Rappin the Gospel: the journey of Fr. Stan of the Fransican Friars of the Renewal

Yes, that's the same religious order as Fr. Benedict Groeshel. Hat tip to LA Catholic and Open Book for the link. Why does he rap? "It transcends the linguistic barriers, the cultural barriers, even the inter-religious barriers," Stan said.

Having worked in Bronx High Schools for six out of seven of my years teaching, I can tell you that Hiphop culture is ripe mission territory.If Fr. Stan can save souls by peaching the gospel through rap, more power to him! Talk about evangelization. Remember the impact Nick Cannon's video "Let Me Live" had? Just imagine how much more a talented and passionate Fool could have.

May the Lord Jesus continue to bless Fr. Stan and the fabulous ministry he has. May many come to Christ and the Church through his devotion to the Lord and the talent of his art.
