The Conversation Between Dee-1 and Lecrae

We discussed a recent conversation between two Christian hip-hop artists, Dee-1 and Lecrae, about whether it’s possible to be “ratchet” and righteous at the same time. We shared our opinions on the topic and emphasized the importance of being careful about what influences we allow into our lives.

We want to encourage all of you to continue fighting the good fight of faith and counting your wins, both big and small. Remember to maintain your integrity, represent your faith positively, and let your transformed lives be a testimony to others.
