Episode #25The controversy of this topic can be felt among many circles regardless of which side you land on. I felt this conversation was an immense blessing with a fantastic end goal of how the church can still rally around the Gospel and Jesus Christ. I couldn't have spoken with anyone better than Serge as a friend, as a musician, and as a representative of certain lines of thought. I hope you enjoy this episode and walk away with some solid takeaways!CHAPTERS0:00-Intro1:10-Serge, his music, and philosophy intro7:55-Mutual history8:35-“Nothing New”12:45-Writing process / variety of subject matter17:05-Being labeled / categorizing / exploring19:35-The divide between sacred and secular23:03-Branding25:15-Secular to sacred and vice versa28:28-Artists leaving the faith31:25-Sacred and secular (an intro)36:52-Redemption of certain contexts40:10-History of Christian Hip-Hop44:00-Common grace / universal innovation49:00-Association / separation debate57:20-Conscience and music59:45-Denomination hot-take1:02:35-Unification within the church1:06:20-Energy of non-traditional music1:08:50-Music is like food1:10:35-Concern for fellow Christians1:11:30-Outro / final thoughts / music plug
