• Physical Copies of “Alien Theology” Now Available!

    I haven’t been posting as much lately because I’ve been hard at work formatting and uploading and proofreading and recording my new book Alien Theology, but after all that work, it is now available in physical form and Kindle! The audiobook will be available as soon as it clears Audible’s inspection and I’ll make a post as…

  • Jesus & Taxes

    Jesus’ famous line to “Render to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s” is jam-packed with all kinds of implications. To truly see what Jesus is saying we must unpack his lesson like a parable in order to find the prophetic meaning and conviction that is in his statement. We must also understand the…

  • The Idea of Aliens Dates Back Before Christ

    Believe it or not, the thought that alien life might exist is actually a very old idea. In the 4th-3rd century B.C., the Greek philosopher Epicurus taught that “we must believe that in all worlds there are living creatures and plants and other things we see in this world.” The debate began to rage when…

  • What Christians Can Learn from Nintendo

    The market research group, NPD, estimated that consumers spent $30.4 billion on games and accessories in 2016. Certain video game franchises are worth several billion on their own, like Call of Duty, which was thought to be worth over $10 billion back in 2014. To understand how amazing it is that the video game industry…

  • The Religious Industry

    It was my dream growing up to get signed to a Christian record label and tour the world with my music—a pipe dream for sure, but a dream nonetheless. Every time I lost hope, I would gain it back somehow and dive back into trying. But then the final straw came. I lost a lot…

  • Blessed Are the Persecuted

    According to The Washington Post, there’s a church that put up a sign saying, “WE ARE HEAVILY ARMED — ANY ATTEMPT WILL BE DEALT WITH DEADLY FORCE — YES WE ARE A CHURCH AND WE WILL PROTECT OUR PEOPLE.” I’d like to just take a moment to remind us all that our savior was one who…

  • The Married Prophet

    I doubt anyone can read Ezekiel 24:15-27 without raising an eyebrow. God gave the prophets a lot of hard analogies to live out: walk around naked for three years (Isaiah 20:3); cook and eat bread prepared by cow poop (Ezekiel 4:12-15); marry a prostitute to show how God is faithful to those who aren’t faithful to…

  • Why Did God Make More than We Can See?

    I recall in my younger days preaching something along the lines of, “Everything in the universe was made just for you. There’s stars billions of miles away just so you’ll have light at night and something beautiful to look up at.” But my spiritual logic there is undone by the expansiveness of the universe. You…

  • Walking Boldly to the Cross

    We often talk about God wanting to bless us, which causes us to rarely talk about how Jesus called us into persecution with him. But then again, maybe blessing and persecution are the same thing, seeing as how Jesus said, “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of…
