We serve a generation desperate for authenticity, desperate to move beyond the rhetoric of cliché Christianity to something meaningful, transformative, and real.

How did He do it? Are His methods applicable today?

How have self-proclaimed “controversies” like Eminem and “hard-knock” lifers like Jay-Z sold millions of records to suburban kids all across America? Fundamentally, it’s because Jay-Z and his counterparts have become better fishers of men than we are. They identify with kids’ pain and address their needs in language they understand and in a forum they frequent. The question for the Church is no longer whether to engage, but how to do so effectively.
