Jamin Featured on Relevant Magazine
February 19, 2019 21:40While technically this excerpt from my book, A Taste of Jesus, was published on their page about two years ago, it was just republished…
Azazel
February 18, 2019 00:43 - 29 minutes - 40.5 MBin Leviticus 16 there are two goats: one given to Yahweh, and one given to Azazel. But who’s Azazel? And why is he given a goat? And what does it have to do with a message in our series on the Gospel of Matthew? Learn more about tonight’s message in Michael Heiser’s book, The Unseen Realm, or in Hans Moscicke academic paper, "The Gerasene Exorcism and Jesus's Eschatological Expulsion of Cosmic Powers: Echoes of Second Temple Scapegoat Traditions in Mark 5.1-20."
Introduction to Revelation
February 16, 2019 21:05 - 1 hour - 130 MBSince many who expressed interest were missing for our introductory class, we've recreated it on the 1208PODCAST so that you can get caught up to speed before you join in! The first part of the episode is an introduction to the book of Revelation and the second part is a look at Revelation 1 so that you can get a feel for the kind of things we'll be talking about. Next week's class will be on the letters to the seven churches in Revelation 2-3, so read those chapters so you're ready ahead of...
Elohim
February 13, 2019 21:20 - 43 minutes - 59.7 MBGenesis 3:5 says “For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” However, there’s probably a better way to interpret the Hebrew here—but it requires quite a bit of explanation.
Go Deeper into Jamin's Message on Chaos
February 12, 2019 15:33Today Jamin released a new book on Sunday’s topic of chaos and chaos creatures…
Chaos
February 11, 2019 04:01 - 33 minutes - 45.9 MBJesus sleeping through a storm while on a boat means a lot more once you understand the significance of the sea in an ancient's mind.
The Serpent
February 09, 2019 15:58 - 40 minutes - 55.4 MBWhat was the serpent in the Garden of Eden? A talking snake? Satan manifested as a snake? A snake taken over by Satan? Something else? Because the Bible later connects this snake to Satan, Jamin gives us some thoughts to think on about our cosmic enemy and his Biblical backstory.
The Heart of a Pharisee
February 04, 2019 00:57 - 25 minutes - 35.4 MBThe pharisees were full of pride and it twisted good things they did into bad things. Jesus calls them out on it in the Sermon on the Mount and Jamin expands on this criticism.
Marriage
January 30, 2019 18:44 - 31 minutes - 43.1 MBToday we take a look at what marriage is from the perspective of Genesis 1, which a perspective that Jesus reiterates himself.
You Are the Light of the World
January 28, 2019 14:43 - 28 minutes - 38.7 MBSo often we think only of Jesus as "the light of the world," but believe it or not, he called his followers "the light of the world" as well. Today we jump deeper into this theme.
The Tree of Life
January 23, 2019 14:35 - 24 minutes - 34.3 MBThe Tree of Life that we find in Eden is an important symbol in the Bible and something that all Christians will partake in down the road.
Fullness of Healing
January 21, 2019 01:56 - 37 minutes - 51.5 MBToday's passage shows us Jesus healing "every disease and every affliction," a common theme we found throughout the gospels. Jamin takes this theme into a wider scope to show us all the dimensions in which Jesus wants to bring healing into our lives and our world.
The Sabbath Presence
January 17, 2019 03:44 - 29 minutes - 40.1 MBToday we focus on the fact that God rested after having made the world. And as we look closely into the culture of the Bible writers, we see the reasons as to why He rested and the importance of Sabbath and the presence of God.
Sexual Temptation
January 14, 2019 01:18 - 41 minutes - 56.7 MBNot only did Jesus beat temptation in the desert, but he beat it in every single way. That is not to say that temptation was easy for Jesus—just that he succeeded in beating the urge to sin. This should speak volumes to us, because often we think that God couldn't understand our temptations and addictions, when he had to face the same possibilities of sinning as we did. In today's message, we continue to work with this logic to talk about a sin that all humans are known to struggle with: se...
Evolution
January 10, 2019 03:30 - 58 minutes - 79.7 MBIn today’s midweek edition of the 1208PODCAST, Jamin brings pastor and biological-physicist, Kevin Eccles onto the mic to talk about evolution and the Genesis account. Can the two work hand-in-hand or must they be separated?
Jamin's Latest Book Now on Audible
January 08, 2019 00:04Audiobook listeners, We’re happy to finally release to you, “The Rush and the Rest.” See if the preview interests you and then dive into Scripture to learn more about these topics that often get ignored…
Repentance
January 07, 2019 02:30 - 31 minutes - 43.1 MBJohn the Baptist and Jesus had the same message: “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Repentance is something we do not just when we become Christians, but as we continue to go throughout life.
Christian Environmentalism
January 02, 2019 20:35 - 56 minutes - 77.5 MBWhile many have created a theology that says nature doesn't matter, Genesis is very much about humanity being put in charge of taking care of the planet. Jamin expresses a few reasons why he thinks Christians often aren't concerned with environmentalism and tries to show us some passages in a different light to help us think otherwise. In the second half of the podcast, 1208er Erin Shott—who holds a masters in Environmental Management with a concentration in Conservation—calls in from Scotl...
God's Timing
December 31, 2018 05:27 - 28 minutes - 39.5 MBSometimes God tells us what to do very clearly and other times He doesn't. What do we do when He doesn't?
Be Fruitful and Multiply
December 28, 2018 14:06 - 21 minutes - 29.6 MBGod’s command to “Be Fruitful and Multiply” is often used by pastors to talk about the goodness of marital sex (which is all well and good), but this ignores the mission at play in the command. As it ends up, there's a real reason for this command based on the fact that we are imagers of God, and so this command is still at play today in a way. We also answer a question from Sunday’s message on refugees: “Is the fear that some have of foreigners, derived from societal constructs and nationa...
The Suffering at Christmas
December 25, 2018 02:48 - 21 minutes - 28.9 MBWe often get so caught up in the joy of Christmas that it's easy to miss all the suffering. But when we do pay attention we find that the almighty God of the universe isn't just with us in Jesus, but He suffers with us as well.
Refugee Jesus
December 24, 2018 01:54 - 31 minutes - 43 MBThere's a lot of talk today about building walls and keeping refugees, foreigners and outsiders away. But when we do this, we are pushing Jesus Himself away—for the beloved Christmas story reminds us that Jesus was a refugee.
In Our Image
December 20, 2018 01:39 - 16 minutes - 22.7 MBWho's God talking to when He says, "Let us create man in our image"? Is He talking to the Trinity? Or someone else? Jamin covers this question in this week's midweek edition of the 1208PODCAST.
Three Types of People
December 18, 2018 18:55 - 18 minutes - 26 MBIn her final message at 1208 before she leaves at the end of the year to go plant a recovery church here in Jackson, Myisha preaches on the different types of people at play in the Christmas story.
The Greater & Lesser Light
December 14, 2018 17:08 - 18 minutes - 24.9 MBIn this week's Midweek Edition episode, Jamin explains why the sun and the moon are labeled the greater and lesser light in the Genesis creation story. This launches us into conversations about ancient astrology and even takes us into the story of the wisemen in the Christmas story.
Joshua
December 10, 2018 14:33 - 30 minutes - 42.1 MBJust as a "Pedro" might today introduce his name to an English-speaking person as "Peter," so would a Hebrew "Joshua" have introduced himself to a Greek-speaking person as, "Jesus" in the New Testament era. This transliteration reminds us to focus in on the meaning of Jesus' name as the angel communicated it to Joseph in the Christmas story.
Ruah
December 05, 2018 15:12 - 14 minutes - 19.6 MBToday we launch a new series on the Old Testament called, "The Midweek Edition." Today we learn more about the "Ruah"—the Spirit of God—and we look at the places He's seen creating in the Bible, staring with Genesis 1:2.
Son of David
December 03, 2018 00:55 - 30 minutes - 41.9 MBA new series on the Gospel of Matthew kicks off just in time for the Christmas season. Jamin dives into some Greek and Hebrew to help us see the significance of Jesus being the Son of David.
To Be or Not to Be Content
November 29, 2018 14:23 - 22 minutes - 30.6 MBMyisha acknowledges Paul's incredible ability to be content while in jail and challenges us to pursue our own contentment with God.
Whatever Is...
November 19, 2018 14:15 - 22 minutes - 31.5 MBToday's verse once convicted Jamin and ruined his night and everyone else's. He shares his story and encourages us to pay attention to the worldly things we participate in that don't blend well with Christianity.
Heavenward
November 12, 2018 02:03 - 30 minutes - 42.1 MBWe learned last week that it's faith alone that saves us, but this week we learn that people have different ways of working this theology into their lives. One of these ways is Christian while the other way makes us an enemy of the cross.
Salvation By Faith Alone
November 05, 2018 03:24 - 27 minutes - 38 MBThe Bible tells us that faith in Jesus alone can save us and that is it. But then the Bible also paints pictures that say how we live our lives matters to salvation as well. So which is it? Is it faith alone? If so, then what part does good works play in the conversation?
Emotional Vampire
November 05, 2018 03:10 - 17 minutes - 24.1 MBMyisha preaches on Philippians 2:12-18.
The Servant Songs
October 25, 2018 13:10 - 20 minutes - 28.5 MBPaul calls Jesus a "servant," a powerful image to the people of his time both from a cultural perspective and from within the world of messianic expectation. Jamin takes us deeper into the humility of Jesus that Christians are to imitate and takes us deeper into Isaiah's 4-5 servant songs to show us the prophetic words Jesus was fulfilling in his servanthood.
Prison Letters
October 15, 2018 14:18 - 25 minutes - 34.5 MBPhilippians is one of Paul's four letters that he wrote from prison. In this particular letter, he is found celebrating the Kingdom work that is coming out of the imprisonment he's enduring. Jamin reminds us that the Spirit can call us into persecution and gives us the space to take joy in these moments.
Progressive Paul
October 08, 2018 00:18 - 26 minutes - 36.7 MBMany of Paul's words often get used to demean women and other minorities, but Paul's instructions were quite progressive for his time—not regressive. It's important we take the whole Bible into account as well as the culture Paul was in to understand just how extraordinary his message was. The conversation on women and the church continues all week at www.jaminbradley.com
New Creation
October 01, 2018 20:33 - 26 minutes - 35.8 MBWhen we accept Jesus we become a new creation that belongs with the new creation when the Kingdom of Heaven takes over the planet in Revelation. Jamin explains more as he makes his way through Colossians.
Philosophy or Deity?
September 24, 2018 22:11 - 16 minutes - 23 MBThere are all kinds of things in life that tell us they have all the answers, but Paul understood that Jesus was the answer—for the fullness of deity was found in him. Therefore, all of the things we learn should be submitted and tested against Him.
Q&A Episode 6
September 18, 2018 17:35 - 17 minutes - 23.4 MBSean asks, "When evangelizing, how do we know when to use words instead of letting actions speak?”

Put on Your Shoes
September 17, 2018 13:17 - 14 minutes - 20 MBThe cross reconciles all things and redeems us by submitting us to death to self and life in Christ. Myisha elaborates on this reconciliation and what it looks like for us.
Fully God, Fully Man
September 10, 2018 13:48 - 21 minutes - 29.1 MBIt is a common statement that "Jesus was fully God and fully man," but it seems people rarely address how that works out. How can Jesus be fully God and fully man? If we take a close look, we see that the Bible actually explains this conundrum a little more fully than we thought at first glance.
Our New Dinner Church Video
September 04, 2018 12:58Our final dinner church promo video is live on Facebook! Help us share it and get the word out to our neighbors that we launch THIS Sunday!
The Week Before the Launch
September 03, 2018 17:11 - 28 minutes - 39 MBIn our final message of season 3, Jamin reminisces about our summer's progression into the dinner church model and shares stories of what God has said and done along the way. Next week begins a new podcast season and a new chapter in 1208's life.
Christian Identity
August 27, 2018 13:30 - 34 minutes - 46.7 MBJamin explains the spiritual background of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation and gets into some confusing and often ignored passages along the way.
Why We Learn Together
August 25, 2018 13:44 - 28 minutes - 39.1 MBMyisha preaches on the importance of learning together and following the Spirit as he gives us all we need to do ministry. As she preaches we felt the Spirit grow in our hearts and pour out following her message.
Jamin Releases New Book and Trailer
August 25, 2018 13:30After many years of teaching and preaching on spiritual gifts, Jamin has finally released a book on it all to help you grow in supernatural ministry. You can grab a physical or Kindle copy on Amazon.
Why We Worship Together
August 12, 2018 18:38 - 29 minutes - 40.9 MBIn this message, Jamin reads a chapter about supernatural worship music from his new, yet-to-be-released book, The Rush and the Rest. As it ends up, the Bible gives us several stories about how music can be used to engage God and influence the spiritual realm.
Why We Practice Peacemaking
August 06, 2018 14:38 - 28 minutes - 39.7 MBViolence is accepted by most in some way, shape, or form, but Jamin searches the Scriptures to show us how Jesus refuses to endorse it and even goes so far as to disarm Christians. If we can embody this kind of radical peacemaking, then we'll be ready to make peace in all areas of our lives.
Q&A Ep 5: What Are the Psalms For?
July 31, 2018 18:11 - 20 minutes - 28.6 MBJamin always struggled with praying and singing the Psalms, especially the more vindictive ones. In order to address today's question, he shares a bit from his own life and works off of C.S. Lewis' book, "Reflections on the Psalms," as well as the Lexham Bible Dictionary.
