5 Reasons Why So Many Christians Are Feeling Burned Out Right Now

Last updated on: April 30, 2015 at 5:37 pm By Benjamin L. Corey

I’ll be honest- I’ve really been struggling internally for a few months. It’s not something I’ve discussed publicly, but has been a frequent topic of conversation in my home and with some close friends/peers. I think a big part of it was simply winter– it felt brutally long and dark for us up in these parts, but I’ve also been struggling with just feeling generally and creatively burned out. Scripture says there’s a season for everything, and I’m certainly coming out... Read more

Jesus Wasn’t Concerned With “Taking The Country Back” And Neither Should We

Last updated on: April 27, 2015 at 9:43 am By Benjamin L. Corey

It’s that time again… and happens every four years. With each new election cycle there is one predicable rallying cry that emits from the political stage: “it’s time to take our country back.” Quite often I hear these words uttered by fellow Christians, seemingly petrified that their individual worlds will collapse if their particular party doesn’t get back in power. Now, in fairness, I more often hear this from the conservative side of the fence- but it’s a cry that’s... Read more

My Jordan Journey: By Photos

Last updated on: April 23, 2015 at 3:39 pm By Benjamin L. Corey

Still coming down off a high from my pilgrimage to Jordan– wow, what an experience! Thought I’d share more of my journey with you- but with images instead of words. Here are some of my favorite images I took while traveling through Jordan. Just click a thumbnail for a larger view: … Bottom line– Jordan is beautiful, and such a wonderful experience. If you ever have the opportunity to visit, I certainly hope you will. Finally, here’s a short promo video... Read more

Why Every Day Should Be Earth Day If You’re A Christian

Last updated on: February 17, 2019 at 10:08 am By Benjamin L. Corey

It’s April 22nd, which means it’s “Earth Day.” Much of the hype over this annual day seems to have dissipated in recent years, but I think it’s a crucially important day if you’re a Christian. In fact, every day should be “Earth Day” if you’re a Christian. Growing up, the culture around me seemed to be highly suspicious of those who were advocates for the environment. Often they’d be labeled as “environmental extremists,” “tree huggers,” or some other term that let... Read more

Creating A Common Memory (Doctrine of Discovery)

Last updated on: April 22, 2015 at 7:15 am By Benjamin L. Corey

* Guest post by Mark Charles “Everybody get your cell phones out!” “Make sure you get this on video!” Early last March, due to an unusually heavy snowstorm in Albuquerque, NM, my flight was cancelled, my travel diverted, and I found myself unexpectedly stuck in downtown Los Angeles for 24 hours while I waited to catch a train back to the Navajo reservation. I was spending the day visiting the LA Union Rescue Mission, utilizing their Chaplains Study to get... Read more

The Backwards Invitation of God: In Order To Live We First Must Die

Last updated on: February 17, 2019 at 10:09 am By Benjamin L. Corey

As you probably know, I’ve been spending the last ten days exploring the Holy Land in Jordan. I’ve had an amazing time experiencing the beauty and hospitality of this land, and certainly have discovered there’s plenty here in Jordan to write about. However, the other day I experienced a moment I hadn’t budgeted for. Yes, one expects to see and experience the sights, take in the beauty, immerse oneself in history and everything else, but what I hadn’t really expected... Read more

Wrestle With God Over Your Questions, Your Anxieties, And Everything Else: He Can Handle It

Last updated on: February 17, 2019 at 10:09 am By Benjamin L. Corey

I remembered the story from my childhood well, but it never meant as much to me until today. The picture from my now falling apart children’s Bible (right) is one that has been etched in my mind for more than 30 years. Perhaps you remember this story too: the night when Jacob wrestled with God. The readers digest version of the story goes something like this: there were two twin brothers, Jacob and Esau (Abraham’s grandsons) who didn’t get along... Read more

Living Under Israeli Occupation: My Interview With A Christian in Palestine

Last updated on: April 9, 2015 at 11:17 am By Benjamin L. Corey

With recent elections in Israel and peace talks with Iran, talk has been in the news once again about the Israel and Palestinian conflict. I’ve also been hosting conversation here on the blog about errant pro-Israel theology that we are taught by fundamentalism, and which encourages us to support the oppression of our Palestinian brothers and sisters- many of them Christians living under oppression of the Israeli occupation. Debate, as usual, has been heated. Those still stuck in the blind pro-Israel... Read more

Blood Moon Abomination: Why Christians Shouldn’t Buy What Hagee is Selling

Last updated on: February 17, 2019 at 10:10 am By Benjamin L. Corey

Mega-church pastor and New York Times best selling author John Hagee has been busy selling something that I’d invite all Christians to avoid like it’s going out of style. Since October of 2013, Hagee has been warning the world about “something big” that’s about to happen to the secular nation state of Israel that will impact the whole world, and potentially bring about the end of the world by October 2015. Not only has he been preaching about it and... Read more
