  • Terribly Practical: The Witchcraft of Using People

    Some people treat others like tools—only valuable if they’re useful. But the Bible tells a different story: you were made in God’s image, not to be used, but to be loved and partnered with. Jesus shows us a better way.

  • A Dem Fine Woman: The Allure of Sin in Narnia

    Jadis, the White Witch of Narnia, is a chilling portrait of sin—beautiful, powerful, and deadly. Even those who escape her grasp often remember her with unsettling fondness. This post explores the deceptive beauty of sin, the cycle of temptation, and the need to stay close to Aslan to leave it behind for good.

  • The Magician’s Sin: Uncle Andrew and the Ethics of Inquiry

    C.S. Lewis used the character of Uncle Andrew to explore how scientific inquiry can veer into dark territory when ethics are cast aside. In this reflection, we examine Lewis’s critique of vivisection, the overlap of science and the occult, and what true dominion looks like in a world created by a loving God.

  • Deep Magic and Deeper Meanings: Reading Narnia with New Eyes

    Join me on a journey through Oxford as I revisit the world of C.S. Lewis and explore the spiritual depth of Narnia. In this series, I reflect on how the Holy Spirit can illuminate hidden meanings in Lewis’s work—even beyond what he may have intended. There’s always more to the story when deep magic is…

  • Anxious Like Jesus

    Jesus tells us not to be anxious—but how do we actually live that out when anxiety feels like it’s running the show? In this honest and hope-filled message, Jamin shares his own story of wrestling with fear, and how surrendering to God helped him find peace in the storm. He also considers how Jesus himself…

  • Crowd Control and Christology: A Study in the Messianic Secret

    Why did Jesus sometimes hide his miracles and tell people not to speak of them? In this post, we explore how the Gospels—especially Mark—present Jesus as intentionally concealing his power to avoid the crushing fame and danger that miraculous healing and resurrection would bring. Through the story of Jairus’ daughter, we consider what happens when…

  • Divine Romance: Understanding God’s Faithful Love

    God’s love for us is not distant or mechanical — it’s personal, passionate, and deeply intimate. In this message, Jamin explores the biblical language of romance and marriage used to describe God’s pursuit of His people, inviting us to see our relationship with Him as a living, breathing bond of love rather than mere religious…

  • Alien Encounters or Demonic Deceptions? | New Episode from The Exorcist’s Bestiary

    In this episode of The Exorcist’s Bestiary, Jamin, Amity, and Tasha dive headfirst into the strange world of aliens, abduction stories, and UFO cults. Are these experiences just science fiction? Or is there a deeper spiritual reality at play?

  • Holy Hoedown: Bluegrass Easter Celebration

    Celebrate the joy of resurrection with a toe-tappin’, Spirit-filled Holy Hoedown! This special Easter service brought together faithful hearts as we lifted up old-time hymns in a bluegrass style. We rejoiced in the power of Jesus’ resurrection and the eternal life He gives. He is risen!

  • The Body Between Worlds

    This Easter message explores the mystery of Jesus’ transformation—from the spiritual Angel of the Lord to the incarnate Son, to the glorified, resurrected body that merges heaven and earth. In His body, we glimpse our future: a redeemed, resurrected humanity that will shine with the glory of God.
