Thanks to all of the local 1208 Greenwood artists who made our sometimes-playful, sometimes-serious, multi-genred, Narnia-themed, Christmas album! It was so much fun to make. Here’s a look at the tracks: Tell Me a Myth | An acoustic song about finding God in the mythological parts of the Bible and Narnia. Green Green Christmas |…
New believers still have so much to learn and do after getting saved and we have effectively truncated their life in Jesus and belittled Christianity if we have taught them that their religion is no more than saying the sinner’s prayer. John Wesley knew this kind of simple-minded Christianity could happen in ministry and worked…
What’s up with God coming down to earth with some angels to see if Sodom and Gomorrah are as bad as the reports have made them out to be? Strangely enough, this isn’t the only case where angels seem to be operating as policemen in the Bible. Let’s talk more about that. Check out today’s…

So uh… we gonna talk about this? Yes… yes we are. (And for that reason this episode is probably not for kids.)
It’s not every day you turn 100 years old and have a son who will somehow give way to you eventually becoming a father of many nations. God’s amazing covenant with Abraham will touch everything that is to come in the Bible story, including our lives today.
At the end of Revelation, all things will be made right, and that means that all things that are wrong with the world will need to be done away with. Everything has been corrupted—even the ground is cursed (Gen 3:17)—and only Jesus can fix it, for all power and authority are in His hands. Those…
