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?
Call it what you want: Egypt, Babylon, America—living for the Kingdom of Heaven run by Yahweh while living in the kingdoms of this earth run by the false gods has always been a challenge—but it’s been a challenge that has often been there, as we’ll see in today’s Bible stories which feature people like Joseph…
In today’s service we take a look at the themes of Romans 10, including the simplicity of the gospel, salvation by faith, the inclusion of the Gentiles, and how the gospel has somehow been declared to all people.
Both Joseph and Daniel are examples of people in the Scriptures who are gifted with the Holy Spirit to interpret dreams. This lines up well with Jesus’ parables and his expectations that some would understand them and others wouldn’t. Check it out on today’s episode of JXN Cloud!

And with this post, my new project, JXN Foodie is officially launched! Jackson, MI has a ton of great food to offer and I’ve wanted to make this webpage for awhile. I realize there’s only a few dishes mentioned at the moment, but there’s a lot more to come as we continue to update it.…
Ever since the pandemic hit, the supernatural has felt uncommon for me. Rather than sense the Spirit at work in even the most subtle of ways, these days have often felt reminiscent of Samuel’s time, where “the word of the Lord was rare in those days; there was no frequent vision” (1 Samuel 3:1). But over the…
Romans 9 is a difficult passage to process. Is there free will or is everything predestined? How does judgment work? Jamin starts with the story of Pharoah in Exodus and then moves into Romans 9 to continue the conversation.
Welcome to the 1208-Bit Nerd Church Podcast, where nerd culture and faith intersect as we comment on the spiritual themes that “arise” in the different mediums that we nerds love. Today we’re taking a look at some of the insights brought to light by Bandai-Namco’s latest JRPG, Tales of Arise—which is hands down the most…
