Music's role in your spiritual journey:

In today's podcast, I reflect on the role of music in the spiritual journey, including the impact of secular music on one's faith and worldview. In the past, I lived a compartmentalized life, where I was one way at church, home, and school, and another way through secular music and television consumption. Secular music had a negative impact on my worldview and values, but God intervened in my life to help me see the truth and make a change.

Christian rap and theology:

It's important to be thoughtful about the lyrics and messages in the music we listen to. Today, I prefer Christian rap to other forms of music. It's important to understand the context and message of music and to be mindful of what it is saying about our world, ourselves, and our God. One of my favorite Christian hip-hop artists is Shai Linne. In this podcast, I share a snippet of his song "Doxology" from the album "Lyrical Theology." I like his explanation of the connection between theology and doxology. Doxology, the expression of praise to God, is the ultimate goal of theology. A dead orthodoxy without praise is meaningless.

Worship is more than just singing. Know who you are worshipping when you sing and praise God. The lyrics matter. Are you singing about yourself or God?

Share your thoughts - what do you think about secular and Christian music, worship, and praise music? I'd love to know.
