It was a war of attrition this round with epic battles being fought all over the place, including the upset of the tournament so far. After nearly 41,000 votes were cast this round (that’s over 65,000 votes total so far and a new 2nd round record!!), we have our Exquisite 8!! (Quick Note: Apparently there was a glitch and some people were still able to cast votes after I closed the polls at 10pm. Those votes did not count towards... Read more

In the time honored (4 year) tradition that is American Jesus Madness, I like to offer a breakdown of the first round matchups as a guide of sorts to voting. Who or what you vote for and why is, of course, completely up to you, but I know there are plenty of people out there in internet land who are not familiar with everyone or everything in the tournament.

Anywho, here’s what you need to know about in the world of Jesus this week. First up, did you... Read more

For the uninitiated, American Jesus Madness is a tournament dating all the way back to the dawn of time. Which, as Ken Ham’s even more conservative cousin Keith... Read more
(Painting by Krystyna Sikora) Back in college one my professors shared what he called the most challenging question any student had ever asked. What really changed after the resurrection? On the surface it’s a deceptively simple question to answer for most Christians. Without much hesitation we would say things like, “Evil has been defeated!” “The grave has been conquered!” or “Salvation has come to the world!” But when we really get honest with ourselves and take a hard look at...
