I know this has been asked before but can anyone recommend churches around the L.A. area? I've tried Mosiac (Pasadena campus), Pasadena Mennonite, and HC (Hollywood Church).

Jake Nelson replied to Dina Poggione's discussion 'How many musicians we got on the Forum?' in the group Music

Thanks Bob! Weird, I just checked it. I must be myspace stupid too, because I can't figure out how to get that autoplay off either. I grew up in Iowa and just recently moved to South Pasadena, CA a couple months ago.

Jake Nelson replied to Dina Poggione's discussion 'How many musicians we got on the Forum?' in the group Music

I play a variety of instruments...moog, guitar, midi controllers, rhodes piano, side percussion. I play most of those (minus guitar) in the band that I'm in called "Oh Possum." I also mix live video onstage..so needless to say I gotta a lot to do. W…

Jake Nelson replied to Ron Ulmer's discussion 'What is "Secular"?' in the group Music

Great topic Ron - I've been listening and playing music for most of my life and think that the term secular has a negative connotation to people who don't consider themselves Christians. I think we as Christians should discontinue the use of that te…

1. Tom Waits, The Black Keys, The Kills 2. iTunes, my secret hipster friend, Pandora 3. Surprisingly there's not a whole lot in L.A. unless their mega huge. I would check out "The Ghastly Ones" if you like creepy surf

Vance Frederic Breise commented on Jake Nelson's blog post 'What's the deal with Faith?'

It takes faith 'in' Jesus to open the door of your heart and let Him on to 'your' throne. After that you have the faith 'of' Jesus, it's part of the 'package deal,*' when you accept Jesus; 'the Gift of God.' (* His heart, His mind, [His faith] His R…

Was just thinking the other day about a question I ask myself all the time, but seemed different when someone else asked it to me. “What is the purpose of all this?” (Meaning life).yes""> It’s funny, no matter how much studying or research I do in t…

Jake Nelson replied to Ryan's discussion 'Can an object have a demon attached to it?'

My thoughts...I think the only thing demons can take hold of is your subconscious. I say that based on what I've read in scripture and with personal experience. I think it's superstition to think objects or even places can be demon possessed, I've t…

I was thinking the same think the other day Trevor. I think those figures fuel the capitalistic side of our holidays, at least in the states . How does capitalism work in those holidays if we have the ultimate icon figure Christ?...Who spoke against…

Noticing the Always Has Been

Like a lot of people I enjoy running. There’s something peaceful about getting out in the rawness of nature, and testing your physical strength. For me, I’ll often have these moments where I feel God is speaking to me very clearly. This isn’t an audible thing, but rather a whole body experience.

As a kid I’d always be very interested when someone said they heard God speaking to them. I remember there was this missionary speaking at the Christian school I went to….he started talking about t… Continue

What's the deal with Faith?

Was just thinking the other day about a question I ask myself all the time, but seemed different when someone else asked it to me. “What is the purpose of all this?” (Meaning life).

Are you playing an instrument in your pic? Or is that a soundboard?
