literally and figuratively. I’ll offer Drake the Ignatian presupposition and assume that he has good motives until it’s expressly proven otherwise. He’s really in these schools, he’s actively listening to these communities - as behind-the-scenes videos have shown - and he really is laughing and joking un-self-consciously.” High Snobiety’s Jake Hall has pointed out, “ Fans still fall at his feet, but there’s no security to stop them. I do know that he paid for scholarships, that he supported community programming, and that he brought smiles to many faces. Last time I checked, only God can judge the human heart. Haters claim that Drake’s charitable giving in the music video is selfish. Someone who has made it through by the skin of their teeth and can’t help thinking, like Drake, that “Someone watchin’ this s*** close, yep, close.” God’s got it under control. It arises out of close encounters with death and suffering.

It might not be good, but thank God.” This sort of faith comes from experiences of hardship.

Richard Lawson, Dean of Saint John’s Cathedral, Denver, CO, has commented, “It’s dangerous for anybody to claim to know God’s plan in detail, so I love that Drake doesn’t get too specific, and instead evokes how we long for God’s Plan, a God who is real but always more than we can grasp in the moment.” The name gives it away: “God’s Plan.” There’s a mystery to it. Let’s take a look at three important Judeo-Christian messages the song and video communicate.Īn Unshakeable Confidence in God in the Midst of Good and Bad It’s kind of a big deal that he sends a shout-out to working mothers heard echoing in city streets around the globe. It’s kind of a big deal that he donated his music video’s million-dollar budget to Miami U scholarships, after school programs, and poor families. It’s kind of a big deal that the Canadian Jewish superstar’s new number one single unleashed a message of trust in God’s Providence to the world (at least 430,263,979 times on YouTube alone). Then there’s Loyola University Chicago’s run to the Final Four: was it “God’s Plan”?Īnd now, thanks to “God’s Plan,” wherever Drake is, God is there, too. His voice glides above waves of bass as college players warm up for NCAA soccer matches. He’s booming from transistor radios at a juvenile detention center. He’s taped inside circles of red and pink hearts on middle school girls’ binders.
