Jackie Hill Perry is known in the Christian hip-hop world as one of the premiere female emcees, putting her spoken word sensibilities to a beat. Even as she continues to challenge us musically and lyrically with the release of Crescendo, music isn't Jackie's only ministry.
A gifted and anointed speaker, she has shared with countless churches, conferences and media outlets, preaching the word, sharing her personal testimony and serving as a firestarter of social justice.
The following are 10 examples on YouTube where Jackie has dropped sizable truth bombs on her varied audiences. There are plenty more examples than this, but you'll find plenty of memorable nuggets of truth as you watch these excerpts from Jackie Hill Perry.
"Five Reasons Christians Need to Laugh More"
"Let me color the walls in new meaning, let me unclothe what age has hidden... No wonder the faithful are told to be children. God didn't pay all this blood for them not to enjoy themselves.
"The Fall"
"[We] take the commands of God and say that they're not commands at all but they're just words that are open to our own subjective interpretations of what they mean. Where we choose what is sin and what isn't and we're living under the deception that disobedience is not disobedience if I have defined the terms of what I am to obey."
"Deadbeat [ A Conversation with My Father ]"
"I have spent years swallowing every hourglass I could find attempting to steal back the time that we had."
"What Is A Woman?"
"We all learn to be by imitation or indoctrination. Mama and media can't help but train. Tutor us into carbon copies of themselves so then knowing who we are or what we should be is really understanding whose costumes we wear on most days."
"Are Headship and Submission Issues of Competence or Calling?"
"I truly believe that all of this has to do with Glory. If you look at Genesis 1:27... [God] gave them gender and He gave them gender distinctions for His glory. If we know anything about satan then we understand that Satan hates God's glory. If Satan hates God's glory then you have to know he will frustrate something in you to hate it as well--to hate those distinctions, to think they should be blurred or be something different than what God says they are."
"How to Resist Temptation to Sin"
"Foundationally I really work hard at really trying to love Jesus more. Jesus says if you love me, you will obey my commandments. I had read that like if you love me, you'll obey me. Now I know that the tone is if you love me, then you will obey me. If I don't love him more... then when sin presents itself naturally I'm going to assume the sin is better than God."
"Mark 2:13-17"
"Truth be told the main thing that has to be sacrificed is yourself. We cannot follow Jesus and sin and maintain an allegiance to ourselves, our rights, our desires... anything that keeps you from Him must die so you may follow Him, and Him alone."
"Prophetic Witness"
"All of creation must reckon with the reality that they are indeed created and being so, they are subjected to the will of the Creator."
"How the Gospel and being made in the image of God informs social justice"
"I think if you look at social justice in the sense of me loving people who are oppressed, then you would see that Jesus did that. God consistently did that throughout the Old Testament, even to the point that He would rebuke nations and people who were not walking in justice. God wants us, if anybody should be living their life for the service and honor and dignity of another, it should be Christians."
"God Calls Our Whole Self to Holiness"
"Hear me: Heterosexuality is not the goal, per se. Holiness is the goal, because once I get to know Jesus, then He works out all the rest."
