The Thing About Millennials And The Church That Nobody Wants To Talk About

Last updated on: January 6, 2015 at 12:43 pm By Zack Hunt

(Credit: KristKaze, DeviantArt) Lately it seems like a day doesn’t go by when at least half a dozen articles about millennials and the Church don’t fill up my Facebook newsfeed. At this point I think I’ve read about a million articles about why millennials are really leaving the Church or why their departure is actually a myth. It seems like everybody has an opinion on the matter and, more importantly, a solution. One day it’s 7 Reasons Why Millennials Aren’t Coming to Your Church. The next... Read more

Wash Your Sins Away With A Bar Of Jesus Soap

Last updated on: January 5, 2015 at 1:13 pm By Zack Hunt

I don’t think this is exactly what John had in mind when he talked about Jesus washing away our sins, but it’s always better to be safe than sorry. So, it’s probably not a bad idea to order a bar of Jesus Soap and keep it next to your Axe body wash in the shower. Of course, you know yourself better than I do. If one bar simply isn’t enough to get the job done, I do believe you can order... Read more

The (Near) Death Of The American Jesus

Last updated on: January 2, 2015 at 10:00 am By Zack Hunt

I started this blog more than 4 years ago with my friend Wes as a way to share funny videos and stories we found in the deep recesses of the Christian internet to which decent people shouldn’t venture. A lot has changed since then. The blog has grown significantly, Wes moved on and got a real job, and while many of the funny videos and stories are still here, if you’re a longtime reader (you’re awesome and I love you), you’ve probably...

Jesus Gets His Own Calendar For 2015

Last updated on: December 30, 2014 at 10:41 am By Zack Hunt

You think you’ve seen it all….and then you come across something like this. When you do see it, you think, “Surely this isn’t a real thing.” But then you find out that not only is it a real thing, but it’s already sold out. Of course, the empty website just frustrates you cause you can’t not see what’s in the calendar. So you get on the google machine and a few clicks later there’s Jesus, um, blessing the fish? Then you... Read more

Peace On Earth?

Last updated on: December 22, 2014 at 12:19 pm By Zack Hunt

(Credit: Wikipedia) This Wednesday night, my church will gather together for our annual Christmas Eve service. I’m hoping my favorite Christmas hymn will make the cut this year – Hark! The Herald Angels Sing. O Holy Night gives it a run for its money, but Hark! The Herald Angels Sing is still the cream of the Christmas crop for me. I get that it’s cheesy and more than a bit nerdy to admit this, but lines like “Veiled in flesh the Godhead... Read more

Love Is A Worthless Idea

Last updated on: December 17, 2014 at 12:05 pm By Zack Hunt

(Credit: Boris Kasimov, Flickr Creative Commons) I don’t care who you are. If you were a American Christian teenager in the 90s, you loved DC Talk. Don’t even pretend like you didn’t. Even if you went to one of those fundamentalist churches that thinks Christian rock (and, of course, rap too) is the devil’s music, we both know you were sneaking in a little Jesus Freak time when your parents weren’t looking. We all knew every word to every song on... Read more

The Duggar Family’s Not So Christian Values

Last updated on: December 15, 2014 at 10:59 am By Zack Hunt

(Credit: Wikipedia) I confess: I’ve seen more than a few episodes of (Fill In The Blank With The Appropriate Number) Kids & Counting and I actually enjoyed them if for no other reason than I was fascinated to see how in the world you make a household that size run efficiently or even run at all. Whether they were dealing with 14 kids or 19, the Duggars have always struck me as genuine people who aren’t interested in pretending to be... Read more

“Pastor” Steven Anderson: Every Christian Should Own A Weapon

Last updated on: December 12, 2014 at 9:46 am By Zack Hunt

“Pastor” Steven Anderson has a long, long history of saying awful and sometimes insane things from the pulpit. In his latest abomination, Anderson preaches on the “need” for every Christian to own a weapon. Now, let me be clear: I’m not anti-gun. I’ve been hunting and I’ve been to the gun range. I enjoyed both and would happily do both again in the future. But there are 2 key things going on in Anderson’s message that make it utterly appalling (and that... Read more

Thugs, Illegals, And The King Of The Jews

Last updated on: December 10, 2014 at 12:33 pm By Zack Hunt

A couple of years ago I wrote a post on what I called “the zombification of America.” It was about how we strip our enemies of their humanity in order to feel justified treating them however we see fit. If you’ll let me be that guy for a moment and quote myself, I wrote… Rather than going through all the hard, messy work of loving our enemies or hearing what they have to say, we zombify them. They’re no longer... Read more

Is This The Most Sexist Christian Book Ever Written?

Last updated on: December 9, 2014 at 9:42 am By Zack Hunt

Every once in a while I stumble down an internet rabbit hole. Usually, it ends up just being a giant waste of time that I’ll never get back (even though it may have seemed profoundly entertaining at the time). But sometimes the journey through the rabbit hole leads to something worthwhile. Such was the case today. After a lot of clicking I came to a website that, as a church history guy, I just love. It’s called Old Time Religion... Read more
