By His stripes we are healed from our sin. He was killed and was buried in a tomb that was sealed. But on the third day, He rose and revealed the only thing that's defeated is death, my Savior lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During a visit to the Garden Tomb in Jerusalem last year, Christian hip-hop artist Steven Malcolm felt himself overcome with emotion, quickly inspired to deliver a spoken-word reflection on the Passion of Christ.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>STEVEN MALCOLM<\/strong><br \/>\nChristian hip-hop artist <br \/>\n<em>\u201cI remember being in Israel and just getting this feeling, this urge of the Gospel needing to really be spread. A lot of people in this genre shy away from truth and Jesus. Me, I just have a push in my heart.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The sensation Malcolm felt in the Holy City is the same one he's been feeling for nearly a decade since becoming a believer in his hometown of Grand Rapids, Michigan. However, the church he frequented might not be considered conventional by most people.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>His regular attendance at a non-denominational \u201chip-hop church\u201d eventually developed into a call to lead worship. It was there on that stage that Malcolm began to see the unique way the Scriptures affected people when translated into music.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>STEVEN MALCOLM<\/strong><br \/>\nChristian hip-hop artist <br \/>\n<em>\u201cI think the music really is a tool to impact, inspire and motivate people. Motivating Christians to not just sit in the pews, but to get up and actually go make disciples.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>While he continues to lead worship at the church, Malcolm heard a call to share his words on a wider scale. It culminated in the release of his debut, self-titled album in early 2017.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Just one year later, he's gearing up for his sophomore project. In the artist's words \u2013 and what's clear in his music \u2013 is that, unlike his hip-hop contemporaries, Steven Malcolm \u201csold out for Jesus.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>June 1, 2018.
