Jesus did not arrive safely, comfortably, or legally secure. He fled by night, crossed borders, and lived in fear of returning home—because a politician wanted him dead. The Gospel doesn’t leave us room to sanitize this reality. If how we treat refugees is how we treat Jesus, then the question isn’t whether Christ was a…
“Jesus, what is this called?” I asked after my participant had a vision of Jesus pulling their shame out of them. “Boosh,” Jesus replied in the vision. I pulled out my phone to research the word and discovered it was the biblical Hebrew word for shame. Shame is a powerful force that I’ve dealt with…
In Numbers 9, it’s pretty clear that Israel didn’t move unless God’s cloud or fire led them somewhere else. But in Numbers 10, a team of Israelites sought a place to go next, and the cloud went with them. What do we do with these opposing stories? Jamin offers a suggestion based on the dynamic…
I take a great liking to C.S. Lewis—especially The Chronicles of Narnia. It took a few months, but my tattoo artist just wrapped up work on my tattoo sleeve of a Narnia map. I may be done with tattoos, but if I decide to keep going, I’ll be turning my other arm into a Lord…
Different demons have different weaknesses when they manifest, and it takes discernment to pinpoint each one. I’ve seen some panic and scream when they hear worship music. Some go into great pain over simple touch. Some dry-heave when I ask the person to regain control over their body. Some don’t like hearing tongues. But all…
Few topics are messier than that of Christians and politics. Depending on what part of the Bible you read, you’ll be told to listen to everything the government says or to challenge it prophetically. When do we challenge? How do we challenge? Why do we challenge? As I wrap up my master’s degree on theology…
During our Spare Oom worship night last night, I spontaneously made up a 45-minute song. About 15 minutes in, two people started recording it on their iPhones. Because it ended up being a meaningful time for most, I merged their recordings into a single one. It’s not high quality or anything, but if you need…
Supernatural healing is complicated because it revolves around a realm we can’t fully see or understand. That being said, when you pray for healing and it doesn’t happen, there are a few things to take into account: Supernatural Sickness VS Natural Sickness Some people are naturally sick, while others are supernaturally sick. For example, it’s…
We live in the world of express evangelism. We work hard to get people to pray a prayer. We run large emotional conferences where people come up to receive Jesus by the thousands. We preach cheap grace with a works-free gospel and then allow people to return home without changing. All we teach people to…
Sometimes you have an experience of God that is so great that everything changes and revolves around that moment. Moses had plenty of such moments, but we often reflect on his experience on the mountaintop with God. In this message, I get into several topics, including cosmology, spirituality, theosis, the image of God, spiritual gifts,…
So you’re waiting for the end to come and you need a guide! Fortunately for you, there are a few thousand crazy people to choose from, because people have been saying that this is the end since the first century of the church. To some extent, they’re all correct, because the end-times are the period…
