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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Jamin, Aimee, and Kyle answer questions related to healing after preaching their messages at Reveal.

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.
