  • The Best Books I Read in 2022

    Heirs of Eden: Creating the World We Want With God’s Help and for God’s Glory David McDonald is a good friend of mine and released an amazing book this year. It’s hard to define the genre of Heirs of Eden, which is part of why it’s so amazing. It’s like one cup artsy coffee table…

  • The Spiritual Inspiration of Lewis and Tolkien

    As odd as it may sound, some of C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien’s fiction seemed to write itself. They spent time piecing together images in their mind and incorporated dreams they had into their works to come up with stories like that of Narnia and Lord of the Rings. The Nerd Church crew discusses this…

  • Skin

    Many Christians have a very negative view of skin. But in this Christmas message, Jamin talks about the goodness of skin and God’s redemption of it through God, who put on skin himself as Jesus.

  • The Wonderful Christmas Angel

    Isaiah gives us a strange prophecy about a coming messiah who is also God. How does that work? Jamin takes a look into some of the wording to show us how the Christmas story fits Old Testament themes, bridged by Isaiah’s prophecy.

  • Behemoth

    In our final episode on chaos creatures, we chat about Behemoth in the Bible, ancient culture, and his Scriptural application for today.

  • The “Will” of Jesus

    If you want to know who God is, you need to look at his Son, who is the clearest revelation of the Father. Once you’ve gotten to know his will and character, then the rest of the Bible starts to make sense and we begin to live as we should.

  • NEW EP: Of Theology and Poetry

    A new poem fresh off of my new EP, “Of Theology and Poetry.” Check out the extended version of “Groaning for Justice,” wherever you stream music. Here’s the Spotify link! *I usually create my music, but on this EP I’m just responsible for the poetry. All of the backing tracks on this EP come from…

  • Rahab

    Leviathan and Rahab kind of seem like the same creature in the Bible, but there are some themes in Rahab that we don’t see show up in Leviathan. Jamin chats with others about the differences and similarities in this Nerd Church session.

  • Casting Nets

    Peter’s miraculous catch of fish had more to say about ministry than it does about fishing. In this message, Jamin explains what this story can teach us about the relationship between Jesus, evangelism, and the church.

  • Broadway Bible

    “I really appreciate when you make up songs at church,” a friend once told me. “Does that feel vulnerable?” A little bit. You don’t usually know where you’re headed until you get started and you can only hope the words pan out. In the best moments, you’ll create a song that feels Spirit-inspired. In the…
