Revelation Q&A 1
Revelation is a very confusing book, but it’s more understandable than you might think if you come at it from the perspective of the scholars and theologians who know it best. In this introduction to our new series, Jamin invites to see this book as letter, prophecy, and apocalypse. He then answers any questions people…

A Low Whisper
Hearing God’s voice is a bit different for everyone, but whatever the case may be for you, getting quiet is typically what all Christians need do to hear Him. This is illustrated by the famous story of Elijah on a mountain, waiting to meet with God. And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and…

Thinking God’s Thoughts
While I was originally taught that prophecy died out long ago, my supernatural experiences in college began to teach me that it is still entirely possible to hear the voice of God.

When the Son of Man…

A God as Big as the Multiverse (Pt 5)
Scientists have been messing around with the theory of multiverse for sometime, which we love to play out the idea of in our books, movies and tv shows. It’s hard to see beyond our own night sky, let alone our entire universe, so we can only speculate about the existence of a multiverse, but surprisingly, when…

Free Will and Predestination (Pt 4)
If everything is truly set in stone and going exactly how God planned it to happen, then every conversation He has with us is somewhat disingenuous, isn’t it? If we believe there’s no free will and God gives us a prophetic word that involves making a choice, then we must also believe that there really…
