Like all Americans, I grew up looking at a flag with my hand over my heart as I pledged my life to it at schools, sports, and even church. It had the word “God” in it, so I figured I was on the right track, but as I grew up, I started to note too…
I’ve got three new singles out this week! I believe Descend is the best lyrics I’ve penned to date. Cherry Blossom Winter is a chill little string instrumental. And Curvature Fields is a chill little piano instrumental, which at the moment is live on Apple Music, but not Spotify yet. It should pop up tonight…
The modern evangelical view of the cosmos is a fairly simplistic one: all of the earth is going to burn away while Christians go to a spiritual place called Heaven.1 However, this view does not match the wider picture of the Bible. To see the full portrait, all we need to do is look at…

In this message, Jamin walks through stories of power and wealth throughout the Bible and then points us toward the grand socio-economic reversal that is to come.
In this Easter message, Jamin explains how the resurrected age that is to come is already breaking into the world around us today, and how Christians can holistically be a part of it.
