Do you think this kind of message geared towards young people could be an effective tool for ministry?

You can tell that they are deliberately being sort of silly, but there is still a strong message (whether you agree with the message or not). What do you think?

Kids would think they are fools. It would drive away more than it attracts.

The first generation of rappers are in their 60s, they can get away with it if it is known that was the music of their youth which they still perform today, not somebody stretching out in what will be seen as a pandering attempt. It is how older church musicians, who may have played variations of pop music for 50 years are able to play rock, blues, country and R&B based music for their congregations and nobody will bat an eye

I turned it off after the use of the "N-word". My first thought is that it has to be satire. If it's for real, I feel bad for this guy and his church. If I pulled this crap in my church I would hope they'd be backing a u-haul up to the parsonage the next day.

I think it was an effective tool to show why white Boomers should not rap.


Was the guy with the bee smoker supposed to be the devil or is that Dubuque's idea of special effects?

If Christians start doing it, it immediately becomes uncool. So you're essentially chasing your tail.
