A Lesson In American Christianity From John Piper

Last updated on: October 20, 2015 at 11:46 am By Zack Hunt

(Credit: Wikipedia) We were sitting in the car going to I don’t quite remember where when our conversation about I don’t remember what somehow turned to politics. What I do remember is my friend’s long and impassioned rant against the evils of socialism. When he finally paused to take a breath, I asked him a question I already knew the answer to, “Do your kids go to public or private school?” “Public,” he said. “I can’t afford to send them to...

What Is The Gospel?

Last updated on: October 14, 2015 at 10:17 am By Zack Hunt

(Credit: Wikipedia) Last week, notorious prosperity gospel huckster, Creflo Dollar sent out this, uh, less than orthodox message on Twitter (as well as on his Facebook page). Somewhat surprisingly, the unabashed prophet of sanctified materialism deleted his obscenely heretical proclamation later in the day. I say somewhat surprisingly because there wasn’t really anything shocking about what he said given that it was coming from him. After all, it was the same gospel he’s been proclaiming for years simply reduced to 140 characters of less.... Read more

A Simple, Beautiful Way To Help Refugees Fleeing Their Homeland

Last updated on: October 6, 2015 at 10:24 am By Zack Hunt

This is another fantastic short film from the company (Deidox) that produced the video I shared last week that I thought was such a great response to the Planned Parenthood debate. I promise they’re not bribing me to share these videos. I just love them and the more of them I watch, the more I’m compelled to share. Anyway, this short film isn’t a direct response to the Syrian refugee crisis (the family featured in this film fled civil war in the Democratic... Read more

Our Prayers For The #UCCShooting Are Worthless

Last updated on: October 2, 2015 at 11:09 am By Zack Hunt

(Credit: LA Times, Johs Edelson /AFP/Getty Images) I’ve really struggled to figure out what to say since I first heard the reports of yet another mass shooting on American soil. What can I say that hasn’t already been said? What statistics could I point to that won’t be ignored yet again by people who refuse to accept the proven fact that gun ownership makes you less safe, even and especially in your own home? How many times can I say... Read more

The Prosperity Gospel Has Found Its President: Donald Trump

Last updated on: September 30, 2015 at 11:48 am By Zack Hunt

Given the utterly repugnant things Donald Trump has said and done and continues to say and do, it’s hard to imagine a group of pastors getting together with him in a room to anoint Trump as God’s chosen candidate for President of the United States. And yet, that’s exactly what’s going on in this video. But when you look at the list of people in attendance, this scene makes a lot more sense. Perfect sense actually. It’s essentially the cast of... Read more

The Best Response I’ve Seen To The Planned Parenthood Debate

Last updated on: September 28, 2015 at 8:48 am By Zack Hunt

Oh man. This. Sooo much this. I don’t care if you’re pro-life or pro-choice, you’ve gotta watch this. It’s not even 4 minutes long, but this is what it looks like to live out the Kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven. To learn more about Janet and Bundles of Hope click here.

A Few Highlights From Pope Francis’ United Nations Address

Last updated on: September 25, 2015 at 11:46 am By Zack Hunt

(Credit: @UN, Twitter) If you missed Pope Francis’ address to the United Nations this morning, you missed yet another wonderful mic dropping speech. Don’t get me wrong. There are plenty of things the Pope and I disagree on, but I never cease to be amazed at the courage, grace, and eloquence he brings to divisive and controversial issues; of which the very controversial nature of many is simply baffling. I could probably cut and paste his entire speech because there was so... Read more

Why Protestant Pastors Should Be Paying Attention To Pope Francis’ Visit To The United States

Last updated on: September 23, 2015 at 9:33 am By Zack Hunt

(Credit: Wikipedia) Pope Francis has officially arrived in the United States. As I write this, he’s on his way to the White House after shaking hands with Catholic school students outside the Apostolic Nunciature. I’m deeply jealous of their opportunity and wish I was able to get down to D.C. or New York or Philly to see Pope Francis myself. It’s been about 2 years since Jorge Mario Bergoglio became Francis I. Two years since he turned the papacy upside down and redefined what... Read more

The End Of Captivity: An Interview With Tripp York

Last updated on: September 21, 2015 at 9:21 am By Zack Hunt

(Photo Courtesy of Tripp York) Today, I have the privilege of interview my friend, fellow Trevecca alum, and author of one of my favorite books ever (The Devil Wears Nada), Tripp York, about his latest book, The End of Captivity?. Much like his former professor, Stanley Hauerwas, Tripp doesn’t hesitate to tackle controversial subjects in an open, bluntly honest, sometimes salty, and surprisingly (if you don’t already know him) funny way. In his latest endeavor, Tripp “addresses how we talk about the... Read more

9/11: #NeverForget…..Never Forgive?

Last updated on: September 11, 2015 at 11:22 am By Zack Hunt

(Credit: Jason Powell, Flickr Creative Commons) I can still remember the moment I first felt “old.” I wasn’t actually old then, of course. And I’m not really old now. I’m only 32. But that Wednesday night a few years ago as I stood before my youth group and talked to them about 9/11 only to be met by blank stares, I felt old. For them, September 11, 2001 wasn’t much more than a vague memory of an unusually chaotic day at... Read more
