American Jesus Madness 2018 – 1st Round Results

Last updated on: March 20, 2018 at 9:03 am By Zack Hunt

American Jesus Madness came a little too close for comfort in the 1st round with Loving Children needing a last minute rally to beat Loving Guns. On the other hand, Thoughts & Prayers silenced Actually Doing Something by a 60% margin, so real life still held some sway in the 1st Round. And on the other other hand, Evangelical Lady Bloggers completely destroyed Evangelical Authorities, both in that matchup and with Jen Hatmaker’s demolishing (pun very much intended) of Lifeway...

Last updated on: March 15, 2018 at 10:27 am By Zack Hunt

If you’re new to American Jesus Madness, you might find yourself wondering, “What sort of insane dystopian tournament I have wandered into?” But fear not! Well, maybe fear a little. I mean, the tournament may be imaginary, but the combatants are sadly all too real. Anywho, for newcomers and veterans alike, I like to offer a breakdown of the bracket every year to explain what’s going on in each matchup so you have a better idea on what you’re voting...

The 2018 American Jesus Madness Bracket

Last updated on: March 12, 2018 at 12:53 pm By Zack Hunt

Here it is!! The official 2018 American Jesus Madness bracket. I would say it’s been yet another wild and crazy year in American Christianity, but that would make it sound like business as usual and as we all know all too well, life has been anything but usual since Donald Trump took office. Which is why American Jesus Madness may be more important then ever. We all need a chance to blow off some steam, release the pressure valve of... Read more

The Thing That Impressed Me Most About Billy Graham

Last updated on: February 21, 2018 at 11:10 am By Zack Hunt

(Credit: Florida Memory, Flickr Creative Commons) On a June evening just before my junior year in high school, I joined some 45,000 people on the banks of the Cumberland River in Nashville, TN to hear Billy Graham preach. As a would-be preacher myself, he was my hero. He was a Baptist and I was a Nazarene and Baptists and Nazarenes don’t always agree on theology, but the one thing we could agree on was the fact that Billy Graham was... Read more

We Don’t Have A Difference In Political Opinion, We Have A Difference In Morality

Last updated on: February 15, 2018 at 1:01 pm By Zack Hunt

(Source: Twitter) Yesterday, 17 children were gunned downed in their school. It was the 18th school shooting in the United States in the last 45 days.* And while the vast majority of Americans are horrified, appalled, and outraged, demanding some sort of action, any action be taken to end these sorts of unspeakable tragedies, Republican leadership in Congress just shrugs while their benefactors at the NRA and its foot soldiers go about peddling their propaganda about the supposed ineffectiveness of...

The Sanctified Racism of Robert Jeffress

Last updated on: February 13, 2018 at 11:26 am By Zack Hunt

(Source: Facebook) It’s not exactly news that Trump-loving Christians contort themselves in all sorts of ways to justify supporting a man who is so objectively anti-Christ in everything he says and does. And yet those contortions never cease to amaze. The latest installment of the seemingly never-ending and appalling series of Christian justifications for Donald Trump comes courtesy of one of his favorite preachers, Robert Jeffress. In a recent op-ed for Religion News Service, Jeffress tried to explain why the... Read more

The Words Of Martin Luther King Jr. That White American Christians Need To Hear Today

Last updated on: January 15, 2018 at 12:06 pm By Zack Hunt

(Credit: Wikipedia) If you don’t get goosebumps listening to the end of Martin Luther King Jr.’s I Have A Dream speech, you need to check your pulse. Or maybe your soul. It’s a riveting message of hope and aspiration for a future free from the racial divide that plagued America in the middle of the 20th century and continues to plague us today. As a naive, middle-class white kid in the 90s, I thought America was well on its way... Read more

Jesus Came From A Shithole Country

Last updated on: January 12, 2018 at 9:45 am By Zack Hunt

(Credit: Wikipedia) The President of the United States is an unapologetic racist. He’s certainly not the first racist President and, sadly, probably won’t be the last. But unlike Presidents in recent memory who, generally speaking, at least publicly made an effort to not appear racist by saying or doing objectively racist things, Donald Trump has made racism the foundation of his presidency ever since the day he first rode down that tacky golden elevator in Trump Tower to announce he...
