Temitope - Embracing Identity, Multiculturalism, & Trusting Jesus in the Journey

<p>Nick talks with Temitope about the struggles of being in the “middle space” as an artist, his new “Meji” EP, and the beauty of embracing ourselves as God made us to be. Temitope shares about the peculiarities of growing up in America as a non-African American black man, approaching conversations with a heart truly bent toward Gospel reconciliation, and what it looks like to trust Jesus when we’re tempted to be envious.</p> <p>Temitope Peters a songwriter, artist, worship leader, and social activist. He’s released several projects including his recent “Meji” EP. He describes his music as “horizontal worship” in hopes that it mobilizes the Church to love well, especially those that are different than us. Born to Nigerian and British immigrants and raised in San Diego, Temitope is a living embodiment of the idea of multiculturalism.</p> <p><strong>TEMITOPE</strong></p> <p>Follow<strong> </strong>Temitope on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/iamtemitope/">@iamtemitope</a>&nbsp;</p> <p>Listen &amp; follow Temitope on Spotify: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/2YrmP8ksRyeEVkzYp5to25?si=1cUu3_LgTtGnpPO_9AHy9A">https://open.spotify.com/artist/2YrmP8ksRyeEVkzYp5to25?si=1cUu3_LgTtGnpPO_9AHy9A</a></p> <p>Watch “The Reconciler’s Guide” series: <a href="https://iamtemitope.com/projects/">iamtemitope.com/projects/</a></p> <p>Follow the Lumpy Couch (formerly “Join the Family”) on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thelumpycouch/">@thelumpycouch</a>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>MUSIC</strong></p> <p>Temitope’s new EP “Meji” can be heard wherever you listen to music.</p> <p><strong>THE SECRET CHORD</strong></p> <p>For new episode info follow TSC on Instagram @thesecretchordpodcast</p> <p>Theme music by Mountaintops: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/7d4GxDYKKKb6wzu3tQIBrW?si=vCCkGo1KS3yuZTZuG-fe2Q">https://open.spotify.com/artist/7d4GxDYKKKb6wzu3tQIBrW?si=vCCkGo1KS3yuZTZuG-fe2Q</a></p>
