Jesus’ Approach to Judgment: Strategic De-escalation
Let’s pretend that a mob of Christians storm into my church office one day and bring a person before me that they caught committing a sin. They want judgment, and it’s clear from their loudness that they want a serious verdict from me. Now let’s say that after getting my bearings on what’s happening, I…

New Exorcism Website Launched!
If you’ve been following me for some time, then you know I tend to get into supernatural topics both as a theologian and an exorcist. I had an idea come to me recently to create a new webpage called The Exorcist’s Bestiary, which primarily focuses on exorcism in hopes of helping people interested in this…

Dealing with Unhealthy Shame
“Jesus, what is this called?” I asked after my participant had a vision of Jesus pulling their shame out of them. “Boosh,” Jesus replied in the vision. I pulled out my phone to research the word and discovered it was the biblical Hebrew word for shame. Shame is a powerful force that I’ve dealt with…

Collaborating with God
In Numbers 9, it’s pretty clear that Israel didn’t move unless God’s cloud or fire led them somewhere else. But in Numbers 10, a team of Israelites sought a place to go next, and the cloud went with them. What do we do with these opposing stories? Jamin offers a suggestion based on the dynamic…

Dealing with Demonic Interruption
Different demons have different weaknesses when they manifest, and it takes discernment to pinpoint each one. I’ve seen some panic and scream when they hear worship music. Some go into great pain over simple touch. Some dry-heave when I ask the person to regain control over their body. Some don’t like hearing tongues. But all…

Christians and Politics
Few topics are messier than that of Christians and politics. Depending on what part of the Bible you read, you’ll be told to listen to everything the government says or to challenge it prophetically. When do we challenge? How do we challenge? Why do we challenge? As I wrap up my master’s degree on theology…

Get Out of My Way and Let Me Love You
During our Spare Oom worship night last night, I spontaneously made up a 45-minute song. About 15 minutes in, two people started recording it on their iPhones. Because it ended up being a meaningful time for most, I merged their recordings into a single one. It’s not high quality or anything, but if you need…
