Faith and Culture: A Personal Journey

This chapter explores the speaker's journey of faith within a progressive church in the late 1980s, where cultural expressions like graffiti and hip-hop were embraced. It contrasts the acceptance of diverse artistic expressions with conservative views on faith and pop culture, particularly in the realm of hip-hop music. The speaker reflects on how their upbringing in a Latino neighborhood shaped their identity and understanding of authentic faith, navigating the complexities of cultural differences in Christian communities.
