  • Prophets in the Cypher: Justice, Lament, and Hip Hop with Nique Love Rhodes

    In this episode of The Dusty Needle Gospel, Jamin sits down with Detroit-based rapper and long-time friend, Nique Love Rhodes for a conversation that moves between scripture and street poetry, lament and lyricism, protest and praise.

  • Questions About the Holy Spirit — Answered

    Why does Pentecost often feel overshadowed by Christmas and Easter? What does it mean to be baptized in the Holy Spirit? Why did the Spirit come on that feast day? In this Pentecost Q&A, I explore the Holy Spirit as the overlooked person of the Trinity, the firstfruits of new creation, and the divine wind…

  • Why A Great Awakening Didn’t Work for Me as a Film

    A thoughtful critique of A Great Awakening—a film about George Whitefield, Benjamin Franklin, and revival in colonial America that slowly reveals itself to be something else entirely: a nostalgic argument for Christian nationalism. While the production shines at points, the storytelling, revival scenes, and political framing raise deeper questions about how Christians tell history and…

  • Pray with Annoyance

    Whenever it’s time to go outside, Galadriel always brings a toy with her. She knows I will take it from her at the door and that she can’t take it outside, but she decides it’s always worth asking anyway. Jesus taught us to pray like this.

  • The Sound of Redemption: When God Meets You in the Small Crowd

    A disillusioning conference. A forgotten testimony. A quiet, holy fulfillment years later. This is the story of how God redeemed a calling in music—not through fame or industry success, but through presence, community, and Spirit-filled creativity. And it’s still happening.

  • Where Heaven Meets Dirt: The Lost Mountain of Eden

    What if Eden wasn’t just a garden—but a mountain where Heaven and Earth collided? Scripture hints at a forgotten cosmic geography that reframes humanity’s purpose. From ancient mountains to the mission of Jesus, discover how Eden becomes a blueprint for renewing the entire world.

  • Idolatry Isn’t Simply Replacing God—It’s Redesigning Him

    What if Israel’s famous act of idolatry wasn’t choosing a different god—but reshaping the true one? From the golden calf to modern Christianity, we’ve been tempted to remake God in our own image. The question isn’t whether we worship Jesus… but whether we’re worshiping the real one.

  • Thrones, Powers, and Principalities: A Better Theology of Politics

    What if our modern theology of politics is far too simple—and dangerously wrong? The Bible doesn’t paint a picture where every ruler is handpicked by God in a neat, predictable way. Instead, it reveals a cosmic drama of spiritual powers, human leaders, and seats of authority that can be used for justice—or deeply abused. To…

  • When Hell Made a Mistake: Holy Saturday and the Reckoning of Christ

    What if Holy Saturday wasn’t silent at all—but the moment everything began to crack? When death took a sinless man, it overstepped its authority. And in that divine injustice, something cosmic shifted. This is the story of the day hell made a fatal mistake.
