Why secular artists fail to make an impact after crossing to the gospel industry

If you are keen then I am sure you’ve noticed that most secular artists who cross over to the gospel industry after ‘getting saved’ don’t stay there for long but have you ever wondered why? I guess not.

Today, we’ll look at some of the reasons why they don’t last long in the gospel industry.

Firstly, getting saved means you have to live your life in a particular way and avoid some places that are perceived as ungodly like clubs – which is one of the places where most secular artists make a killing.

The second aspect is industry mechanics. The secular and gospel industry operate differently. You might have a lot of connections to push your career as a secular artists but then when you cross over to the gospel industry you realize that those people can’t really help you.

The third aspect is too much expectations. There was a time when the gospel industry was doing better than the secular industry, so most of the people got saved thinking they would be laughing all the way to the bank but they soon came to realize that the grass is not always greener on the other side.

Lastly, there’s the obvious fact that most of the people who cross over are not true to themselves. They are not really saved but they cross over because they have some hidden agendas or they want to be perceived in a certain way.

In the end, they ‘backslide’ and leave people asking whether they were sincere about their intention in the first place. Were they really saved? If they were, then why did they fail to make an impact?
