By applying as their motto the charge of Rav Sha’ul (Paul) in II Timothy 4:2, "preach the Word, be urgent in season and out of season; convince, rebuke, and exhort – be unfailing in patience and in teaching", using the medium of hip-hop culture and through the scriptures they strive to: 1) Convince the non-believer of the Messiahship of Jesus and their need for Him as Redeemer and Lord. 2) Encourage and admonish the believer to trust the Word of God in faith and knowledge. 3) Adhere to and teach the sound doctrine which was taught by the Lord and his disciples.

Thi'sl

In the eyes of the world, I’m probably just another kid off the streets that knows how to rhyme over beats. Though I know I have a purpose and only through God did I find that purpose
— Thi’sl

Thi’sl (This House I Shall Live) was born in Mississippi but raised in St Louis by his single mother. Like so many before him, Thi’sl started rapping as a way to express himself. His mother was addicted to drugs, he was running with a gang and he dropped out of high school in the tenth grade to sell drugs full time.

In 1999, God moved Thi’sl heart so forcibly that he committed his life to Christ. Since then he has found his purpose. First and foremost to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ, secondly to reverence God his creator with his music and life, and lastly as an artist to make hip-hop music that glorifies God.

His mission through rap music is two sided. One side is to present a proper picture of Jesus to the hip hop culture; how Jesus intends for us to live while on this earth. The other side is to make awareness to the church, discipleship, and local missions on how important it is for them not to forsake the urban culture.

He currently lives in St Louis, MO with his wife and children and attends New Direction Christian Church where he is a Minister.

Shai Linne

Shai Linne is living proof that God has a wonderful sense of humor. He once told his mom that he would never, ever become a Christian, completely oblivious to the fact that God had chosen him to be a Christian before time began. He doesn’t like the spotlight, so God gave him natural gifts that put him on stage as an actor. He doesn’t like to be in front of people, so God gave him spiritual gifts that are mostly public in nature. Shai has appeared on numerous independent and national Christian Hip-hop releases, including his 2005 full-length debut, The Solus Christus Project. All this from someone who doesn’t like hip-hop and never pursued a career in music. Someone in heaven is having a big laugh at his expense.
