It Takes A Church: A Dating Show Only Your Mother Would Love

Last updated on: May 29, 2014 at 8:59 am By Zack Hunt

If my single friends are clear about anything, it’s that there’s nothing less awkward or intrusive or more welcome than people at their church trying to set them up with other people at their church. I hear it all the time, “Zack, I wish I was a competent enough human being to ask another human being out on a date, but I’m not and as everyone knows that’s the reason I am single. I just wished my church family would... Read more

Jesus Tattoo(s) Of The Day

Last updated on: May 28, 2014 at 12:04 pm By Zack Hunt

From time to time I like to highlight awesome and awful Jesus tattoos that I come across. Usually, it’s one or the other….but mostly just the latter. Today, I bring you both. One with admittedly great artwork, though, in an interesting location. Another that’s a little of both. And one more that’s, well, I don’t want to spoil the surprise. First up, the good stuff. Yes, the top of one’s head is an interesting location for a Jesus tattoo, if... Read more

Rare Footage Of Jim Jones Preaching & Performing “Miracles”

Last updated on: May 27, 2014 at 10:06 am By Zack Hunt

Christian Nightmares recently shared this rare clip of infamous cult leader Jim Jones preaching and performing “miracles” at his church, the People’s Temple, in Los Angeles. Personally, I find this fascinating (and a bit terrifying). This is, after all, the guy who quite literally and tragically got his followers (or possibly forced them) to “drink the kool-aid.” What I find so interesting in this clip is how disturbingly familiar it all is. Maybe it’s just me, but I think we... Read more

Can You Have A Church Without A Prison Ministry?

Last updated on: May 23, 2014 at 11:14 am By Zack Hunt

(H/T) Now that I’m done with school, I’ve found myself flipping through Netflix, Hulu, and every other option I can find on Apple TV to catch up on shows I’ve missed. The other day I came across a PBS special called Prison State. It’s a Frontline feature on what is, by most accounts, the deeply flawed American penal system. As I listened to the countless stories of men and women languishing in prison for what in many cases was far... Read more

Does Jesus Own A Computer? (And Other Important Questions)

Last updated on: May 22, 2014 at 9:44 am By Zack Hunt

The Christian faith can be a challenging and complex thing to understand. Doctrines like the Trinity and the incarnation can be incredibly difficult to comprehend, let alone articulate to potential new believers. But fear not. I am here to offer you the simple, straightforward answers to some of the most vexing questions of faith I know you have. Like, does Jesus own a computer? Of course he does. But as you’ll notice, in typical Jesus fashion, it’s a humble computer.... Read more

That Time I Agreed With Mark Driscoll

Last updated on: May 20, 2014 at 11:50 am By Zack Hunt

(H/T) If you’ve followed my blog for very long, then you know there are few things that Mark Driscoll and I agree about. I have unapologetically taken him to task for both the absurd and egregious things he all too often says and does. But since we both confess Jesus as Lord, I think it’s only fair that I call attention to the moments when we do agree. They may be few and far between, but it seems one of those... Read more

Pat Robertson: You Gotta Be Deaf, Dumb, & Blind To Believe In Young Earth Creationism

Last updated on: May 15, 2014 at 9:31 am By Zack Hunt

There are very few things that Pat Robertson and I agree on. As the years pass, and he seems to get crazier and crazier, we agree on even less. But, behold, one of the few things in which Pat & I are of one accord. As he puts it, “The truth is you have to be deaf, dumb, & blind to think this earth that we live in only has 6,000 years of existence,” Amen, Pat. Amen. Read more

Dear John (An Open Letter To John Calvin)

Last updated on: May 13, 2014 at 10:19 am By Zack Hunt

Dear John, Ok, first off I know, “Dear John” letters are usually written between former lovers and we were never even friends. But, John, I tried. I really, really did. I’ve heard for so long that my frustrations with Calvinism were really due to your Neo-Calvinist followers giving you a bad name. That made sense to me. After all, I couldn’t believe that some of the rephrensible and callous things being said and taught today would be derived directly... Read more

JesUSAves

Last updated on: May 9, 2014 at 9:37 am By Zack Hunt

You’ve probably heard it said, “There’s no “I” in team.” But did you know there’s no “Jesus Saves” without “USA”? Yeah, me either. But thanks to a heads up from one of my readers, I’m sad to report that this is indeed the case. In fact, it seems it’s something of a cottage industry. You’ve got your JesUSAaves t-shirt. Which is also available in a tank top. Or if a hoodie is more your thing, they’ve got that too. Maybe... Read more
