  • Mary’s Peace

    NEW PODCAST: When we look at the themes that Mary sang about in her Magnificat, we realize partially where Jesus’ heart for prophetic justice came from.


  • At David’s Promise, I pastor adults with diverse abilities. My job there invites me to simplify Bible stories which sometimes helps me to see them in a new and simple light that I sometimes miss when the theologian in me is analyzing every last part of a story. Here’s how I shared the Christmas story…


  • Your favorite musical curmudgeon is back! Don’t get me wrong—I love music. I just have become increasingly hard to impress over the years. It may be that I have great taste, but it’s most certainly that I’m just old. You can check out the albums that got my attention in the first half here. Below…


  • A friend of mine has spent over two decades creating and playtesting a game where you role-play as angels. He’s cut through a lot of the cheese that surrounds Christian gaming and media and worked hard to create something fun that truly honors the deep theology that exists around the spiritual realm in biblical scholarship.…


  • “Hi Mama.” I wonder if the Holy Spirit (also known as the Spirit of Christ) sounded like that the first time Mary heard him speak. What a bizarre spiritual experience she would have had, being the only person in the world to carry Jesus physically in her womb and spiritually in her heart—the same voice…


  • Mary’s Hope

    NEW EPISODE: In this message, Jamin lights the advent candle of hope and talks about how Mary embodied hope, gave birth to hope, and cultivated hope. How do we do the same?


  • Amongst God’s heavenly family was a very specific Son of God, who served as a very special angel. He carried the title of the messenger of Yahweh—or the Angel of the Lord. This angel appears many times throughout the Old Testament, but there’s something very different about him. He doesn’t just pass along messages from…


  • Nobody wants to hear the prophets because they have entered Yahweh’s Kingdom of Heaven and returned with a critique of the gods’ Kingdom of Babel. Such a message is especially annoying to the rich and powerful, for Babel has benefited them quite well and they do not desire an alternative way of doing things. Indeed,…


  • Throughout the Bible, we catch glimpses of Yahweh calling his heavenly family together to meet with him. In such meetings, Yahweh’s family members might report on the affairs of earth that they had witnessed (Gen. 18:20–21; Job 1:6; Zech. 1:10; Matt 18:10), or they might help Yahweh arrange earthly judgments (1 Ki. 22:13–23; Dan. 4:17),…


  • The supernatural world of the Bible is overflowing with spiritual beings of varied authority, job descriptions, and backgrounds. At the top of this hierarchy is Yahweh himself—Lord of lords and God of gods (Deut. 10:17). He is the creator of Heaven and earth and all that exists. Underneath him are the little-g-gods that he created,…
