Trip Lee
Most people think worship is about their personal connection with God.
But worship isn’t just personal—it’s formative.
In this episode, Trip Lee challenges the way many churches approach worship today. Instead of seeing it as a personal moment with God, he reframes it as a corporate act of discipleship that shapes what people believe, feel, and carry into their week.
You’ll discover why participation matters more than performance, how songs disciple your church, and why lament belongs in worship just as much as celebration.

About Trip Lee
Trip Lee, Dallas-born rapper, author, former pastor, husband, and father, has spent nearly two decades shaping Christian music and culture. Though some believed his 2022 return with The End marked the closing of a chapter, Trip has only stepped deeper into his calling. After releasing two projects since his comeback, he now enters a new creative era with BRAG Worship, an expansion of his BRAG umbrella inspired by the idea of “Brag On My Lord”: a bold anthem declaring that every believer is “built to brag” on God. What began as a cultural pushback against self-exaltation has grown into a brand and ministry space dedicated to anchoring confidence, identity, and celebration firmly in Jesus.
BRAG Worship is the natural evolution of that vision: a musical collective and creative space designed to center worship on the greatness of God while expanding the sound and expression of modern worship. Trip founded BRAG Worship to break open the boxes around what worship “should” sound like and invite the Church into something distinctive, diverse, and deeply communal. “I’m not a worship leader, but I am a worshipper,” Trip says. “This music, this collective… it’s for us. This is my expression of it.” In early 2026, BRAG Worship will debut with his EP For Your Glory, featuring collaborators such as Naomi Raine, DOE, Jonathan Traylor, Lead Smith, and Madison Ryann Ward.
At the heart of BRAG Worship is Trip’s lifelong desire to help the Church boast in the Lord, rooted in Jeremiah 9:23–24. The movement calls believers back to the kind of boasting Scripture celebrates, not in human strength or success, but in truly knowing the God who delights in kindness, justice, and righteousness. As Trip’s pastoral years in Atlanta and Dallas showed him, worship is a vital discipleship tool. “It puts truth and hope into people’s hearts,” he shares. “We can sing truth together, worshipping through song does something sermons can’t.”
Trip’s journey began two decades ago after a providential meeting with Lecrae and the Reach Records team, launching a career that now includes eight acclaimed albums, two books, and widespread influence across Christian Hip Hop. Even while navigating chronic illness since college, Trip has remained committed to serving the Church through preaching, teaching, and crafting music that points people to Jesus.
With For Your Glory, Trip brings that commitment into a fresh sonic world. From the title track, an anthem of praise in both joy and hardship, to “Fortress” featuring Naomi Raine, which reminds listeners that our weaknesses reveal God’s strength, the EPs stretch the boundaries of genre while honoring what worship already is. Trip isn’t trying to change the worship music landscape; he’s joining it in his own unique way, offering songs that invite the global Church to sing, rejoice, and boldly boast in God’s greatness…together.
