Are You Living the Good Life?
Earlier this year I went on tour with my new book, The Good Life. Each night, I gave a talk that tried to answer the question, “What does it mean to live the good life?” In Chattanooga, TN, we recorded the message and I’ve posted it above. The book released on October 1, 2012 and you can purchase it here. To learn more about the book you can click here. You can purchase The...

The Future of Trip Lee
Most of you know me as a rapper and performer, but the truth is, at heart I’ve always been a preacher.
For as long as I’ve been making music, my deepest desire has been to proclaim the Gospel and declare the goodness and glory of Jesus Christ. By God’s grace I’ve had the opportunity to use music to do that on a public stage. I’ve loved every second of it and I’ve tried to...

All We Need Is In God
Here’s the audio from a recent sermon I preached on Psalm 142. All of us go through difficult times, but the psalm shows us that even in the worst times we can find everything that we need in God. The four points are:
I. God is Our Friend in Times of Trouble
II. God is Our Protection in Times of Trouble
III. God is Our Treasure in Times of Trouble
IV. God is Our Deliverer in Times of...

Reflection on the Conventions
I watched most of the political conventions these last two weeks. The public speaker in me couldn’t help but over-analyze the messages and oratory skills of the candidates and their supporters. Every person on that stage tried to persuade you with personal stories and/or big promises.
I’ll admit, some of their desires were noble, but most of the speeches felt calculated, empty, and...
The Perfect Anger of God
Here’s a sermon I preached recently on Psalm 95:10-11. My 3 points were simple:
I. Sin Provokes God’s Anger
II. Sin is an Alernate Path
III. Sin keeps us from God’s rest
I pray this is an encouragement to you

The first song I wrote for my most recent album, “The Good Life” was a song called “Beautiful Life.” Desiring God asked me about that song and my heart behind it. Here’s their entire blog post.
And here are the lyrics to the song, which features V. Rose:

iLove Lyrics
These are lyrics from my song iLove on my new album “The Good Life.” Anybody else suffer from iLove?
Verse 1:
My girlfriend’s name starts with an I
Shines bright like stars in the sky
Stays by my side, when its dark she’s the light
She befriends many, and we get lost in her eyes
Staring at her instead of watching our steps
Run to her when we wake without catching...

What's So Good About Good Friday?
It’s normal to remember the day of somebody’s death. Anyone who’s lost a loved one knows that you’ll never forget the day they passed on. It’s the end of a life, and it’s heartbreaking.
Of course, as a human race, we don’t only remember loved ones. When important public figures die prematurely, we remember and mourn the day they were taken from us as well. Our nation...

I'm Good Explained
“I’m Good” was one of the last songs to be recorded for my new album, The Good Life. Lecrae and I actually wrote and recorded an entirely different song, and we liked it at first. But eventually we decided it was just pretty good; and we wanted to put out something great. So I played a few beats for him that I hadn’t written lyrics for yet, and we were both in love with...

The Greatest Love of All
Everybody wants to be loved. Whether we admit it or not, all of us have this natural desire to feel adored and appreciated by others. Many of us spend our entire lives searching for someone to love us, in hopes that somebody- anybody- will satisfy this longing inside.
Well if you’re planning to lose yourself in romance today and you’re hoping that you’ll finally satisfy that...

The Good Life
For the first half of 2011, I did no songs, no features, no shows, no nothing. I moved to Washington DC and took about 5 months off for a pastoral internship. Even though I wasn’t traveling the world and standing in front of a sea of people every night, it was one of the most fruitful seasons of my life. When the internship ended I started traveling again and slowly started working on new...
Courageous Leadership
Here’s MLK’s courageous leadership on display (not to mention some of the best writing I’ve ever read). He refuses to embrace unjust laws and refuses to wait patiently. He takes the initiative on behalf of a whole race of people. As a black man, I’m deeply grateful to God for the work accomplished through him. And as a Christian, I want to fight for justice just as hard as He did, keeping in...
Inspired By the Lowercase king
Today we celebrate the legacy of the foremost leader of the Civil Rights movement, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The Lord used this man to inspire a nation, and move a people towards equality. There is still work to be done, but his contribution was invaluable. No hero is perfect, and Dr. King was no exception, but I admire him in many ways and I’m inspired by his legacy. Here are three...
