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?
The only glimpse we get of a church service in the Bible looks very little like the church services we hold today. As we pray and think about what a relaunch of 1208 might look like, how can we incorporate the Bible’s church service values into 1208? And how can we use these values to…
Today we start a brand new series on the JXN Cloud on the Book of Revelation. Many of you might be like me where you tried to stay away from this book because it was weird and… well… bloody. But as I’ve studied it over the last few years I’ve found that the messages this…
This week we’re spending time in prayer so when we gather for service on Sunday we can talk about what relaunching 1208 in the post-pandemic world looks like. If you want to pray with us we’d appreciate it Or if you don’t currently have a church and want to join us for the ride, come…
In Romans 12 we come across a famous passage reminding us that the church is a body, not a building, a Sunday service, or a pastor. Therefore, if a church is going to work correctly, all who are a part of the church need to recognize that God has gifted them to be able to…
I realize I already made a post on Christianity and horror today, but I made this podcast right before I did so. So here’s to those who want to go a little deeper in this 1208-Bit Nerd Church Podcast episode! In this Halloween episode we reflect upon the horror of horrors: the cross of Jesus.…
In many ways, Halloween is a recognition of horror, which we as Christians know pretty well. After all, our gospel is one that finds redemption, forgiveness, and the overthrowing of evil in the horrors of a man stripped naked, whipped to pieces, and then nailed through his wrists to a piece of wood and hung…
When I look at the songs I’ve penned over the years, many of them share the theme of nature. I can’t help it apparently. Anytime I’m surrounded by nature, I feel I find myself quickly in the presence of God and I can’t help but praise him for all of his goodness. I know that…
I immediately hit traffic as I pulled off the highway into downtown Detroit on the evening of March 24th, 2016. Cars were looking for any open parking spot they could find so that they could attend an event at the Fox Theatre. A line wrapped around the building as thousands of people scanned their tickets…
As Jacob is breathing his last, he gathers his family together to prophesy that which is to come for the tribes of Israel. Some of his words for his kids come with blessing for the way they have behaved in life, while some of his words are… well… not very pleasant at all. Of special…
Believe it or not, the thought that alien life might exist is actually a very old idea. In the 4th-3rd century B.C., the Greek philosopher Epicurus taught that “we must believe that in all worlds there are living creatures and plants and other things we see in this world.” The debate began to rage when…
