Tim Challies’ middle-aged white guy’s guide to Christian rap is awesome.
Challies says,
It has to be one of the most unexpected phenomena in the church today—that white middle-aged pastors are talking about rap music and, even more strangely, actually listening to it and recommending it. I don’t know that anyone would have or could have predicted it.
Although I’m not a pastor, I listened to Christian rap through my teen years, so I can’t help but wonder if these same pastor’s are just kickin’ it old school.
Now, on to the guide:

Challies has written about the rap music phenomenon before, as well as it’s connection to John Piper.
These are two reads I highly recommend.

Dang! Love it!
I used to listen to PID, SFC, DOC and a bunch of others that didn’t use abbreviations.
I’ll have to listen to these new punks.
