A Playlist That Lights the Dark | Music for Troubled Times

Last updated on: March 22, 2025 at 8:38 pm By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

This week I share a playlist for troubled times. Last week I shared a list of Scriptures for troubled times… CLICK I have selected this music over the course of 2025. The videos, the LPs, the Spotify playlist, and the Pandora station have all spoken to me along this journey. We all have troubled times. There’s no need to elaborate on mine, but it is real. God has always ministered to me through music, sometimes Christian… sometimes secular. What is Christian... Read more

Scriptures That Light the Dark: Verses for Troubled Times

Last updated on: March 17, 2025 at 11:37 am By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

When things get dark, what Scripture comes to mind? The other night I made myself sit in contemplative prayer. I say “I made myself” because that is what I had to do. You see I was scurrying about trying to solve riddles in the dark. And that is nearly an impossibility without shedding a little light on the subject. Joel 2.25 popped up on my X feed and then the rays of light started streaming in. One after another, these... Read more

Petitioning the Lord for Gentleness and Courage

Last updated on: March 1, 2025 at 10:19 am By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

I petition You today Lord for gentleness and courage. Oh Lord my God, you are the Lord of Hosts. You are the Commander-in-Chief of Heaven’s armies. Thank You that You have fought my battles for me and that You have always triumphed. You have fought the battles I have been very mindful of. You have fought the battles I have been unaware of. Thank You that even during the times when I fail in my flesh or become weary in... Read more

Rethinking Prayer | a 5 Point Approach

Last updated on: February 16, 2025 at 6:14 pm By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

When it comes to rethinking prayer, one has to ask if we have been overthinking prayer. In some ways it’s like the sun is setting on this ancient spiritual practice. And perhaps the sun is setting. We have certainly examined prayer from every angle. At least that’s what I felt like, until I found a couple ways of prayer that are transformative. One is the ancient practice of Lectio Divina, really a way to pray through Scripture. The second is... Read more

A New Dawn: Finding Hope in Life’s Fresh Beginnings

Last updated on: February 10, 2025 at 11:22 am By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

In-Breaking of the Sunrise I’m on the cusp of a new beginning, a new sunrise. The past seems farther and farther away with each passing day. I eagerly look forward to what lies ahead. Just today God opened my mind to a possibility I’ve hoped for since I was young but I never thought would happen. posted on X @jaredingle2022, January 31, 2025 I’m sorry if this reads more like a journal entry than an academic work.

Guest Post | Relationship vs. Religion

Last updated on: January 31, 2025 at 1:29 pm By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

Pastor Brandon dissects a couple lines of thought on religion, a term currently misunderstood in Western Society. His views stand as a corrective against those who would popularize Evangelicalism with trite sayings and euphemisms. This may be unpopular; it’ll probably be unliked; and it’ll possibly be misunderstood… For several years now, I’ve heard the phrase, ‘I don’t have religion; I have relationship,’ or some variation of that. AND I totally understand the sentiment behind that statement. I get it. I’ve... Read more

diakonos | God’s Government Deacon

Last updated on: January 22, 2025 at 5:22 pm By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

How can there be a government deacon? The operative word is “servant” particularly in verse 4. Romans 13.1-7, NRSV: Let every person be subject to the governing authorities; for there is no authority except from God, and those authorities that exist have been instituted by God. 2 Therefore whoever resists authority resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgement. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Do you wish to have no... Read more

Superfluity of Naughtiness

Last updated on: January 17, 2025 at 4:08 pm By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. James 1.21, KJV I awoke this morning at 5:30 AM and got a little snack. As I lay back down to go to sleep, the word superfluity came to mind. Knowing there is only 1 usage of the word in the KJV, I looked it up before drifting off again. Now I know basically in English what... Read more

The Fruit of the Spirit is one of the most recognizable Passages in the New Testament. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
