Pastor Ryan Fullerton preaches an expositional message on John 17 and answers the question “What Is a Christian?” He is pastor of Immanuel Baptist Church in Louisville, Kentucky.
What do English Puritan John Owen, pastor John Piper and theologian Wayne Grudem have in common with rap music?
This trio of theological heavy-weights inspired Marcus Gray to write and record a Grammy-nominated album that communicates profound Gospel truths through hip-hop tunes.
Gray, also known as Christian rapper FLAME, is a student at Boyce College who has broken into the world of big-time rap music with a hammer that is as potent as it is unusual within the musical genre: sound biblical doctrine.
On the surface, the two seem a discordant mix — the violence and sex-saturated ethos of hip-hop music and the otherworldly ethos of biblical Christianity — but FLAME has wed the two in a way that is proclaiming the Gospel on a bold new frontier.
