About this listen

 A deep exploration of the intersection of faith, creativity, and justice from acclaimed hip-hop artist and creative polymath Sho Baraka

“Sho has the courage to say what many are thinking and the candor to say what many are not. His words have positively influenced me for years—now this book gives the world that influence.”—Lecrae

You were created to help bring truth and beauty into this broken world. God made you with an imagination and a yearning for justice. No matter your calling or vocation, you can help shape a better world around you through your creativity.

But that doesn’t mean it will be easy. We are surrounded by toxic stories and bad cultural thinking. We’re held back by incomplete theology.

But does it have to be like that? Is frustration the end of the story?

In the face of confusion and injustice, we can lose sight of our true narrative—the one that started in a garden and wants to make our real lives better today.

In He Saw That It Was Good, activist and recording artist Sho Baraka wrestles deeply and honestly with these questions, gives you permission to do the same, and shows a hard-earned path to creative change. With Sho, you’ll engage with art, justice, and history. Learn from the powerful principles of historic movements, explore why it’s important to cultivate your creative calling (no matter what you do!), and discover a fresh look at how the gospel can transform how you see God, your neighbor, your work, and your world.

You’ll return to your biggest and truest story. Your life (and your world) need never be the same. Christian Living Christianity Creativity Personal Development

As a white Christian male who grew up in a comfortable multicultural world, making sense of things and especially being empathetic to those who have a journey from abroad. This continues to expand my understanding and respect that everyone, every culture has a deep rooted foundation of travel and pain. This pain and understanding we may never understand, but as Sho breaks down his heart and eyes as it has all been witnessed to him. She illustrates a great story that leaves you wanting to learn more. the amount he quotes, and challenges our eyes and heart of colour and faith is encouraging. For someone who has listened to his music since 116 clique debut album, it's great to see his unfolding journey in the world he grew up in.
I can see his mind grow and become a greater artist and articulator for truth.
keep going for Christ Sho.

Thought provoking, and relevant for us.
