Hey fam,

I know all you old heads love the 90s (tHe nEw mUmBlE rAp iS wAcK).

I want to preface this mix tape with a message from one of my fave website Think Christian

Think Christian serves devout followers of Christ who are also fans of popular culture. In music and movies, television and video games, we seek to find—in the words of the Apostle Paul—“whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable.” Our task as a digital magazine and podcast is to consider how popular culture and its cultivators interact with God’s story, and we do this with grace, appreciation, and discernment.

Many Christians swim in popular culture every day, whether passively or as active consumers. We hope to meet you in that place and connect your worship on Sunday with what you experience as art and entertainment during the rest of the week. There is no such thing as secular, so let’s bring our Christianity to the pop culture that surrounds us.

Emphasis- consider how popular culture and its cultivators interact with God’s story, and we do this with grace, appreciation, and discernment.

Even Christmas was Christ followers strategy to redeem a Roman Holiday.
