Empowerment Houses for the Homeless
Our #GivingTuesday campaign has begun and you can give quickly and directly via Facebook! What are we raising money for? Well that all starts with a story: Around the start of 2019, our church received word that Loretta—a neighbor of ours—had ended up in the hospital and wasn’t expected to survive. At the same time…

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 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…
