Award-winning hip-hop artist, author, and preacher Trip Lee joins Crosswalk Talk to share the heart behind For Your Glory, his first explicitly worship-centered EP releasing February 13. Known as a pioneer in Christian hip hop, Trip explains why now was the right moment to step into congregational worship music — without abandoning the genre that shaped his ministry.

In this conversation, Trip opens up about how chronic illness has deeply influenced his theology, songwriting, and dependence on God, and why worship must make space for honesty, lament, and hope. He also introduces Brag Worship, a collective focused on broadening what worship can sound like while staying rooted in Scripture and the greatness of God.

Highlights


Why For Your Glory is Trip Lee’s first fully worship-focused project


How “bragging on God” reshapes hip hop’s boast-driven culture


The biblical foundation behind Brag Worship (Jeremiah 9, Psalms, Colossians 3)


How chronic illness shaped lyrics rooted in weakness, trust, and perseverance


Why worship music should reflect diverse cultures and expressions


Collaborations with Naomi Raine, Jonathan Traylor, and others


How preaching, pastoring, and rapping inform one another


The importance of excellence in Christian art — especially for young listeners


Why worship songs should invite participation, not performance
