Speaker 1 (00:00):
How's it going, friends?
Your boy Prophecy here withanother episode of Psalmist
Cipher, let's go.
So I was looking at everybodyin my church the other day and I
noticed that there was a lot ofyouth there.
And you know, as I go on myday-to-day routine, I noticed
(00:20):
that most of our youth islistening to hip hop, and that's
normal, right, kids love hiphop, kids love rap and you know
all the mainstream stuff.
But that is the problem there,right, the mainstream stuff.
It's the message behind it,right.
And even though I'm not hatingon that, all right, I'm not
(00:42):
hating on it.
And even though I'm not hatingon that, all right, I'm not
hating on it.
The truth is is that most ofthe time, the message behind it
isn't suitable for most adults,let alone our kids.
Kids are listening to this,right.
So I can't help but to thinkthat if these kids was able to
(01:06):
listen to and hear a lot ofthese Christian rap artists,
they will learn to appreciatenot only the fact that they're
really good at their craft,because they are, all right,
they're out there with some ofthe best mainstream rap artists
now, but they're getting theright message from it.
(01:26):
It's leading them to God.
It does have the grittiness thatthey're looking for.
I guess that's the best way toput it right.
It is a little street.
These people are rapping aboutwhat has happened in their lives
and a lot of times rap artistscome from not the best
(01:53):
neighborhoods, not the bestcities, you know.
They rap about hard times intheir lives or what they've seen
throughout their lives or maybein somebody else's life close
to them, and it's usually astory of pain or trauma or
something like that.
I think kids gravitate towardsthat a little bit.
(02:19):
I mean, I did, and I knowseveral people who do.
I know hundreds of people thatdo.
All right, and there's nothingwrong with that.
If you're taking that badmessage and turning that into a
good one, amen.
But most of the time inmainstream hip hop they're
glorifying the bad stuff.
All right, and I've been a hiphop head all my life, love rap
(02:43):
and everything.
But once you become a born againChristian, with time you start
hearing this and you're like man, I don't want to listen to this
.
It happens by itself.
It's almost not even a choiceRight, a choice right it's.
You go into that mindset whereyou notice the wrong that you're
(03:08):
watching or the wrong thatyou're listening to or the wrong
that you're doing.
It just comes because the HolySpirit is working with you.
But you know, it's hard for thekids to find these Christian
rappers if there's not somebodypointing that out to them.
Like, listen to this or listento that, because there is not a
(03:32):
platform putting that out hereas a combined effort.
All right, they'll probablyhear one artist, right, they'll
probably hear this artist or seethis artist on their feed.
Oh, that's pretty cool, thatsong's kind of dope, right.
But then they're not going intohow deep of a culture there is
(03:57):
and how many of these good,talented artists there are and
they're not looking for.
It's because mainstream hip-hop,mainstream rap, is at every
corner.
It's on every radio, it's inevery car, it's in every club,
it's on every radio station.
(04:17):
That's hip-hop and r&b orwhatever.
That's so easy to consume.
It's everywhere, right, they goto school, they're listening to
it, they put on their.
It's everywhere.
So this is what I want tocreate here.
I want to create a platformwhere we are showcasing all of
(04:38):
these different artists and notonly rap, and poetry too.
Let's just be real here.
Let's keep it a buck.
Rap is poetry to a beat, allright, but I think also the raw
form of poetry can beappreciated too, because poetry
(05:02):
like when you're doing poetrywithout a beat and you're really
connecting to somebody with thestory they'll get what you're
talking about.
You can connect with somebodywith poetry.
I mean, think about it.
All right, most of the cardsthat you give people, either on
their birthday or on Father'sDay or Christmas or this or that
(05:23):
that you connect with somebodywith, as simple as a card, has
what in it.
Paul, all right, I told youthat.
So the current trends of hip-hopnow, right, there's probably
and I'm not gonna name any names, but I'm sure you can figure
this out there's probably fivethat I could think of.
(05:44):
Maybe, if you're a youngerperson watching this, uh, this
episode, or listening to it, putit in the comment section, or
however you can reach out who'syour favorite hip-hop artist
right now, at the time thatyou're listening to this, or you
know who's your top five.
I like to hear, I like to hearwhat that's about.
But there's five mainstreamones that are very lyrical.
(06:09):
Now, I'm not saying they don'tcuss, they do, and sometimes the
messages are, most of the time,not the best message, but
they're so good with their craft.
That it's not only that right,it's not only the bad message.
There is a craft behind it.
So you know you can listen totheir music and appreciate the
(06:31):
fact that they're really good atputting the words together, all
right.
But then you listen to theother ones that might be a
little bit more popular becauseof the beat, or maybe they have
a big following or they're justtrendy at the time, or you know,
maybe their looks, they look acertain way, whatever it is, and
(06:52):
you listen to their music.
One is garbage flat out.
I'm not gonna.
I'm not gonna talk aboutanybody who doesn't have no
lyrical skills just becausethey're popular at the time,
that they, that they're good.
That is wrong and you know.
I'm saying you know I'm right,if you don't have no skills, you
shouldn't.
(07:12):
You know, maybe you have afollowing and stuff like that.
But most of the time I grew up,I grew up in an era where you
had to be talented to be a rapartist.
Think about this.
Let me ask you this If therewas a rock group, if you like
rock and roll, or maybe even atyour church, if there was the
(07:37):
church band or the rock group,whatever group, whatever.
And let's say, each one of thepeople back there the drummer
didn't know how to play thedrums, the person playing the
guitar couldn't play the guitar.
The person singing couldn'tsing the whatever right, they
(08:00):
just didn't know what they'redoing.
It sounded like a hot mess.
That's what a lot of thiship-hop sounds like to me right
now.
Let's be real, man.
A lot of these people justdon't belong there, man, they
just had the following andthey're trendy at the time, so
they have a deal, whatever.
But I can't help but toacknowledge the fact that our
(08:23):
youth are the ones consumingthis garbage.
You know what I mean?
Mean?
They're consuming it, they'relistening to this and they
actually think that it's cooland that it's right.
And you know, with that type ofmessage, you have to wonder how
many of these kids are actuallydoing some of the things that
(08:45):
these influencers because that'swhat rap artists are at times,
you know, if they're trendingand stuff like that, they're
influencing our kids.
They're doing what theserappers are doing or saying in
their videos and in their music,all right.
So that is a problem here onthis channel, here on this
(09:05):
podcast, here on this YouTube orwherever you're consuming this
at all right because we'reacross a few platforms now.
All right, we are not going tobring you that.
I promise you that we are goingto bring you the best of
Christian hip-hop, christian rap, of Christian hip-hop,
(09:26):
christian rap and the best ofwhat I can find of poetry To
give you quality content,quality music, quality stuff to
listen to with the right message, pointing everything to Jesus
and to God.
So now let's talk about youth inchurch.
(09:46):
So I enjoy the different typesof music in church.
I enjoy some of the older stuffthat probably laid the
foundation to a lot of the newerstuff.
My church is a little bit oldschool.
I like to say All right, butthey do put up newer type music
(10:10):
and stuff like that.
But we get a lot of oldies inthere and stuff and I appreciate
them, I like them.
I can see how them songs haveset the tone to a lot of the
other stuff that comes out nowand I appreciate a lot of the
newer stuff also, like a big oneone, and I'll say it again,
elevation worship.
Good for you.
(10:33):
You guys put out some of thebest church songs and if you
could see my church lit up tosome of them songs.
Man, you guys, if you guys evercome across this content, this
podcast or whatever, big ups toyou.
We love your music, but they doa really good job.
(10:54):
The point I'm trying to makehere I feel good coming out of
church, right, but sometimes Ilisten to some of the older
stuff and, like I said, I canappreciate it and I like some of
it, but I like some of thenewer stuff better.
Right Now, our youth I have tothink about them, right, they
(11:19):
might feel the same way.
Probably some of the stuff thatI like, you know, as far as the
church music and the churchsetting they might not relate to
, because they're a lot youngerand most of all, the music
they're consuming is rap.
That's pretty much wherethey're at.
You know what I mean, at leastin my church, right.
(11:44):
So I seen the void here and thenecessity for a podcast like
this, for a YouTube channel likethis, and you know, to be
honest, I try to look for itmyself just to feed myself.
I'm like man, there's got to bea podcast that is providing all
(12:04):
of this music or talking aboutthese different artists and
stuff like that.
And I didn't find it.
But see, we also come across ahurdle, then I'm unable to play
that here without beingcopyrighted, because obviously
we have to do things the rightway, right?
So what I am doing here is I'mmaking a playlist on spotify,
(12:29):
right, and I'll make a playlistfor whatever topic we are doing
on the episode, this one beingrap for the youth.
So my youngins on this one.
They're in the show notes Afterthe show.
I want you to look in the shownotes, in the description or
whatever, and down there isgoing to be a Spotify playlist
(12:53):
that has some specific songsthat I picked out especially for
you for this episode.
All right, there's a fewdifferent.
There is a young Christian rapgroup.
I think they're called theYoung Disciples out of Kingdom
Music group.
I think they're called theYoung Disciples out of Kingdom
Music.
Fire, fire, fire, fire.
You guys are gonna love it.
(13:13):
It's in the Spotify list.
Check that out, and I'll have afew other artists I'm going to
surprise you with in there, justto give you get your beaks wet
a little bit on.
You know, the Christian hip hopscene and stuff like that.
Now, as far as your faith, withthe music I listen to, I can
(13:34):
listen to Christian hip hop allday, I barely even listen to
anything else anymore anymore.
All right, I'll sprinkle in alittle bit of different worship
music, just because I want tochange the tone sometimes, or
whatever, or I'm feeling sometype of way, or, you know, I
want to be inspired to write apoem for church or for myself.
(13:56):
It depends on what I'mlistening to that helps me be
inspired, for me to write.
What is it that you want to beinspired for?
How do you want to build yourfaith?
There are a lot of differenttopics.
The same way, you would look forcertain songs that are
mainstream.
(14:17):
Because of certain feelings oremotions or things you're going
through in life, you would lookfor these songs.
I challenge you to do the samein Christian music, do the same
in Christian hip-hop, do thesame in Christian poetry.
I mean, I'm starting to beactive in different social media
(14:38):
platforms, so I'm going tohighlight a lot of poetry
different Christian poetrygroups, social groups and stuff
like that and I'll put those inthe link down below.
I'll see if I put at least onehere.
I challenge you to actuallylook for these songs because I
want you to have.
(14:59):
This is a form of ministry andthere is no shortage of talent.
You will get your fix oflyrical genius, of the beats of
the message of God's word,because it's all about him, amen
.
But like I was telling you aboutthe group the Young Disciples I
(15:21):
think that's how it goes.
The D-A Young Disciples I thinkthat's how it goes.
The Young Disciples out ofKingdom Music.
They have a cut called Can'tStop.
It's going to be in thisplaylist down there.
If you don't have Spotify, lookit up.
It's called Can't Stop by theYoung Disciples.
It is fire, young kids.
(15:43):
But man them.
Kids could flow.
You're going to love it.
You can thank me later.
Enjoy the song and I wouldappreciate it if you like
comment, subscribe, share,follow you know all the things
you do to either the podcastepisode or the YouTube channel.
(16:03):
It'll help boost up the showand it'll help reach more people
with God's message throughChristian hip-hop and poetry and
on upcoming episodes.
All right, I will be dedicatingone episode a month specifically
on Christian poetry.
All right, I think that is thefoundation of hip hop and it is
(16:28):
a very good way to connectstrictly to somebody's way of
interpreting the word.
All right, I think sometimes wefocus a lot on the beat and how
it's making us move and danceand that's great.
I love it.
I do it all day long.
But there's something aboutjust listening to the words when
(16:52):
it grips you a certain way,that is very, very powerful.
So I'll be doing episodes onpoetry coming up soon.
And listen, kids.
I mean, at the end of the day,it's really up to you.
You guys have to take control,because I can sit here and tell
you to listen to Christianhip-hop.
(17:12):
Your parents, people at church,can tell you, not specifically
Christian hip-hop, but just tolisten to better music.
All right, and it's all good inchurch, I feel it.
But once you walk out the doorof church, you are still
responsible for yourself.
All right, you don't worshipGod just in church, all right,
(17:36):
and God's in church.
Outside of church, he's withyou everywhere you go and you're
responsible for what you'reconsuming.
All right, you have to get inthat word.
You have to do things that arepleasing to God at all times.
He's always watching, he'salways with you.
And I'm not saying this tointimidate you.
(17:57):
I'm telling you this toencourage you, because if this
is your leader, this is who youwant to imitate, if this is who
you want to protect you don't.
You want to do things thatgratify him and exalt his name
and that please him about youractions.
(18:19):
And Christian hip-hop is justanother form of listening to
holy music.
I mean, it's our interpretationof it, and anything can be used
for God's glory, amen,especially when you're on your
own, whether it's Christian hiphop or worship music or poetry
(18:40):
or whatever it is.
You ultimately are in charge ofwhat you're consuming, so be
very, very careful with that andmake sure that you're listening
to the right message.
Also, it's very important forus to always stay in the word.
That is a big responsibilityfor us to do as Christians.
(19:00):
Enjoy the Spotify playlist.
Check out all the socialchannels.
I appreciate your time and Godbless you all.
One God.
How's it going, friends?
Your boy Prophecy here withanother episode of Psalmist
Cipher, let's go.
So I was looking at everybodyin my church the other day and I
noticed that there was a lot ofyouth there.
And you know, as I go on myday-to-day routine, I noticed
(00:20):
that most of our youth islistening to hip hop, and that's
normal, right, kids love hiphop, kids love rap and you know
all the mainstream stuff.
But that is the problem there,right, the mainstream stuff.
It's the message behind it,right.
And even though I'm not hatingon that, all right, I'm not
(00:42):
hating on it.
And even though I'm not hatingon that, all right, I'm not
hating on it.
The truth is is that most ofthe time, the message behind it
isn't suitable for most adults,let alone our kids.
Kids are listening to this,right.
So I can't help but to thinkthat if these kids was able to
(01:06):
listen to and hear a lot ofthese Christian rap artists,
they will learn to appreciatenot only the fact that they're
really good at their craft,because they are, all right,
they're out there with some ofthe best mainstream rap artists
now, but they're getting theright message from it.
(01:26):
It's leading them to God.
It does have the grittiness thatthey're looking for.
I guess that's the best way toput it right.
It is a little street.
These people are rapping aboutwhat has happened in their lives
and a lot of times rap artistscome from not the best
(01:53):
neighborhoods, not the bestcities, you know.
They rap about hard times intheir lives or what they've seen
throughout their lives or maybein somebody else's life close
to them, and it's usually astory of pain or trauma or
something like that.
I think kids gravitate towardsthat a little bit.
(02:19):
I mean, I did, and I knowseveral people who do.
I know hundreds of people thatdo.
All right, and there's nothingwrong with that.
If you're taking that badmessage and turning that into a
good one, amen.
But most of the time inmainstream hip hop they're
glorifying the bad stuff.
All right, and I've been a hiphop head all my life, love rap
(02:43):
and everything.
But once you become a born againChristian, with time you start
hearing this and you're like man, I don't want to listen to this
.
It happens by itself.
It's almost not even a choiceRight, a choice right it's.
You go into that mindset whereyou notice the wrong that you're
(03:08):
watching or the wrong thatyou're listening to or the wrong
that you're doing.
It just comes because the HolySpirit is working with you.
But you know, it's hard for thekids to find these Christian
rappers if there's not somebodypointing that out to them.
Like, listen to this or listento that, because there is not a
(03:32):
platform putting that out hereas a combined effort.
All right, they'll probablyhear one artist, right, they'll
probably hear this artist or seethis artist on their feed.
Oh, that's pretty cool, thatsong's kind of dope, right.
But then they're not going intohow deep of a culture there is
(03:57):
and how many of these good,talented artists there are and
they're not looking for.
It's because mainstream hip-hop,mainstream rap, is at every
corner.
It's on every radio, it's inevery car, it's in every club,
it's on every radio station.
(04:17):
That's hip-hop and r&b orwhatever.
That's so easy to consume.
It's everywhere, right, they goto school, they're listening to
it, they put on their.
It's everywhere.
So this is what I want tocreate here.
I want to create a platformwhere we are showcasing all of
(04:38):
these different artists and notonly rap, and poetry too.
Let's just be real here.
Let's keep it a buck.
Rap is poetry to a beat, allright, but I think also the raw
form of poetry can beappreciated too, because poetry
(05:02):
like when you're doing poetrywithout a beat and you're really
connecting to somebody with thestory they'll get what you're
talking about.
You can connect with somebodywith poetry.
I mean, think about it.
All right, most of the cardsthat you give people, either on
their birthday or on Father'sDay or Christmas or this or that
(05:23):
that you connect with somebodywith, as simple as a card, has
what in it.
Paul, all right, I told youthat.
So the current trends of hip-hopnow, right, there's probably
and I'm not gonna name any names, but I'm sure you can figure
this out there's probably fivethat I could think of.
(05:44):
Maybe, if you're a youngerperson watching this, uh, this
episode, or listening to it, putit in the comment section, or
however you can reach out who'syour favorite hip-hop artist
right now, at the time thatyou're listening to this, or you
know who's your top five.
I like to hear, I like to hearwhat that's about.
But there's five mainstreamones that are very lyrical.
(06:09):
Now, I'm not saying they don'tcuss, they do, and sometimes the
messages are, most of the time,not the best message, but
they're so good with their craft.
That it's not only that right,it's not only the bad message.
There is a craft behind it.
So you know you can listen totheir music and appreciate the
(06:31):
fact that they're really good atputting the words together, all
right.
But then you listen to theother ones that might be a
little bit more popular becauseof the beat, or maybe they have
a big following or they're justtrendy at the time, or you know,
maybe their looks, they look acertain way, whatever it is, and
(06:52):
you listen to their music.
One is garbage flat out.
I'm not gonna.
I'm not gonna talk aboutanybody who doesn't have no
lyrical skills just becausethey're popular at the time,
that they, that they're good.
That is wrong and you know.
I'm saying you know I'm right,if you don't have no skills, you
shouldn't.
(07:12):
You know, maybe you have afollowing and stuff like that.
But most of the time I grew up,I grew up in an era where you
had to be talented to be a rapartist.
Think about this.
Let me ask you this If therewas a rock group, if you like
rock and roll, or maybe even atyour church, if there was the
(07:37):
church band or the rock group,whatever group, whatever.
And let's say, each one of thepeople back there the drummer
didn't know how to play thedrums, the person playing the
guitar couldn't play the guitar.
The person singing couldn'tsing the whatever right, they
(08:00):
just didn't know what they'redoing.
It sounded like a hot mess.
That's what a lot of thiship-hop sounds like to me right
now.
Let's be real, man.
A lot of these people justdon't belong there, man, they
just had the following andthey're trendy at the time, so
they have a deal, whatever.
But I can't help but toacknowledge the fact that our
(08:23):
youth are the ones consumingthis garbage.
You know what I mean?
Mean?
They're consuming it, they'relistening to this and they
actually think that it's cooland that it's right.
And you know, with that type ofmessage, you have to wonder how
many of these kids are actuallydoing some of the things that
(08:45):
these influencers because that'swhat rap artists are at times,
you know, if they're trendingand stuff like that, they're
influencing our kids.
They're doing what theserappers are doing or saying in
their videos and in their music,all right.
So that is a problem here onthis channel, here on this
(09:05):
podcast, here on this YouTube orwherever you're consuming this
at all right because we'reacross a few platforms now.
All right, we are not going tobring you that.
I promise you that we are goingto bring you the best of
Christian hip-hop, christian rap, of Christian hip-hop,
(09:26):
christian rap and the best ofwhat I can find of poetry To
give you quality content,quality music, quality stuff to
listen to with the right message, pointing everything to Jesus
and to God.
So now let's talk about youth inchurch.
(09:46):
So I enjoy the different typesof music in church.
I enjoy some of the older stuffthat probably laid the
foundation to a lot of the newerstuff.
My church is a little bit oldschool.
I like to say All right, butthey do put up newer type music
(10:10):
and stuff like that.
But we get a lot of oldies inthere and stuff and I appreciate
them, I like them.
I can see how them songs haveset the tone to a lot of the
other stuff that comes out nowand I appreciate a lot of the
newer stuff also, like a big oneone, and I'll say it again,
elevation worship.
Good for you.
(10:33):
You guys put out some of thebest church songs and if you
could see my church lit up tosome of them songs.
Man, you guys, if you guys evercome across this content, this
podcast or whatever, big ups toyou.
We love your music, but they doa really good job.
(10:54):
The point I'm trying to makehere I feel good coming out of
church, right, but sometimes Ilisten to some of the older
stuff and, like I said, I canappreciate it and I like some of
it, but I like some of thenewer stuff better.
Right Now, our youth I have tothink about them, right, they
(11:19):
might feel the same way.
Probably some of the stuff thatI like, you know, as far as the
church music and the churchsetting they might not relate to
, because they're a lot youngerand most of all, the music
they're consuming is rap.
That's pretty much wherethey're at.
You know what I mean, at leastin my church, right.
(11:44):
So I seen the void here and thenecessity for a podcast like
this, for a YouTube channel likethis, and you know, to be
honest, I try to look for itmyself just to feed myself.
I'm like man, there's got to bea podcast that is providing all
(12:04):
of this music or talking aboutthese different artists and
stuff like that.
And I didn't find it.
But see, we also come across ahurdle, then I'm unable to play
that here without beingcopyrighted, because obviously
we have to do things the rightway, right?
So what I am doing here is I'mmaking a playlist on spotify,
(12:29):
right, and I'll make a playlistfor whatever topic we are doing
on the episode, this one beingrap for the youth.
So my youngins on this one.
They're in the show notes Afterthe show.
I want you to look in the shownotes, in the description or
whatever, and down there isgoing to be a Spotify playlist
(12:53):
that has some specific songsthat I picked out especially for
you for this episode.
All right, there's a fewdifferent.
There is a young Christian rapgroup.
I think they're called theYoung Disciples out of Kingdom
Music group.
I think they're called theYoung Disciples out of Kingdom
Music.
Fire, fire, fire, fire.
You guys are gonna love it.
(13:13):
It's in the Spotify list.
Check that out, and I'll have afew other artists I'm going to
surprise you with in there, justto give you get your beaks wet
a little bit on.
You know, the Christian hip hopscene and stuff like that.
Now, as far as your faith, withthe music I listen to, I can
(13:34):
listen to Christian hip hop allday, I barely even listen to
anything else anymore anymore.
All right, I'll sprinkle in alittle bit of different worship
music, just because I want tochange the tone sometimes, or
whatever, or I'm feeling sometype of way, or, you know, I
want to be inspired to write apoem for church or for myself.
(13:56):
It depends on what I'mlistening to that helps me be
inspired, for me to write.
What is it that you want to beinspired for?
How do you want to build yourfaith?
There are a lot of differenttopics.
The same way, you would look forcertain songs that are
mainstream.
(14:17):
Because of certain feelings oremotions or things you're going
through in life, you would lookfor these songs.
I challenge you to do the samein Christian music, do the same
in Christian hip-hop, do thesame in Christian poetry.
I mean, I'm starting to beactive in different social media
(14:38):
platforms, so I'm going tohighlight a lot of poetry
different Christian poetrygroups, social groups and stuff
like that and I'll put those inthe link down below.
I'll see if I put at least onehere.
I challenge you to actuallylook for these songs because I
want you to have.
(14:59):
This is a form of ministry andthere is no shortage of talent.
You will get your fix oflyrical genius, of the beats of
the message of God's word,because it's all about him, amen
.
But like I was telling you aboutthe group the Young Disciples I
(15:21):
think that's how it goes.
The D-A Young Disciples I thinkthat's how it goes.
The Young Disciples out ofKingdom Music.
They have a cut called Can'tStop.
It's going to be in thisplaylist down there.
If you don't have Spotify, lookit up.
It's called Can't Stop by theYoung Disciples.
It is fire, young kids.
(15:43):
But man them.
Kids could flow.
You're going to love it.
You can thank me later.
Enjoy the song and I wouldappreciate it if you like
comment, subscribe, share,follow you know all the things
you do to either the podcastepisode or the YouTube channel.
(16:03):
It'll help boost up the showand it'll help reach more people
with God's message throughChristian hip-hop and poetry and
on upcoming episodes.
All right, I will be dedicatingone episode a month specifically
on Christian poetry.
All right, I think that is thefoundation of hip hop and it is
(16:28):
a very good way to connectstrictly to somebody's way of
interpreting the word.
All right, I think sometimes wefocus a lot on the beat and how
it's making us move and danceand that's great.
I love it.
I do it all day long.
But there's something aboutjust listening to the words when
(16:52):
it grips you a certain way,that is very, very powerful.
So I'll be doing episodes onpoetry coming up soon.
And listen, kids.
I mean, at the end of the day,it's really up to you.
You guys have to take control,because I can sit here and tell
you to listen to Christianhip-hop.
(17:12):
Your parents, people at church,can tell you, not specifically
Christian hip-hop, but just tolisten to better music.
All right, and it's all good inchurch, I feel it.
But once you walk out the doorof church, you are still
responsible for yourself.
All right, you don't worshipGod just in church, all right,
(17:36):
and God's in church.
Outside of church, he's withyou everywhere you go and you're
responsible for what you'reconsuming.
All right, you have to get inthat word.
You have to do things that arepleasing to God at all times.
He's always watching, he'salways with you.
And I'm not saying this tointimidate you.
(17:57):
I'm telling you this toencourage you, because if this
is your leader, this is who youwant to imitate, if this is who
you want to protect you don't.
You want to do things thatgratify him and exalt his name
and that please him about youractions.
(18:19):
And Christian hip-hop is justanother form of listening to
holy music.
I mean, it's our interpretationof it, and anything can be used
for God's glory, amen,especially when you're on your
own, whether it's Christian hiphop or worship music or poetry
(18:40):
or whatever it is.
You ultimately are in charge ofwhat you're consuming, so be
very, very careful with that andmake sure that you're listening
to the right message.
Also, it's very important forus to always stay in the word.
That is a big responsibilityfor us to do as Christians.
(19:00):
Enjoy the Spotify playlist.
Check out all the socialchannels.
I appreciate your time and Godbless you all.
One God.
