Homeless Jesus Has No Home

Last updated on: April 15, 2013 at 9:23 am By Zack Hunt

Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.” – Matthew 8:20 In the Gospel of Matthew Jesus described himself as homeless. But apparently a couple of Roman Catholic churches in Toronto missed that verse. According to their administration ‘Homeless Jesus’ is just too controversial. That sounds about right. Sculpture of Jesus the Homeless Rejected by Two Prominent Churches By Leslie Scrivener, The Star Jesus has been depicted... Read more

Pat Robertson & Apocalyptic Idolatry

Last updated on: April 11, 2013 at 10:00 am By Zack Hunt

Pat Robertson has said some completely bizarre and outright awful things in recent years. Those comments using get their brief moment in the sun before quickly withering on the vine as Robertson’s influence, fortunately, seems to have seriously waned. So, what bothers me about his most recent ridiculous comments is not that I fear he will change hearts and mind, but that his words are echoing what many evangelical Christians already believe even if they never pay any attention to...

Would You Watch A Christian Dating Show?

Last updated on: April 10, 2013 at 9:41 am By Zack Hunt

I have a confession to make. When I was in college I, along with my roommates, watched an obscene amount of dating shows. By “obscene” I mean all of them all the time. Blind Date, Fifth Wheel, Elimidate – you name it we watched it. Not so much because we loved dating shows, but because we didn’t have cable and they were a train wreck we just couldn’t look away from. While my standards were pretty low back then for... Read more

Jesus In Outer Space

Last updated on: April 9, 2013 at 9:21 am By Zack Hunt

Have you ever got sucked down an internet rabbit hole? Sure, you have. We all have. It starts with a YouTube video or maybe a Wikipedia article, then another one and another one and another and before you know it hours have flown by because you’ve been sucked down an internet rabbit hole you just couldn’t find your way out of. Well, that happened with me this morning, except my rabbit hole wasn’t Wikipedia or YouTube. It was pictures of... Read more

REVIEW: ‘Life After Art’ By Matt Appling

Last updated on: April 8, 2013 at 9:38 am By Zack Hunt

It’s been a while since I enjoyed reading a book as much as I did Matt Appling’s Life After Art. Now, granted I’ve been in school for a while and have been forced to read many things that are less than pleasurable, but that has little to do with why I enjoyed Matt’s book so much. In Life After Art Matt touches on a subject that I am very passionate about – creativity and imagination. In his book, he challenges... Read more

FROM THE VAULT: The Problem With Questions

Last updated on: April 5, 2013 at 9:44 am By Zack Hunt

As I’m always welcoming new people to the blog I sometimes like to revisit an old post or two that sparked a good conversation, but may have been missed by those who weren’t around when it was originally posted. This post originally appeared in September 2012 and addresses an issue that for many churches is, tragically, nothing short of sin – having doubts and asking questions. Nothing makes you feel dumber than going to school. At least that’s the case for... Read more

Militant Humility

Last updated on: April 3, 2013 at 9:07 am By Zack Hunt

There’s been a rather strange thing going throughout the church recently. Protestants have come out in droves to express there admiration and even love for a pope. Now, if you know anything about church history, you know this sort of thing just isn’t supposed to happen. After all, the rejection of papal authority was a central issue for Martin Luther and his fellow reformers. And it wasn’t just an ideological disagreement. They branded the pope the antichrist. And they meant... Read more

When Easter Goes Horribly, Horribly Wrong

Last updated on: April 1, 2013 at 2:32 pm By Zack Hunt

I don’t think I’ve ever posted 3 things in one day, but I just say this video and had to share it immediately. It’s a great example of why pyrotechnics and church plays don’t mix. The only question is what is funnier – the flaming tomb or the fact that the singer just keeps on going like nothing’s happening? Originally found here. // // Read more

The Jesus Shaves Coffee Mug

Last updated on: April 1, 2013 at 1:58 pm By Zack Hunt

Do you like coffee? Do you prefer your saviors to be clean shaven? Then The Unemployed Philosophers’s Guild has got the thing for you. It’s called the Jesus Shaves Mug. When the mug is empty Jesus has a beard. When you fill the mug up with hot coffee, the beard miraculously disappears. And once again, just to be clear – this is not an April Fools joke, even though it probably should be. Read more

Witness Walkers – The Flip Flop With A Testimony

Last updated on: April 1, 2013 at 9:22 am By Zack Hunt

I’ll be honest. I thought long and hard about an April Fools’ joke……and came up with nothing. So, I figured the next best thing would be something that probably should be an April Fools’ joke, but isn’t. Introducing Witness Walkers, the ultimate in testimonial foot apparel. You youth pastors out there better be paying attention to this. If you’ve got teen camp at the beach this summer or just a lakefront at your campground, sell these babies after service one...
