Spread the word about JHBC!

Hello readers! We're taking a break from the usual research article this week and taking the opportunity to promote Jackson Hole Bible College. Check out our new video, and share with others!


Our one-year intensive program is geared towards discipleship and worldview training. The nine months students spend here will impact them for eternity!

“There isn’t a day I don’t use something I learned at JHBC. Not a day. Class of ’00. Thank you all so much.” Meaghan Newell

We are dedicated to presenting the “big picture” schematic of the Bible. From Genesis to Revelation, our courses teach apologetic principles that will cultivate a strong Biblical worldview in students. Our curriculum is based in creationism, dispensationalism, and biblical inerrancy. We stand unwaveringly on the authority of the Word of God and aim to provide students with a high view of Scripture and the ability to apply its truth to their lives.

One of the greatest events in all of history occurred roughly two thousand years ago, in a small town called Bethlehem. The outcome of this event literally changed everything, for it is the event where God humbled Himself and took on the form of man. You may ask, why is this so significant? How did it change everything? How does it affect me? Well, read on and pray that God will open your eyes to realize how incredible the event of Christ’s birth, death and resurrection truly is.

The wise men are in the group of people commonly featured in most Christmas nativity scenes. They can also be grouped into the intelligent ancient man category. They were skilled astronomers, and while we don’t really know much about them, they are an important example for us about the true focus of Christmas.

Traditions of Christmas

By Analea Styles

To begin this post, we want to be clear that we are not condemning Christmas or the classic Christmas traditions and symbols. This post is merely to inform and encourage you to think about what we truly celebrate during this season and why.

The Christmas holiday has been a beloved celebration for hundreds of years for many Christians. Many people believe that Christmas really began with the birth of Christ and is a purely Christian holiday but this is actually not the case. Here are a few examples of Christmas traditions that may have roots in ancient pagan practices.
