  • As odd as it may sound, some of C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien’s fiction seemed to write itself. They spent time piecing together images in their mind and incorporated dreams they had into their works to come up with stories like that of Narnia and Lord of the Rings. The Nerd Church crew discusses this…


  • Skin

    Many Christians have a very negative view of skin. But in this Christmas message, Jamin talks about the goodness of skin and God’s redemption of it through God, who put on skin himself as Jesus.
