Welcome to John Hammer’s New Blog & Newsletter
This is Where I am Going to Write about Theology, Culture and Leadership
Thank you for taking time to check out my new blog and newsletter! Here is some of the heart and details behind it all:
Why?
I’m writing here because I have a passion to communicate my thoughts, poetry and teaching about life, culture, Scripture and Christ!
Who?
I’m writing for my people, my church family, Sonrise Christian Center. I’m writing for Christians to be equipped in their faith. I’m writing for Pentecostals and Charismatics. I’m writing for seekers and those that want to be challenged and inspired.
What?
Theology - I will be sharing theologically from a Pentecostal/Charismatic perspective that is driven by a high Christology and a deep love for Scripture. However, my theology as Pentecostal Pastor will inform not just doctrine, but also practice. My topics will range from the gospel, discipleship, healing, miracles, devotional, doctrine, the early church, revival, prayer, marriage, family, etc.
Culture - This will give me a place to address cultural issues that come up in the news, social media, art, film, media etc. I love creativity and approaching culture though a Biblical worldview and redemptive lease. I will also do regular posts to share what books, YouTube videos, articles and podcasts are making an impact on me and might benefit my readers too.
Leadership - As a leader, I love to equip and encourage other leaders. I will share on topics to strengthen kingdom minded leaders in the church and in the marketplace.
Poetry - This will also be a place where I can share my poetry and spoken word pieces.
How This Works?
If you are unfamiliar with substack, it’s a newer platform for writers to connect with their readers more easily by a blog and an email newsletter. So basically, I write on my substack blog and it automatically sends you a newsletter to your email so you can read it. If you like it, you can easily share it and reference it as well.
Thanks for joining me on this journey. In Christ,
John Hammer

Many Blessings, John, as you begin this new, challenging venture. I know the Lord will use you greatly to share with us, your Sonrise family, the wonderful insights that Holy Spirit will instill in you: for your own growth and the things you share for our growth also.
This is definitely an unbelievably challenging time we now live in. The biggest being the unrelentless spiritual warfare we now face.
Lord, strengthen us all and may we press ever closer to You in this most critical time. Quicken us to consistently intercede for our families, loved ones, Pastors, Church staff; our neighborhoods, towns, cities and this desperate and darkening Nation and World.
Maranatha! Yeshuah, Hammashiah! (hope I spelled correctly!)
Love to all, especially your precious family,
Sue Howard
Thank you Pastor John for your bold and thoughtful teaching based on the Bible.
