  • Being an avid Charismatic, it’s ironic that I wrote a more scientific book on aliens called, Alien Theology. For before I made myself aware of science, I spent much of my time pursuing the supernatural ways of God. I’ve seen people healed while praying for them. I’ve casted out demons. I’ve had spiritual dreams and…


  • I had to chuckle today at an ad for a church event I saw called, “Wine & Scripture.” Apparently it’s a wine tasting event in which you explore the wonders of the Holy Spirit. Now even though I don’t drink, I don’t have a problem with the event or the church (they’re great people)—rather, what…


  • If you have kids, you know it’s not always easy to get them to sit down at the table and eat—especially when you have to pull their video games away from them first. Such was the case on one summer night when I couldn’t get my almost-3-year-old to put down the Wii U gamepad and…


  • I haven’t been able to stop listening to The Greatest Showman soundtrack for like two weeks. This album is the height of what melody is meant to be and it has greatly inspired me to write some new music. But perhaps more powerful than the entire movie and soundtrack is somehow their rehearsal for the movie.…


  • C.S. Lewis once remarked that Jesus saying he’d return within a generation was, “certainly the most embarrassing verse in the Bible.” While Lewis’ words are a bit brash, at least he was honest about his feelings. It’s clear in reading the New Testament that the early church literally thought Jesus meant one generation. Even 2…


  • As the year comes to an end and the snow covers my city, I think back to the Narnia tribute album I released earlier this year. Everyone’s support of my work was super encouraging. I used to record music nonstop, but one day I just hit a wall and didn’t have it in me to…


  • Lately it seems I keep starting three books at the same time: one audiobook, one digital book that Siri reads to me and one book I have to read the ol’ fashioned way with my eyes! My wife can plow through a book in a day but I tend to read very slowly. If anything…


  • Like many in the early 2000’s, I got infected with the Jeremiah 29:11 bug. It was strange. It was as if all Christians had just discovered a Bible verse they had never heard of before, even though it was just sitting there staring us in the face the whole time. Pastors and congregants alike immediately…


  • Some stories in Wesley’s journals will catch you a bit off guard if you’re not familiar with just how intense the Methodist revival was. The supernatural was a constant component in his ministry and it came in all kinds of forms—he even casted out demons. It seems he had sat down to dinner, but had…


  • Jesus’ Birth Date

    There are a lot of investigations into Scripture that I often think are pointless, like trying to figure out an exact date that Jesus was born on. I struggle to understand why that would truly matter to my spiritual life. But then scholars like Michael Heiser prove me wrong in his book, Reversing Hermon (or…
