If you watched the 2025 Super Bowl, you know the cultural impact of hip-hop is undeniable.Â
However, the profound meaning and spirituality behind many of the lyrics from artists like Kendrick Lamar, Lauryn Hill and Tupac, to name a few, can often be overlooked.Â
God is in everything, and that includes all the forms of music that provide a soundtrack for a time, a movement, or a life. Hip-hop is often misunderstood, but it inspires, comforts and addresses social issues through the lens of justice.Â
You may be well-versed in the culture, or you may not be familiar with the genre. Or you might be somewhere in the middle. Wherever you are on the spectrum of this musical phenomenon, we invite you to take a journey with the Rev. Dr. Chris Burton, Da Baddest Chaplain, and learn how God’s love and the lyricists’ faith work together to deliver a message.
Join us on Wednesdays, starting in November, for The Theology of Hip-Hop, a podcast hosted by Chris Burton. You can find it on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.Â
