At the end of July, I went down to Chicago to be a part of Legacy Conference 2010. The theme of the conference was Solus Christus (Latin for Christ Alone). This year’s conference drew over 1,000 people to the campus of Moody Bible Institute for a three-day conference consisting of plenary sessions, dozens of workshops and hip hop concerts, and an eight-hour outreach event on the last day of the conference.
Two of our National Conference speakers, Francis Chan and Thabiti Anyabwile, spoke at the conference. One of the most striking things about this conference is how doctrinally-centered and theologically-oriented all of the main sessions and the breakout sessions were. Legacy truly “exists to equip those that are serious about being disciples of Christ to make disciples for Christ.”
I believe God is doing an incredible saving and disciple-making work through Christian Hip Hop. I spent a good part of my time there in awe of the army of Hip Hop artists that God has brought together to influence this culture with God-centered music and lyrics.
I was blessed to be able to interview several new friends while at Legacy. I’d like to introduce you to Katalyst, Odd Thomas, and Braille. These dudes love Jesus, his bride, and hip hop music. I seriously encourage you to watch these interviews, pray for these brothers, and support them by purchasing their music and spreading the word.
