True Identity
Rapper Still Shadey leads a service to encourage young people to find their purpose in life.
Still Shadey, a Christian rapper from South London shares his experience of finding faith and turning away from a life in gangs in his music.
He also leads a mentoring charity which encourages young people to find their purpose in life and fosters discussions about social injustice and knife crime. This summer Still Shadey has been running a mentoring programme at Merky HQ (Stormzy's youth centre), in Croydon, working with 60 young people to find their creative voices and explore their identity, creating their own lyrics to his song Mirror Mirror.
In this Sunday Worship, recorded at one of these workshops, Still Shadey leads a service exploring identity and purpose based around Psalm 139.
There are contributions from the young people, mentors and speakers including Amani Simpson and Lord Michael Hastings who has committed much of his life to mentoring young people, including Still Shadey.
The music will be a mix of new and classic gospel songs recorded by Melodees from Heaven (The Anthem Choir); Everlasting God, Amazing Grace, Kirk Franklin's Imagine me, Oceans (Hillsong) and Still Shadey's Order my Steps.
Producer: Miriam Williamson
Sound engineers: Chris Banner (location) & Jo Langton (music)
