It is a culture familiar with the hard realities of our broken world; the generation raised with rap knows about the pain.  How will they hear Christ's message of truth and hope if we don't speak their language?  And how can we speak their language if we don't understand and embrace their culture?  You will leave this workshop equipped with a deeper understanding and tools that will help you engage your youth ministry to connect the message of the Gospel in and through the spirituality of Hip-Hop.

This workshop will provide an understanding
of the role of power and influence that the
Hip-Hop sub-culture plays in the spiritual
development of youth. You will be able to
discern Hip-Hop’s messages of spirituality
and leave this workshop equipped with
tools and a deeper understanding of how to
connect the message of the Gospel in and
through the spirituality of Hip-Hop.
