I don’t know anything about the website Speculative Faith, or the author E. Stephen Burnett. But the following blog post on HBO hit Game of Thrones television series showed up in my time line and I felt the need to share the blog with the Gospel Spam readers. Here’s a snippet: Game of Thrones. Game...

Why did you name the site Gospel Spam?!
Gospel Spam has been around for around two months now. Myself and the other faithful Gospel Spam writers never thought it would grow in popularity as fast as it has, and for that we are truly thankful to the community.

The Village Church is Right: Christians Can Learn from Fallon
Yesterday, Matt Chandler’s The Village Church, blew up the internet with a post titled Three Things we Can Learn from Jimmy Fallon. Evangelicalism was rightly outraged. I mean how dare Kyle Worley, the post author, insinuate that Christians can learn anything from pagans. I’m kidding of course. But many people were not. It is a...
These reality television shows teach your family about capitalism!
Reality television has long been written off as mindless, cheap, factory line, entertainment. Whether you’re talking about Bad Girls Club which pits drunken, scantily clad women in a house to watch them fight, or perhaps the multiple sexes together in Big Brother or The Real World. Not to mention what could only be classified as...
