American Jesus Madness 2015 – Salacious 16 Results

Last updated on: March 19, 2015 at 8:00 am By Zack Hunt

It was yet another round of incredibly close matchups that came down to the wire. In fact, by some sort of voodoo witchcraft, a few votes were still coming in long after the polls had closed. No clue how that happened. I guess you have to actually “close” the polls and not just remove them from the post? Either way, those votes did not count. But regardless of whatever spell Ken Ham tried to cast in hopes of advancing, we now... Read more

American Jesus Madness 2015 – Salacious 16 Voting

Last updated on: March 18, 2015 at 9:00 am By Zack Hunt

Welcome to the Salacious 16 round where the epic matchups get even epic-ier!!™ Just a few reminders about voting… You can vote on each matchup or just the ones you like. It’s totally up to you. Voting is unlimited. So, vote now and vote often. HOWEVER: After about 50 votes or so, you’ll probably see a “Thank you, we’ve already counted your vote message.” In previous years, there was a long “cooling off” period before Poll Daddy would let you vote again. BUT... Read more

American Jesus Madness 2015 – 1st Round Results

Last updated on: March 18, 2015 at 8:00 am By Zack Hunt

After nearly 22,000 votes were cast, we ended up with some of the closest results in the history of American Jesus Madness, including one matchup that came down to just 2 votes. And I’m pretty sure we had a record number of bracket entries this year, at least my fingers feel that way after tabulating all of those results. Most matchup results are displayed by percentage, but you’ll see exact vote counts for the really close calls. Anyway, check out the... Read more

American Jesus Madness 2015 – Tournament Schedule

Last updated on: March 16, 2015 at 9:11 am By Zack Hunt

Last night the NCAA bracket was released and, sure, you could win a ton of money if you feel it out correctly (or more correctly than other people). But what is $20,000 compared to eternal glory?! Remember what Jesus said, “Do not store of treasures on earth where the IRS will take a huge cut of your winnings, but store up eternal glory in heaven by winning the American Jesus Bracket Challenge.” So, if you want a chance at eternal...

American Jesus Madness 2015 – 1st Round Breakdown

Last updated on: March 13, 2015 at 12:52 pm By Zack Hunt

As promised, I want to offer a breakdown of the first round matchups as a guide of sorts to voting. Who or what you vote for and why is, of course, completely up to you, but I know there are plenty of people out there in internet land who are not familiar with everyone or everything in the tournament. So, every year I offer the guide to try and explain who and what is in the tournament. Be aware, of course, that... Read more

The official 2015 American Jesus Madness bracket is here!!

The Weirdest Christian Meme I’ve Ever Seen

Last updated on: March 10, 2015 at 10:02 am By Zack Hunt

I’ve seen my fair share of Christian memes. All of us have. Most of them are terribly cheesy, but the message they’re trying to convey is pretty straightforward. It’s usually something like “share or like this on your Facebook page or you’ll go straight to hell for denying Jesus.” But this has to be the weirdest Christian meme I’ve ever seen. Like you, I was utterly lost and confused when I first saw this image. So, I did some searching and... Read more

Speaking The Truth In Love, Ricky Bobby Style

Last updated on: March 6, 2015 at 11:29 am By Zack Hunt

I’m a firm believer in the theory that Will Ferrell movies get funnier the more you watch them. Take, for instance, Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby . When it first came out I had no interest in seeing it. In fact, I’m pretty sure I didn’t watch it until it started running on TNT and I was too lazy to change the channel. When I finally did see it, I said to myself, “Self, this isn’t as bad as I thought it... Read more

Good Old Fashioned Sunday School Shaming

Last updated on: March 5, 2015 at 10:13 am By Zack Hunt

When I was in growing up, we used to send cards to people in our youth group that weren’t at church on a given Wednesday night. For the most part, it was a well-meaning effort to let our friends know they were missed. Though there was obviously an underlying guilt trip, it was nice to know people were thinking about you and cared enough to take the time to send you a handwritten card. But I always dreaded showing up... Read more
