What up, saints!
Where we at?

Wary 'n' proud. Fun 'n' funny. Gifted 'n' open. Strugglin’ 'n' searchin’. Contrary 'n' sharp. Endearin’ 'n' endangered. Doomed? Not in God’s economy! What we got for those young people we see, hear, know ‘n’ love – that can help ‘em win over the Goliath they face every day? (The Street)

Rapologetics: How the Gospel of Christ Takes On the Street

D.Min. project, Westminster Theological Seminary, 2016.

 

Abstract: An in-depth illustrated examination of the divide between the Church and hip-hop culture, singularly focused on Scripture’s capacity for crossing said chasm. After mapping out Biblical and theological foundations (discovering numerous parallels with hip-hop culture and rap music), the author exegetes the street (following Nehemiah 1-2 and Acts 17:16-34), analyzing its worldview, value system, trusted armor, operational strategies, codes, etc., exhorting the saints to engage its challenges and uncertainties to discover God’s hidden treasure (the imago Dei), tucked away in difficult, obscure places. A course of study is offered, enabling the saints to reach unreached street-oriented young urban Black males in situ.

TGTS 2.0 is a re-working of Rapologetics.

Below is a brochure for the "The Gospel / The Street 2.0" seminar.

The PDF will give you a pretty good handle on TGTS 2.0's content.
