Doomsday Preppers

Last updated on: February 13, 2012 at 8:30 am By Zack Hunt

The other day I confessed my secret love for bad Christian television. In truth, I really have a thing for crazy people in generally. Maybe it’s just me, but they are a never ending source of entertainment. Whether it’s crazy televangelists, a “Christian discernment ministry” website, or just crazy people at Walmart, I can’t get enough. So, you can imagine my joy when I came across a new show on National Geographic called Doomsday Preppers. If you... Read more

Mars Hill Church Needs A Youth Director – Apply Here!

Last updated on: February 10, 2012 at 8:00 am By Zack Hunt

A couple of weeks ago Matthew Paul Turner leaked a Mars Hill ‘discipline contract’ along with a subsequent internal memo to members instructing them about how to interact with the excommunicated former member. Well, yesterday Mark Driscoll tweeted that Mars Hill is looking to hire a new Youth Director. While that is in no way connected to the discipline contract, there is another leak involved. If you are interested in the job you must register with the church’s website in... Read more

Abandoning Evangelicalism – Part 6

Last updated on: February 9, 2012 at 11:06 am By Zack Hunt

The following is the final installment in a series of posts on why I believe the church must abandon evangelicalism. You can find part 1 here, part 2 here, part 3 here, part 4 here, and part 5 here. I couldn’t begin to tell you how many times I’ve gone down to an altar and “given my life to Jesus”. Growing up in an evangelical denomination, especially one with roots in the revival movement, a church service doesn’t go by without an invitation... Read more

Rev. Billy Locklear Sings ‘Saydum Done Lied To You’

Last updated on: February 8, 2012 at 1:50 pm By Zack Hunt

Rev. Billy spends the first minute or so of this clip begging his viewers to call in and send him money. Nothing he said moved me in the slightest to send him even a dime. Then he started singing and all that changed. If Rev. Billy is available for birthday parties, then I would gladly pay him to come and perform his rendition of “Saydum Done Lied To You” for my birthday next year. We tease because we... Read more

The Monstrous God of John Piper

Last updated on: February 8, 2012 at 9:00 am By Zack Hunt

For the past several days I have been writing on the problems with evangelicalism. I will continue that series later, but after reading John Piper’s latest statements about God, I wanted to take a moment to address them. Since my last post on evangelicalism discussed the epidemic of celebrity pastors, I think it seems fitting to take this brief detour. As you are probably already aware, during the recent Desiring God Conference John Piper declared his belief that... Read more

Abandoning Evangelicalism – Part 5

Last updated on: February 7, 2012 at 8:30 am By Zack Hunt

The following is the fifth installment in a series of posts on why I believe the church must abandon evangelicalism. You can find part 1 here, part 2 here, part 3 here, and part 4 here. For the holidays this year, my wife and I got to spend Christmas Eve with the Pope. Thanks to the impeccable connections of my father-in-law the Benedictine monk, coupled with 4 hours of waiting outside in St. Peter’s Square we were able to grab coveted aisle seats inside...

Review: ‘Evangelism In The Inventive Age’ by Doug Pagitt

Last updated on: February 6, 2012 at 1:53 pm By Zack Hunt

Doug Pagitt was kind enough to send over a copy of his newly released book, Evangelism in the Inventive Age, for me to review a couple of weeks ago. I meant to have this posted sooner, but as so often happens, ministry responsibilities foiled my best laid plans. Nevertheless, I thought that in light of the current series of posts on evangelicalism, it would be an appropriate time to post a review on a book about evangelism. Clearly,... Read more

Abandoning Evangelicalism – Part 4

Last updated on: February 6, 2012 at 11:22 am By Zack Hunt

The following is the fourth installment in a series of posts on why I believe the church must abandon evangelicalism. You can find part 1 here, part 2 here, and part 3 here. I love theology. I think it’s a profoundly important and inescapable component of the church. Theology shapes our identity. It tells who we are, or a least who we should be. It also reminds us about who we should not be. So, when I say that I think evangelicalism has problem... Read more

The following is the third installment in a series of posts on why I believe the church must abandon evangelicalism. You can find part 1 here and part 2 here. I have a confession to make. I sort of have a thing for Christian television. It’s kind of like a drug for me. Your drug of choice might be CSI or Dancing with the Stars or maybe Survivor. Mine is bad Christian television shows. I know this sounds crazy, but I love... Read more
