Millennial Minute: Is Christian hip hop healthy for young adults?

Minister Larisha Warner and Dominic Lyon are new guests on the Millennial Minute series that started this second season of Emunah. They talk about the challenges of getting peers to accept Christ as well as their struggles to live for Christ. And, the two weigh in on whether Christian Hip Hop is a genre of music that is healthy for millennials searching for new avenues of entertainment. The greatest challenges to millennials today: Larisha: accepting or believing that God still loves them in spite of past sins and the things theyve gone through. Dominic: Our struggle is the crowd thats around us, the environment that were in. If you could describe the gospel in one sentence for a millennial, what would you say? Dominic: The gospel in one sentence is the Blueprint for life. Larisha: The Good News that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He died for your sins. He rose again, and because of Him, there is no condemnation for those who believe in Him but only everlasting joy. Both Larisha and Dominic are enthusiastic disciples of Christ.
