Kidnapped, enslaved, and forgotten—until God spoke in a dream. The story of Patrick isn’t just history; it’s an invitation. What happens when we say yes to God, even when it leads us back to the places we’d rather avoid?
I was just spent time with the most delightfully annoyed people. Little Caesar’s tiny lobby was overpacked and everyone’s orders were crazy behind. Yet everyone cracked jokes and laughed and talked about how nice it was to be stuck with non-angry people. When I left, the drive thru was wrapped around the building, which blocked…
Need some ambient music for prayer, worship, reading, or for some church event? My new album has ya covered. There are four tracks and each is an hour so you can do what you need to do without interruption. Thanks for listening!
Every month I go to the Fossores Chapter House here in Jackson, MI, which is a place every pastor should visit. It’s always a great, refreshing time where you learn a lot, eat a lot, and build up great relationships with other ministry leaders. On the final night, some of my instrumental music is played…
God’s love is justice. God’s love is extravagant. God’s love is pacifistic. God’s love is Jesus. These are just a few themes I got into with my friend, Pastor James Haldane, on the Para Podcast. I actually thoroughly enjoyed where this conversation went—especially on such a simple theme that can often be stated too simply.…

Thanks to Joel for having me on The Pastor’s Call Podcast! You can listen on Spotify or wherever you stream your podcasts!
So I have a co-worker that’s asking me about the ark but honestly I haven’t done a lot of research on it. Is there historical evidence to back it up? There is no evidence. There are many ancient stories about a giant flood, which implies collective memory of a large-scale event. But whether it did…
Jesus’ teachings on responding to our enemies are entirely backward from ours. For him, love is the highest principle, and we are to engage with those who hurt us in pacifistic ways that turn the tables. Jamin dives into these themes in this message.
The 2016 movie Arrival has much to say about language, sacrifice, and time—and so do Dallas and Jamin! In this episode, our pastoral co-hosts dive into these themes and more as they dissect a very meaningful and philosophical sci-fi movie.
