The 3 Words Christians Aren’t Allowed To Say

Last updated on: September 24, 2014 at 11:36 am By Zack Hunt

(H/T Rebecca Barray, Flickr) I’m a huge baseball fan. Have been for as long as I can remember. I’m the guy that spends $130 a year to stream his favorite team’s games online – and watches every single one of them. I’m the guy that drives 6 hours each way on a weeknight for a do-or-die playoff game – and then gets up the next morning and goes to work. I’m the guy that’s been overly emotionally invested in sports since I was... Read more

ISIS And The Good Samaritan

Last updated on: September 22, 2014 at 9:54 am By Zack Hunt

(H/T NBC News) Last night was the season premiere of 60 Minutes. The show focused on the rise of ISIS and the West’s work-in-progress response. It was a heartbreaking and disturbing thing to watch. Between the blurred out video clips of ISIS militants mowing down scores of unarmed men in a ditch and the story of a woman whose friends were abducted, raped, and sold into slavery, I was ready to pull the airstrike trigger myself. I have to be... Read more

What If Jesus Played The Guitar?

Last updated on: September 19, 2014 at 9:13 am By Zack Hunt

Today, my acoustic guitar sits languishing in my closet while my beloved Stratocaster has been stolen for years (from church of all places). But there was a time when not a day passed by in which I didn’t spend hours playing the guitar convinced that given enough time and practice I could become God’s gift to the guitar. Shockingly, that didn’t work out so well. But the memories came flooding back today when I stumbled upon a picture that imagined... Read more

Bacon Proves America Is A Christian Nation

Last updated on: September 17, 2014 at 10:19 am By Zack Hunt

(H/T Patent and Pantry, Flickr) I love bacon. I mean I REALLY love bacon. As in I may or may not have spent an admittedly absurd amount of money to ship 4 lbs of bacon across the country just because I heard it was awesome. I’m guessing there’s a good chance you love bacon too. But did you know that our shared love affair with bacon proves that America is a Christian nation?? At least that’s what radio talk show host Bryan... Read more

Holy GhostBoosters

Last updated on: September 16, 2014 at 10:05 am By Zack Hunt

Yesterday, my friend over at Christian Nightmares posted what just might be the greatest thing ever in the history of ever. (H/T Cathy & Jan’s Travels) Here’s a few more shots of this beauty in case, like me, you just can’t get enough of it. Based on some quick searching on that new fangled Googler machine, it looks like this gift from God might be the handiwork of First United Methodist Church in Tarpon Springs, FL. Or at least that...

Kirk Cameron Has A Serious Crock-O-Duck Problem

Last updated on: September 15, 2014 at 10:14 am By Zack Hunt

I was surfing the ole interwebs the other day when I came across a story about a new dinosaur that was recently discovered and described by one paleontologist as “half-duck, half-crocodile.” Neat. Now, to be honest, I didn’t think much of it. That is, until Hemant Mehta reminded me why this discovery is so important. You see, a couple of years ago Kirk Cameron and his pal Ray Comfort posted a video they thought for sure would finally debunk the... Read more

Satanists Plan Black Mass Where Local Church Meets, Church Offers Surprising Response

Last updated on: September 12, 2014 at 10:59 am By Zack Hunt

(Photo via OKC Community Church) In one of my classes at Yale we read a book called Remembering Satan by Lawrence Wright. It’s about a tragic case in Washington state back in the 80s when everyone was convinced that all of their neighbors were secret Satanists sacrificing children in their backyard. During the mass hysteria, two girls in Washington accused their police officer father, as well as their mother, of sexually abusing them as part of a series of elaborate... Read more

Did You Hear About The Church That Went Broke Because They Gave Away Too Much?

Last updated on: September 10, 2014 at 10:58 am By Zack Hunt

(H/T Flickr) I was doing a little reminiscing today about my years in ministry and somehow or another I got to thinking about all the things I spent money on as a youth pastor. I know, weird boring thing to think about, but bear with me. As youth pastors some of the things we spend money on sound absurdly ridiculous if you’ve never been involved in youth ministry. Ok, to be fair, even if you’ve been involved in youth ministry,... Read more

Gun Loving Pastor Poses For The Most Ironic Picture Ever

Last updated on: September 9, 2014 at 10:38 am By Zack Hunt

Shooting guns is fun. I get that. I’ve been to the firing range and I’ve been hunting and I’ve had a thoroughly good time doing both. But as a Christian, the idea of turning those guns on other people – even in the name of self-defense – is something I’m decidedly less enthusiastic about. The same can’t be said for John Correia, pastor of West Greenway Bible Church in Glendale, Arizona. In a recent interview with The Daily Mail he... Read more

The Weirdest Jesus Statue You’ll Ever See

Last updated on: September 8, 2014 at 9:54 am By Zack Hunt

That headline isn’t click bait. I’m serious. This is probably the weirdest Jesus statue you’ll ever see. (H/T) Maybe the creepiest too. Why? Well, the creepy part is kinda obvious. I mean that’s a lot of fairly realistic looking blood. And those eyes…. But what makes this statue so weird is something you can’t really see…unless you have an X-ray machine. (H/T) See those lines in the mouth? They’re teeth. Real. Human. Teeth. According to an article from Live Science,... Read more
