This actually sounds like “mainstream” hip-hop aka the production quality is great, the flow is sick, and the lyrics aren’t overly simplistic (unlike most Christian hip hop). Check Out Chad Jones’ EP – Keep Up Noteworthy Songs: “I Know” & “Hold Up”

What Will You Say?
Some spoken word from Clayton Jennings (via Thabiti Anyabwile) I’d rather be a poor man stuck in poverty than to be a slave to paper refusing God’s sovereignty…
Why Ke$ha gets St. Augustine Right (Cultural Capital pt. 2)
A while ago we took a look at James’ call to believers – if you are a believer in Jesus Christ you don’t show favoritism. Period. This discussion led us to think a little bit about “cultural capital.” Which are those things that we “exchange” or “reveal” in order to get some sort of culturalContinue reading “Why Ke$ha gets St. Augustine Right (Cultural Capital pt. 2)”
Spiritual Depression (Pt. 2)
Its pretty much guranteed – if you are a Christian you will experience “spiritual depression” at some point. Much like other forms of depression, “spiritual depression” is marked by an absence of feeling. You don’t feel like pursuing God and you don’t feel like pursuing community. Most importantly, you don’t “feel” God’s presence. Instead youContinue reading “Spiritual Depression (Pt. 2)”
House of Hartt
I don’t normally blog about this kind of stuff (decorating, weddings, etc.) – but I’m just so thankful to Corinne from House of Hartt that I couldn’t help share my appreciation for her and her team’s work at our wedding! Amelia and I got married in January and Corinne from House of Hartt was ourContinue reading “House of Hartt”
Goodbye Dear Friend…
I recently found out that a dear (ergh..) friend of mine has moved on to a better place. For many years, me and my (ergh…) friend spent time hanging out, going on hikes together, working together, writing together, driving around town together. We even (ergh…) sang (screamed?) on stage together. It has been a longContinue reading “Goodbye Dear Friend…”
Noah: “A Sin-Full Movie Review” Roundup (What Others are Saying)
I have been getting a lot of feedback on my post –Noah: A Sin-Full Movie Review – so I figured that I would write up a follow up on it. However instead of responding to everybody, I figured I would point out what some other reviews are saying about this film. Alissa Wilkinson at Christianity Today:Continue reading “Noah: “A Sin-Full Movie Review” Roundup (What Others are Saying)”
Noah: A Sin-Full Movie Review
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. – St. Paul Without a doubt Aaron Aronofsky’s rendition of the Noah story falls short of the glory of its telling in the book of Genesis. At times it cheesy, at times its confusing, at times it doesn’t make sense, and at timesContinue reading “Noah: A Sin-Full Movie Review”
Book Review – Visions of Vocation by Steven Garber
What the heck am I supposed to be doing with my life? Working with college students I hear that question all the time. It seems like it is a perpetual mystery among college age/post-college age adults. To be honest it seems to be a perpetual mystery for myself as well. In recent years we haveContinue reading “Book Review – Visions of Vocation by Steven Garber”
I Pledge Allegiance To….
Over the last few weeks I have been answering some common questions about Christianity and Culture. Today I turn my attention to the other subject one is never supposed to talk about in a proper setting. Thankfully this isn’t a proper setting – so lets talk politics! How does Christian allegiance intersect with national allegiance?Continue reading “I Pledge Allegiance To….”
