It has to be one of the most unexpected phenomena in the church today—that white middle-aged pastors are talking about rap music and, even more strangely, actually listening to it and recommending it. I don’t know that anyone would have or could have predicted it.
I certainly wouldn’t have predicted that I would be one of those middle-aged white guys. I love the music and am fascinated by the phenomenon (which is why I’ve written about it here [2] and about the John Piper connection here [3]). That is also why I’ve prepared this infographic: The Middle-Aged White Guy’s Guide to Christian Rap. Enjoy!
