Flest ykkar þekkja mig sem rappari og flytjandi, en sannleikurinn er, á hjarta Ég hef alltaf verið prédikari.
Svo lengi sem ég hef verið að gera tónlist, mín dýpsta löngun hefur verið að boða fagnaðarerindið og lýsa gæsku og dýrð Jesú Krists. Með náð Guðs ég hef haft tækifæri til að nota tónlist til að gera það á opinberum sviðinu. Ég hef elskað hverja sekúndu af því og ég hef reynt að gera það með yfirburðum. Í gegnum árin, Ég hef skynjað Guð kalla mig og útbúnað mig ekki bara til að gera tónlist, en einnig til að prédika og skrifa.
Þess vegna á síðasta ári skrifaði ég The Good Life, bók sem kafar dýpra inn í skilaboðin aftan minn met af sama titli. Það er líka ástæða þess að ég tilkynnti síðasta haust að ég myndi ekki vera að ferðast eins mikið og ég hef verið. Ég vil læra hvernig á að vera trúr prestur, og að geta aðeins virkilega gerst í tengslum við Glerárkirkju. Þannig að ég ætla að taka tíma til að fjárfesta í námi frá guðræknir prestar í kirkjunni minni í Washington, DC. Lord tilbúin, þegar ég þjóna á starfsfólki á kirkju minni, Ég líka að vera fær um að þróa meira af verkfærum sem ég þarf til að þjóna langan tíma í staðbundinni ráðuneyti.
Ég ætla að treysta Guði að góðir dagar eru framundan, og ekki hafa áhyggjur - þú munt vera að heyra mikið meira frá mér, frá skriflega til tónlist til fræðslu og prédikaði. Ég er þakklát fyrir alla stuðning þinn á leiðinni, og ég býð þér að tengja mig á veginum framundan.

This still wasn’t clear. So he’s not completely retiring from music?

No he’s not stepping away from music, he’s devoting more of his time to his pastoral studies and commitment to his local church

At first I believed he was retiring. Now every time I listen to his old songs, I’m like… he’s coming back, he’s way too good not too. Still one of my favorite artists.

Awesome it is great to see a young person who is willing to pursue god to the point of stepping down from a career in music as his main focus to putting gods word as a preacher and pastor first. You were already doing that with your music you know, now its a musicless song.

I doubt Trip will be a Pastor. He loves Christ rap too much. He ain’t giving that up.

Hey með,
Who do you listen to for sermons? I see Piper’s work interwoven in Reach’s work, what other kind of figures do you listen to for inspiration/enlightenment on scripture?
takk.

Definitely understand, the calling of a shepherd is first to his immediate flock. We’re having a conference at my church New Bethel Church in Kansas City, Kansas especially dedicated to up and coming pastors. My pastor Suff. Bishop A. Glenn Brady is an excellent mentor and is passionate about pushing people into the abundance of God’s blessings for their lives. You should look him up on FB!

Just remember that preaching is communicating the gospel, however you do that best. I have always found your music to be wonderful sermons. A lot of times we think that a ‘call’ means we have to do the standard preacher role, when what He is equipping us for is what our hands find to do.
Just a thought.
My the Lord bless and keep you.

This really didn’t surprise me. I can see that’s where that dude’s heart is calling. He staying true to it and I pray for God’s best for him. And that he stays humble. It’s funny that I’m wearing his “Can I brag on my Lord?” wristband. That’s who I know will get the glory and for that I’m all with it. Let’s GO!!!!!

I am going the distance with you Trip.
Hebreabréfið 12:1-2 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset [us], and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of [okkar] trú; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Ur music is just too good for you to put away! Your music is your sermons…..it touches alot of souls even to the point that you are unaware. It may not be reflected in album sales, Grammys, sold out shows but know that its to His glory. Like you said don’t look for that boxed up comfortable Jesus, it doesn’t exist. I will say this if the conviction or love of music digs into your soul enough, I know you will be back! Think about the missionaries who are tortured and kill in this day and age for Christ…..I know many of them thought of returning to their local churches where there is comfort! They are the brave soldiers…..warriors….i admire them more than any other “clique” in Christ….They are truly “unashamed”!
