About this listen
M.I.S.S.I.S.S.I.P.P.I. is an open letter from the perspective of a native Mississippian departing from my home state for graduate school and to pursue a career in corporate America. In the midst of this, I took it upon myself to read about African American history through the means of autobiographies of iconic men and women in Black history. In my readings, I realized I was learning more about my home state than I did when I was living there. In addition, my encounters with people all over the world had a perspective of Mississippi that was heavily influenced by media outlets that didn't capture the full essence of what it really is like living in the state I grew up in.
This open letter is a child writing to its mother from afar expressing emotions untapped until becoming more knowledgeable of its mother as an adult. Whereas the child is the native Mississippian and the mother is the state itself.

Story
There are many things that seem normal or average today that at one point in time seemed absolutely crazy. Smartphones, Wi-Fi, and even the electric light bulb were all groundbreaking, history-making inventions that started out as crazy ideas. Our see-it-to-believe-it generation tends to have a hard time exercising true faith - one that steps out, takes action, and sees mountain-moving results. Many of us would rather play it safe and stand on the sidelines, but it’s crazy faith that helps us see God move and reveals His promises.

We all have a longing to be significant. We want to make a contribution, to be a part of something noble and purposeful. But many people wrongly believe significance is unattainable. They worry that it's too big for them to achieve. That they have to have an amazing idea, be a certain age, have a lot of money, or be powerful or famous to make a real difference. The good news is that none of those things is necessary for you to achieve significance and create a lasting legacy.

When you think of a Christian pastor, you probably don't envision a tattooed 30-something who wears a motorcycle jacket, listens to hip-hop music, references The Walking Dead and Black Lives Matter in his sermons, and every Sunday draws a standing-room only crowd to a venue normally used for rock concerts - in godless New York City, no less. But then you clearly have never met Carl Lentz. As head pastor of the first United States branch of global megachurch Hillsong, the former college basketball player is on a mission to make Christianity accessible in the 21st century.
