• Spiritual World: The Rush & the Rest Preview

      The Bible believed in a highly supernatural world and confirms it all throughout its writings. The battle between good and evil spiritual forces is one of the broad narratives of Scripture and my new book, The Rush and the Rest, aims to paint this picture for us in detail.

  • Prophecy: Rush & the Rest Preview

    We often misunderstand prophecy, which Paul understood to be an incredibly important spiritual gift that Christians were to earnestly desire. I spend a fair amount of time in my new book, The Rush and the Rest, trying to help people understand and move in this gifting in its various forms. The video above explains more.

  • Christian Identity

    In today’s podcast I dive into the large strokes the Bible paints of the spiritual realm from Genesis to Revelation and how it relates to Christian identity. As it ends up, though we live humble and meek lives, the Christian is no little deal and infused with power from the Holy Spirit. This picture is…

  • Mary’s Magnificat

    Watching inexpressible joy swell up inside someone is a wonderful thing to witness. You may recall seeing it happen to Mary in the Christmas story. One moment she’s talking to her relative Elizabeth about how God has supernaturally blessed her with a baby and the next she’s bursting into song (Lk 1:39-56). It makes for…

  • What is Joy?

    In my first few months of pastoring, I decided I was going to preach on the topic of joy. Our newly relaunched church was that of two churches becoming one and this brought with it some awkwardness and confusion. We had to figure out who we were and what pieces of each church would continue…

  • Neuroscience and Violence

    Our capacity for violence is partially found in the science of who we are. Your brain has been wired in such a way that when you feel triggered or threatened, you fight. Derek Flood explains the neuroscience in his book, Disarming Scripture. When the amygdala goes into alarm mode it shuts down the part of…

  • Social Networking & the Local Church

    Social networking is a strange beast. You may get 3 likes on a project you spent a whole year working on and 30 likes on a funny statement that came up at the dinner table. You just don’t always know what to expect. Likewise, you may make a huge announcement on your church’s Facebook page and…

  • Hell Wasn’t Made for Humanity

    We often struggle with the idea of Hell because we misunderstand its purpose. We act as though God has made a special place for humans to suffer, when in fact, Hell was made for rebellious spiritual beings. When Jesus separates the sheep from the goats in Matthew 25:41, He sentences the goats (a metaphor for…
