Long Response:

Read the story on page B6 "The only superstar is Jesus"
Answer the following:

1. Summarize the story in one paragraph
Kanye West perormed a "Sunday Service" concert in Joel Osteen's Lakewood Church in Houston. He preached about God and Jesus and claimed that he recently converted to Christianity.

2. What did West say was his lowest point?
A time in the hospital in 2016 after a "mental breakdown".

3. Have you listened to any of the songs on "Jesus is King"
I have not listened to any of Kanye's new album.

4. Did you like any of them?
I haven't heard any of it.

5. What did he talk about during his speech at the mega-church?
He spoke of Jesus, God, his change to Christianity, money, fame, the Devil, strip clubs, religion, and service to God.

6. Do you know who Joel Osteen is?
I do not know who Joel Osteen is.

7. Do you think West has "found Jesus" and is a changed man? (preface for this question, West and other rappers have created multiple albums covering topics like sex, police brutality, etc. Lyrics for many of West's songs include those topics.)
I have no way of knowing this because I don't know West personally and I have never heard him speak. I've only ever read quotes and I feel as though it's different then listening to someone. My guess is that he's not a changed man, Kanye West is known as a very dramatic person who will do different things for attention so based on his past my guess is that no, he hasn't changed, but I wouldn't know.
