In this interview after the Arizona Gospel Music Convention on September 7, 2008, Da' T.R.U.T.H,. a graduate of Jewish Studies at Philadelphia Biblical University and Stellar Award Winner, is sure to challenge you to become more studied in the Christian faith as 2 Timothy 2:15 tells us.
So what does Da' T.R.U.T.H. stand for?
Well, it means, I cheated, but it means To Reach "U" Through Him.
What was the inspiration behind the "Open Book"? You are very transparent on this album.
You know when I look at the YouTube; when I click thousands of people are watching us on television and typically when we minister on stage we are talking high lofty theological stuff, necessarily, I believe. Not that we are trying to impress anybody or get fancy with the Bible, it's because I think we start to seek to communicate stuff that's high in priority scripturally to this generation.
So I figured that in working on the third record and even on the albums ["Moment of Truth" and "The Faith"] there's high theological stuff, especially "The Faith". I did it intentionally. I intentionally talked over peoples heads, just a little bit because, I wanted the church to have to reach, I wanted the younger generations to have to reach to get it. Or say I don't get it now but then as they grow then they could appreciate it, that kind of thing. I wanted to make an album had that kind of effect.
So going into my third record, I went real practical. I wanted to just get real practical. You know because I think that's what you find in scripture when Paul is writing the epistles, it's doctrine, doctrine, doctrine, doctrine, doctrine...Chapter 1 of Romans...Chapter 2 of Romans....all the way up to Chapter 12. Then, he gets into duty, the practical stuff. Same thing with Ephesians 1, 2, 3 and 4 are all doctrinal, 5 and 6 [are] practical. That's how the epistles are written. So I figured, my first, my second [albums] start heavy theologically [and] doctrinally. My third [album] real practical.
