Pastor Josh Laryea repents of merchandising his music gift, leading others to do same

Pastor Josh Laryea has urged Gospel musicians focused on business to be transparent about their intentions.

Speaking on No.1 FM, he differentiated commercial performers from those committed to ministry.

Laryea criticized Gospel artists who prioritize profit over spiritual guidance, shelving impactful songs for commercial viability.

Reflecting on his journey, he admitted to past mistakes, treating Gospel music as a profession rather than a spiritual service.

He recounted how this mindset strained his friendship with a financier and shaped his understanding of music as a ministry.

Laryea condemned the commercialization of Gospel music as unbiblical, advocating instead for modest honorariums to cover expenses.

He praised artists like Eugene Zuta for maintaining a spiritual focus, urging others to prioritize ministry over monetary gain.
