Link: An Interview with Lecrae and Trip Lee

I love to see the proper contextualization of Christianity.  Here is a link to a long video interview between Justin Taylor (Managing Editor of the ESV Study Bible) and two wonderfully talented, biblically passionate hip hop artists.

Lecrae will be performing as part of Vision Conference, 3/19/11 (check out the new website).

I love to study the Bible and I love to engage with others in learning. I had been privileged to do this on a regular basis through church ministry and through part-time teaching at a local Bible colleges. Helping individuals learn to feed themselves through their own study of God’s Word is joy-giving to me. Influencing groups to do life and church from a biblically grounded, theologically faithful perspective is my passion.
