Un.Orthodox: Church. Hip-Hop. Culture.

by Tommy Kyllonen

Un.Orthodox: Church. Hip-Hop. Culture. Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Synopsis:

Written by a man who is both a hip-hop artist and lead pastor of the first church ever to target hip-hop culture, Un.orthodox shares unique, inside perspectives on how to reach today's urban culture with the message of Jesus. Fascinating, troubling, inspiring, and moving, this is a powerful resource for engaging today's unchurched, thirty-five-and-under generation.

Synopsis:

From its roots in the South Bronx over thirty years ago, hip-hop has swept across continents and oceans, shaping the music and mores of urban culture. It is more than just music. Hip-hop is a lifestyle that encompasses attitude, fashion, and a largely counter-Christian worldview. Transcending ethnic, geographic, generational, and economic barriers, hip-hop places one of the church's biggest mission opportunities right outside our windows.

Un.orthodox equips church leaders and parents alike to understand and engage a culture that is as near as our schools, our communities, and even our homes. Author Tommy Kyllonen has seen hip-hop from the inside as a recording artist, as well as through the eyes of a pastor whose congregation has set the model for a groundswell of young urban churches focusing on hip-hop culture. Offering unique perspectives on the history, current state, and future of the hip-hop movement, Kyllonen shows what a hip-hop targeted ministry can look like in worship, outreach, evangelism, service, and discipleship.

Using his own story as an example, Tommy shows how you can combine the hip-hop culture with faith.
