Tim Smith interviews Lecrae – lyrical theology in hip hop

by on July 15, 2008 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 [...]
