The following is a guest post by Amy Tori. I was humbled that her sources ranked my humble video (Epic Jesus) in the top 10. — One area I recently found that was really interesting was “church marketing videos”. While it may seem like a niche that has the same boring, repetitive content, these videos truly showcase the key factors of video content marketing and you should take notes. These types of videos can include church promotions, events, announcements, live... Read more

Also, if you are new to my work, my new book INSURGENCE: Reclaiming the Gospel of the Kingdom is on sale on Amazon. Three recent volumes on Paul are as follows. I’m not sure what’s new in them on the subject, as it’s rare to come across new material on Paul of Tarsus, but I’ll... Read more

The New Testament is made up of numerous letters to the church, written by apostolic workers like Paul of Tarsus, Simon Peter, John and others. Paul alone wrote 9 letters to the church (or the early ekklesias during his day). Those letters to the churches are fascinating on a number of fronts. First, these letters give us a peek into the apostolic message of God’s Eternal Purpose. Second, the letters also give us a window into the life of the... Read more
Like their predecessors, the “New Athiests” have had a field day with the Old Testament, using it to malign God and cast aspersions on His goodness. This isn’t terribly hard to do. Just open up Exodus, Numbers, or Deuteronomy and start reading them with a modern-Western-rational mindset. Enter David Lamb’s compelling book, God Behaving Badly: Is the God of the Old Testament Angry, Sexist and Racist? Lamb is an Old Testament scholar. And his God Behaving Badly is a fog-clearing piece of work... Read more
Have you ever read the Old Testament . . . all of it? It’s riddled with episodes of God becoming angry, God being filled with hot-boiling wrath, God changing His mind, God commanding Israel to destroy other nations — including the women and children, God creating “seemingly” crazy unreasonable laws, God allowing injustices, etc. etc. Right? All of this has given atheists, agnostics, and those hostile to Christianity ample ammunition to try and discredit the faith. At the end of... Read more
