About the Blog

Whether you’re a fellow geek or a Christian looking to open restrictive systems, we’re your source for fresh, fast, and reliable writings on faith, technology, United Methodism, and (obviously) all things geek.

Since 2008, Hacking Christianity has used the tenets of hacking to create a hacking hermeneutic, meaning to view Christianity like a computer system that operates well and true, but has some sections of outdated code causing problems for the movement of God’s spirit within it. Hacking Christianity exposes these errors in human interpretation and champions better solutions across various genres.

Hacking Christianity began as a United Methodist pastor’s blog (and still is!) and evolved into a clearinghouse for reflections on faith, geek theology, technology, and progressive commentary on The United Methodist Church.
