What’s A Prayer Stop?

Last updated on: January 26, 2012 at 10:59 am By Zack Hunt

First things first. We believe that prayer is really important. We also believe that praying with and for people is a really great thing. And we believe that this ministry has their heart in the right place by wanting to pray for everyone. That being said, can we at least agree that blue Walmart greeter vests and a kiosk only add to the already awkward idea of ambushing strangers in public in order to pray with them? Read more

Forgiving The Unforgivable: Scandals, Contracts, & Grace

Last updated on: January 25, 2012 at 10:18 am By Zack Hunt

A few weeks ago the now former Governor of Mississippi, Haley Barber, caused quite the controversy by issuing dozens of pardons on his way out of office, several of which were issued to convicted murders. Not surprisingly, the victims’ families were appalled at what they felt was an act of injustice. Living in Memphis, this story has been all over the news. One thing that has stuck out to me, is the bitterness and resentment that most of the victim’s... Read more

Looking For God? Check your HANDbook!

Last updated on: January 24, 2012 at 12:15 pm By Zack Hunt

You should have a Bible in your hand at all times. Especially if you’re looking for God. All you have to do to find Him is look down at your hand and the book that you’re holding. He’s right there waiting for you. Get it?? Christian puns. So witty. Sigh. Read more

Fear > Love

Last updated on: January 23, 2012 at 10:41 am By Zack Hunt

There are a lot of things that I struggle to understand: string theory, driving below the speed limit, the appeal of Lady Gaga. One of the things I struggle to understand the most is the attraction to pastors and churches whose identity, at least to those of us on the outside, seems to be defined by what or who they hate coupled with a morbid fear of hell. These churches and their pastors are characterized by sermons full... Read more

I’m not going to lie. I may or may not have dressed up like Capt. Jean-Luc Picard for Halloween when I was kid. I can admit it. I was a Trekkie. Now, I never committed intellectual property theft created an elaborate evangelistic spoof of the show, but I can appreciate the effort. After all, is there anything more incredibly terrible awesome than a guitar battle with a Klingon using a Star Trek version of “I’ve Got The Joy,Joy, Joy, Joy... Read more

In Defense Of Christian Bloggers

Last updated on: January 19, 2012 at 3:19 pm By Zack Hunt

This may come as a surprise to many of you, but I am an internet blogger. Shocking I know. There’s a lot of us out there. You may be one yourself. We all blog on a wide range of topics from politics, to photography, to food, or in my case, religion. Bloggers come in all shapes, sizes, genders, political persuasions, and religious backgrounds. But if there’s anything that ties us all together, it’s the fact that we’re... Read more

Pastor: Using Painkillers During Labor Is Sinful

Last updated on: January 19, 2012 at 10:17 am By Zack Hunt

You have to hate love the way “pastor” Steven Anderson dances around this issue. Instead of simply saying “Using painkillers during childbirth is sinful” he says, “Don’t get all mad at me, I’m not up here saying….I’m just saying is it really right to take narcotics while you’re having a baby? If you’re just having a baby normally, the way God created you to have a baby, is it right for you to take narcotics while you’re having... Read more

In Celebration Of Me

Last updated on: January 18, 2012 at 3:06 pm By Zack Hunt

Today is my birthday. Which is great because it means everyone is required to stop and think of me before doing anything else today. Want that last Boston creme donut behind the counter? Tough luck. It’s my birthday. I’ve earned it. Think that parking spot near the front of the store is yours today? Think again. It’s my birthday. Thought you’d get to the movie theater early and snag the middle seat halfway up? Sorry, you’re just reserving that for... Read more
