About Jamie Hallman
I’m Jamie Hallman, creator of Fact Checked Faith. For much of my life, I allowed my feelings, opinions, and the beliefs of others to shape how I understood God and made decisions. I did not always recognize where I was living contrary to His Word, or how much I was relying on my own understanding rather than submitting to Jesus as my King and Lord.
As I began devoting more time to Scripture, my understanding of God and my relationship with Him began to change. I realized that biblical wisdom was not beyond my reach simply because others seemed to have greater knowledge or understanding. Through the Holy Spirit, prayer, and diligent study of God’s Word, I could continue to grow in understanding. As I learned to trust God’s authority and sought to obey Him, my life began to bear more fruit. I experienced a deeper joy, gratitude, and peace than I had known before.
This continued transformation is at the heart of Fact Checked Faith. I felt God calling me to share what I was learning, even though creating videos was far outside my comfort zone. I struggled with the time, the filming, and feeling inadequate. Yet I kept returning to the conviction that time spent pursuing things of eternal value is never wasted.
I believe many of us long for the fruit of the Spirit while neglecting the very things that nurture our spiritual growth: knowing God, spending time in His Word, and walking in obedience. The fruit is produced by His Spirit, but we are called to cultivate the soil in our lives through these practices. My hope is that these studies encourage you to cherish Scripture, seek God through prayer and your relationship with Christ, and examine what you believe against His Word. Scripture is living and sufficient to guide us in truth. We do not need to look beyond God for the wisdom, direction, and lasting fulfillment that are found in Him.
Beyond Fact Checked Faith
Outside of Fact Checked Faith, I’m the owner of Consider It Closed LLC, a real estate transaction coordination company I founded in 2021 and still lead. I hold a B.S. in Human Nutrition and spent nearly a decade as a Registered Dietitian, providing nutrition and wellness guidance to individuals and groups. I’m also the author of The Expectation Gap, which explores how expectations shape our relationships and how we can respond when reality falls short.
A Little More About Me
My life has taken me in a few unexpected directions, all of which have shaped who I am and given me plenty of stories to tell. I love traveling and have visited 22 countries, including spending a year overseas on The World Race, an international mission trip that took me to a different country each month for 11 months. I once dreamed of becoming an Army combat medic, but alas, I was medically disqualified. These days, I enjoy strength training, reading and listening to audiobooks, trying new latte flavors at local coffee shops, working on nonograms, and taking long outdoor walks with my AirPods on blast. I’m also a big sci-fi fan (“Do. Or do not. There is no try.”), a video game geek (my Nintendo Switch is a must-pack for trips), and a former drummer! If you’re wondering how all of this fits together, so am I. I’m not entirely sure what my niche is, but it probably involves a Bible, a barbell, and a latte.
“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”
