Trap Theology

Our special guest, Plain James, shared his journey from a life of violence and drugs to becoming a Christian rapper and street minister and the inspiration behind his Trap Theology. He emphasized the importance of reaching out to people in the streets with love and humility, and the power of music to bring people to Christ.

He talks about how he started hustling and gambling to make money, but eventually had a realization that he needed to make a change in his life. He credits a fellow Christian artist, who had already gone through a transformation, for helping him see the light and guiding him towards ministry.

We also talk about the importance of developing a flow and building confidence as an artist. Plain James emphasizes the importance of maintaining one’s identity in Christ and not letting the opinions of others sway you.

We talked about the temptation of unhealthy snacks and sugary drinks, and how renewing one’s mind and staying focused on God can help prevent falling into temptation. They also talked about the importance of understanding the consequences of one’s choices and seeking God’s guidance in making them.

We share some tips on recognizing and resisting temptation, including knowing oneself and one’s weaknesses, having accountability partners, and avoiding places or people that may lead to temptation. We talk about the need to resist the devil and to walk in gratitude, as it can help in resisting temptation. We discuss the consequences of falling into temptation, such as the destruction of relationships.

We also discuss the toxicity that can exist in some marriages, even among believers, and the importance of keeping God at the center of the relationship. We encourage people to resist the urge of talking to each other in a negative way and to remember that their partner is a gift from God.

Overall, this episode highlights the importance of accountability and faith in resisting temptation and living a fulfilling life. It emphasizes the need to prioritize God and His promises, to stay focused on turning negative situations into positive ones, and to prioritize kingdom advancement.
