Karamihan ng alam mo sa akin bilang isang rapper at performer, ngunit ang katotohanan ay, at heart lagi ako na tagapangaral.
Para sa hangga't ako ay paggawa ng musika, aking pinakamalalim na pagnanais ay upang ipahayag ang Ebanghelyo at magpapahayag ng mga kabutihan at kaluwalhatian ni Hesus Kristo. Sa pamamagitan ng biyaya ng Diyos ako ay nagkaroon ng pagkakataon na gamitin ang musika upang gawin iyon sa isang pampublikong stage. Ko na mahal sa bawat segundo ng mga ito at ko na sinubukan upang gawin ito na may kahusayan. Paglipas ng mga taon, Ko na sensed Diyos pagtawag sa akin at equipping sa akin hindi lamang upang gumawa ng musika, ngunit din upang mangaral at isulat.
Iyon ang dahilan kung bakit noong nakaraang taon sinulat ko The Good Life, isang libro na dives mas malalim sa ang mensahe sa likod ng aking rekord ng parehong pamagat. Ito ay din kung bakit ako inihayag huling pagkahulog upang huwag ko silang naglalakbay lubos ng mas maraming bilang ako ay. Gusto kong malaman kung paano maging isang tapat na pastor, at na maaari lamang talagang mangyayari sa konteksto ng lokal na iglesya. Kaya ako paglalaan ng oras upang mamuhunan sa pag-aaral mula makadiyos pastors sa aking iglesia sa Washington, DC. loloobin ng Panginoon, habang naglilingkod ako sa mga kawani sa aking simbahan, Kukunin ko ring magagawang upang bumuo ng higit pa sa mga kasangkapan na kailangan kong maglingkod long term sa lokal na ministeryo.
Ako magtiwala sa Diyos na magandang araw ay maaga, at huwag mag-alala - ikaw ay pagdinig ng isang pulutong ng higit pa mula sa akin, mula sa pagsulat sa musika sa pagtuturo at pangangaral. Nagpapasalamat ako sa lahat ng iyong suporta sa kahabaan ng paraan, at ako mag-anyaya sa iyo upang sumali sa akin sa kalsada nang mas maaga.

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 Trip,
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?
salamat.

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.
Hebreo 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 [natin] pananampalataya; 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 “click” in Christ….They are truly “unashamed”!
