Hey, friends, welcome back to another episode of Theology.

My guest today is the one and only Street Hems, who is a musical and spoken word artist, writer, producer, and battle rapper.

Street has been a regular performing artist at the Exiles and Babylon Conference, and he's literally one of the most creative and talented people I know.

And he's become a good friend over the years.

And this conversation is, well, you'll just have to wait and see it is it's very it's not

linear it's very circular both street and I have a habit of chasing shiny objects as they pop into

our head so that's kind of where we're going. Street is also working on an extensive manga series.

And if you don't know what that is, you will soon find out. So please welcome back to the show.

The Wonderling Street Hems.

All right, Street Hymns. Good to have you back on the podcast. I haven't seen you since Exiles, which you crushed it, by the way. Do you ever self-assess like your quote-unquote,

I mean, performance? Maybe that's not the best, you know, term. But do you, I mean, performance.

Maybe that's not the best, you know, term.

But do you walk away from an event saying, man, I think that went really well?

Because I think that your last performance is, I mean, everything you've done at Exile has been off the chart.

But the last one was just really particularly special in my mind.

Yeah. I gauge it off of the response of the audience a lot of times rather than my own, because I'm my biggest critic. So for me,

it's one of those moments where I'm reflecting on how I could have delivered that line better, how I could have performed

that moment better and things like that. But yeah, the overwhelming appreciation that I received

after the conference was definitely something. I'm like, oh, wow, like, I, I loved being able to be used in this way

at this time. Because the first few days were easier, you know, and I remember you sent me

an email and you addressed, you were having a conversation on church and transgenderism and transitioned.

And you were like, hey, you don't have to do a spoken word on this.
