116 Life Ep. 126: Introducing BRAG Worship with Trip Lee

This episode wrestles with the tension between treating worship as a fixed genre versus receiving it as a living, communal act shaped by obedience, culture, and shared participation.

Christian Hip Hop fans live at the intersection of authenticity and expectation. We’re surrounded by polished worship playlists, viral moments, and highly produced Sunday experiences that often invite us to consume rather than participate. At the same time, hip hop culture has always pushed against boxes, insisting that expression must sound like lived experience, not borrowed language. This tension matters now because many believers are quietly disengaging—showing up late, singing less, and treating worship as optional—while still craving something real, embodied, and shared.

What happens to our faith when worship becomes something we watch instead of something we do together?

Two Optional Reflection Prompts
Think about your last few church gatherings. What internal or external pressures influenced how fully you engaged during worship, and why?
Where do you feel the strongest pull between cultural expression and spiritual obedience in your own walk, and how does that tension show up practically?
