About Me

My name is Travis Stockelman, and I started Nazarene Caffeine in May of 2020 as an outlet for writing on various biblical and theological topics from a Wesleyan perspective. Prior to beginning Nazarene Caffeine, I wrote for various Christian websites on topics such as the Bible, theology, and apologetics. I decided to found Nazarene Caffeine as an outlet where I could write about topics that I am passionate about. I had a desire to correct misunderstandings about the Bible and theology, while also sharing, articulating, and defending my Wesleyan theological roots.

I am also currently the Senior Pastor at Georgetown Church of the Nazarene in Georgetown, Ohio. This is a position that I took on August 6, 2023. While here, we have seen God do great things, and we have had the opportunity to celebrate baptisms, receive new members, and see lives changed by Jesus Christ. If you live in Brown County, Ohio and are looking for a church, you are invited to join us on Sundays or Wednesdays. You can find more information about us at our website.

I hold a B.A. Min. from Nazarene Bible College and am currently pursuing an M.Div. from Wesley Biblical Seminary. I graduated from Nazarene Bible College in 2020, although I was unable to walk the stage until 2021. After graduation from NBC, I began attending Nazarene Theological Seminary until I eventually transferred to Wesley Biblical Seminary in the Summer of 2021, where I am currently finishing an M.Div. Honors Research.

Some of them are hard copies, and some of them are pdf versions of their magazine. Either way, they are free, and they are chock-full of good information. 1. The Voice of the Martyrs The Voice of the Martyrs was founded in 1967 by Romanian pastor Richard Wurmbrand. After the USSR took over Romania in 1944, Wurmbrand worked with the underground church, which eventually led to his arrest and 14 years of torture and persecution in Communist prison. Eventually, Wurmbrand was ransomed out and came to the United States. Since Wurmbrand founded the organization, it has worked tirelessly to keep Christians in the Western world informed about the persecution that our brothers and sisters around the world are going through, as well as providing ...

Inspired In English?: The Implications Of Peter Ruckman's Claims

  Introduction There are different beliefs within the King James Only Movement. I would like to explore two of them in this introduction. It is important to understand some key distinctions between these two groups, or else it may seem that I am attacking a position that I am not attacking. Therefore, I will draw a distinction between two different groups within the King James Only Movement. The first camp simply asserts that the King James Version is the best English translation. This claim could be labelled the "Classic KJV-Only" position. This is the position that was held by what appears to be the majority of people who advocated for the King James Version's superiority to other translations up until about the middle of the 20th century. Typically, a person in this group will hold to the idea that the Textus Receptus is divinely preserved, and the King James Version is the best translation from the Textus Receptus. Or, in some cases, that the Textus Receptus is the be...
