Here’s what caught my attention over this week: John Piper’s 4 part interview with Matt Chandler. I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again, Matt Chandler has the highest CWPM(Convicting Words Per Minute) rating out of anyone I’ve heard. ChurchCrunch’s 3 tips for not sucking at ‘Christian’ blogging. I can’t say the post is entirely [...]

in review
Ahhhh… Finally something so fresh and clean from the durty south. This album is by far Lecrae’s best work yet. Rebel is a fresh work of art painted with vicious beats mixed with theology and flat out gut checks. I love how he is capable of taking redeemable qualities of secular rap/hip hop and transferring [...]

I first heard this song after watching Mars Hill’s spontaneous baptism video they released on their easter service this year. It was one of the most beautifully arranged songs I’d heard and I was tremendously moved. So this loop is a completely transparent attempt to duplicate the genius of what Tim Smith did with this [...]

I’ve been looking forward to Mark Discoll’s new book “Death By Love” for some time. The concept is to explain the work of Jesus on the cross through pastoral letters written to his people addressing their real life issues. This content doesn’t appear to be for the faint of heart, but then again, anyone in [...]

in interview, What's Next?, worship
What’s Next? This one question I am asking various worship leaders and pastors. The context is what’s next in corporate worship but beyond that no guidance has been given for appropriate response. Part 3 of this series is Mars Hill Worship Pastor Joe Day’s response. Joe Day is husband to Jentry, father to his 9-week-old [...]

in culture, interview, theology
Hearing a talented rapper talk about the need to fuse systematic theology and hip hop and train church leaders who have poor theology is just mind blowingly awesome. Lecrae discusses the difficulties in reach a hip hop culture so rooted in idolatry and sin. These are the kind of interviews that make me excited to [...]

Lacrae and his group did a concert at Mars Hill Church but also joined Red Letter on stage during worship to lead a song this past Sunday evening. Amazing worship song. So cool that MHC has the courage to do things like this. I love seeing people with a conviction and identity and just going [...]
