The Wisdom of God
What wisdom does God want to speak to us through the Holy Spirit and will we listen when he does? Or will we join hands with the religious leaders who rejected such teachings?
We all claim to want the wisdom of God, but we are more prone to take out messengers of such wisdom when they come around. Though Jesus was wisdom itself, religious people remained very skeptical of him. Though Stephen spoke with the same kind of wisdom, he was martyred for his teachings.

God in Memory
It's easy to be in awe of God in the moments when he's very active, but we can often forget in time. Jamin talks about the importance of recording your story so that God can speak through experience.

Dealing with Rejection in Patient Evangelism
While God goes ahead of us in evangelism, he also sends us ahead of him in evangelism. Jamin talks about this dynamic while he reflects on the passage of Jesus sending the 72 disciples out ahead of him.

Pentecost Sunday
For this Pentecost Sunday, Jamin tells many stories from his life with his college mentor Ken Brewer, who passed away this week. Ken operated as Jamin's own personal Pentecost event and changed the direction of his faith and pneumatology forever.

Disrupting the Domination System
The Kingdom of Heaven works differently than the Kingdoms of Earth, and King Jesus gives us Heaven's disruptive strategies so we might subversively install his kingdom in our midst.

Collaborating with God
In Numbers 9, it's pretty clear that Israel didn't move unless God's cloud or fire led them somewhere else. But in Numbers 10, a team of Israelites sought a place to go next, and the cloud went with them. What do we do with these opposing stories? Jamin offers a suggestion based on the dynamic found throughout the rest of the Bible and in our own lives.

Christians and Politics
Few topics are messier than that of Christians and politics. Depending on what part of the Bible you read, you'll be told to listen to everything the government says or to challenge it prophetically. When do we challenge? How do we challenge? Why do we challenge? As Jamin wraps up his master's degree on theology and social justice, he uses 1 Peter as a springboard to look at the conversation from a physical and spiritual view and gives some points for action in the here and now.

Shine, Moses Shine
Sometimes you have an experience of God that is so great that everything changes and revolves around that moment. Moses had plenty of such moments, but we often reflect on his experience on the mountaintop with God. In this message, Jamin gets into several topics related to cosmology, spirituality, theosis, the image of God, spiritual gifts, and, most importantly, the intimacy of God.

Creating a Symbolic Atmosphere
God is an artisan. When he told Moses to create a Tabernacle, he had very specific symbols, materials, and objects he wanted integrated into the space with different meanings attached. We, too, create atmospheres with the objects we have…

In this message, Jamin talks about some of the objects he has and creates that help him focus on Jesus and engage in worship.
Jesus the Sentient Rock

There's a strange story in the Old Testament where Moses brings water out of a rock. This turns into an even stranger story where that rock is said to move around and be Jesus himself. What's going on here? Jamin gives some insight into these passages and why they matter today.

Reveal: Dying Well
While we are supernaturalists who believe in healing, we are also naturalists who recognize we will all die this side of the resurrection. That being said, how do we die well? We asked Kyle Herrick, a local hospice chaplain, to educate us on this topic.

God's Descendants and the Serpent's Descendants
The theme of God's kingdom arises throughout the entirety of the Bible. It is what God wants to install on the earth, is installing on the earth, and will install on the earth. But in this age, God's descendants often run up against the descendants of the serpent, who is trying to build his own kingdom through his own descendants.

The Stubbornness of Moses
We're often so lost in the wonder of the fiery bush that we don't notice how noncompliant Moses was. His combativeness caused God to offer him a concession that would complicate his future.

God of the Crisscross
When Jacob goes to bless his grandsons, he flips his hands around in the tradition of the men of his line. Despite his many misunderstandings of God, he has come to learn something about him: God tends to do things differently.

The Demons Knew Jesus
We weren't really expecting the messiah to be an exorcist, but he was. Why did demons listen to him and why were they afraid of him? Jamin offers some ideas.

Where Faith Might Lead
Hebrews gives us a long list of stories of Bible characters who saw miracles as they stayed faithful to God. Jamin shares some of these stories and more throughout history that have happened as people have remained faithful.
