 Decription

 So you've got some "color"to your mix and you've noticed that Trick Daddy, Puffy, and Tupac are some artists that your students are listening to. Well, regardless of race, demographics, or socioeconomic status, young people are influenced by popular urban culture. Whether they live in the city, or not chances are they're confronted with the influences, issues, and challenges that come with an urban-saturated youth culture. This session will offer some insights into those challenges and expose you to some tools that will ready you for a better-equipped and more urban-inclusive ministry.
