Neo-Soul Faith |ˌnēō sōl fāθ| noun

Neo-soul is a theological concept that fuses contemporary methods and reformation style theology with elements of my heritage and history. As its name (new-soul) implies, Neo-Soul theology is essentially old school teachings, with contemporary attitudes and sensibilities. It differs from contemporary evangelicalism in that it’s obviously more soulful, and it also tends to have deeper messages and meanings. In general, neo-soul has remained almost exclusive to R&B music but it is long overdo that the same intellectual, theological, and emotional depth of this generation come to the forefront in HIS Kingdom.
