He enters the point in the interview where he is talking about scraps: scripture raps, and how they are born of the idea that we have to fight off the lies of Satan with God’s truth, and how music is helpful in memorizing those powerful scriptures. 1:48 Ricky talks about a declaration used weekly at River City Church: “We are badly broken. We are deeply loved.” Steve says putting those phrases together equals: We are God’s Masterpiece. He talks about Ephesians 2:10, and God declaring us as good. 5:20Steve shares about one of his favorite stories – when Jesus first meets Peter. He calls Peter a rock. He sees Peter for who God will make him.6:22Ricky asks Steve what brought him to River City Church.
