A Church Like Nintendo
In Romans 2, Paul calls attention to how God-followers have always said one thing and done another, and for that reason the world has made fun of God. How have we been bad witnesses to the character of God today? How did we witness to Jesus throughout the pandemic? In a lot of negative ways…

Prophetic Promises at the Final Hour

Giant Lizard VS Giant Monkey
Let’s talk about the latest movie in the monsterverse, “Godzilla VS Kong,” which, believe it or not, leads us into some actual conversations about the Bible.

When Even the Fish Give Up On You
“Hi, I’m Jamin and I’m a shame addict.” That’s what a friend once called me anyways. I thought it was ridiculous. You get addicted to things that you want to be addicted to, right? Things like sex, drugs, alcohol, and food leave you with some kind of high or pleasure to keep coming back to.…
