  1. God Without Clouds (John 12:44-50)

    God Without Clouds (John 12:44-50)

    In this episode of Rebuilding Faith, we wrestle with a bold claim: if you’ve seen Jesus, you’ve seen God. Not a cloudy, filtered, fear-based version of God—but God without distortion. What if Jesus isn’t explaining the Trinity here, but revealing the clearest picture of God we’ve ever had? And if Jesus says he didn’t come to judge but to save, what does that mean for how Christians talk about power, politics, and vulnerable people today? This conversation may challenge the God you’ve assumed and invite you to see what God looks like when there are no clouds in the way.

  2. Blind by Choice (John 12:37-43)

    FEB 8

    Blind by Choice (John 12:37-43)

    What if the real opposite of belief isn’t disbelief, but self-protection? In this episode of Rebuilding Faith, we ask why people can witness truth, injustice, and even Jesus Himself—and still refuse to see. This episode connects an ancient Gospel text to our very modern moment, where clarity feels costly and courage feels rare. If you’ve ever wondered why faith can feel so tangled up with hard hearts that refuse to change, this episode is for you.

  3. All Who Live to See Such Times (John 12:27-36)

    FEB 1

    All Who Live to See Such Times (John 12:27-36)

    What do you do when faith feels heavy, and obedience doesn’t come with clarity or peace? In this episode of Rebuilding Faith, we explore the moment when Jesus finally names what’s coming and admits, “My soul is deeply troubled.” As confusion spreads, God’s voice thunders, expectations collapse, and the cost of following Jesus becomes unmistakably real. Drawing a powerful line from the anguish of Jesus to our own troubling times, this episode wrestles honestly with fear, moral courage, and the question we all face: when the moment costs us something, what will we do with the time we’ve been given?

  4. The Tipping Point (John 12:20-26)

    JAN 25

    The Tipping Point (John 12:20-26)

    Jesus spends much of the Gospel of John saying, “My time has not yet come.” Again and again, he delays, deflects, and resists going public. Then, suddenly, everything changes—not because of a miracle, a confrontation, or a demand for proof, but because a group of outsiders shows up and says, “We want to see Jesus.” In this episode of Rebuilding Faith, we explore why that moment becomes the tipping point, why Jesus redefines glory as the cross, and why the universality of Jesus was just as offensive then as it is now.  Watch the episode on video: https://youtu.be/1pJwx80wZ7o  ----------------- Want to read my upcoming book BEFORE it comes out on March 31, 2026?

    Some Dude on a Horse (John 12:12-19)

    What kind of king are we really hoping for? In this episode of Rebuilding Faith, we step into the tension of Palm Sunday — cheering crowds, shouts of Hosanna, and a Messiah who stubbornly refuses to ride a warhorse. As Jesus enters Jerusalem on a donkey, we uncover how deeply our ideas of power shape the faith we practice and the world we help create. From ancient expectations of military deliverance to our modern obsession with force and dominance, this story exposes an uncomfortable truth: the Jesus we celebrate is often not the Jesus we actually want.  Watch the episode on video: https://youtu.be/alj7CjfK6Ew  ----------------- Want to read my upcoming book BEFORE it comes out on March 31, 2026?

  6. Leave Her Alone (John 12:1-11)

    JAN 11

    Leave Her Alone (John 12:1-11)

    This is a story many of us think we already understand... until we sit with it a little longer. In John 12, a woman’s extravagant act of devotion is met with a “reasonable” religious objection, and Jesus responds in a way that still unsettles the church today. Instead of debating logic or correcting the numbers, he protects the person. In this episode of Rebuilding Faith, we explore why that matters, how easily faith can be used to shame rather than to love, and who Jesus might be saying “leave them alone” about in our own moment. If you’ve ever felt uneasy about how quickly devotion gets policed in the name of responsibility, this conversation is for you.

    JAN 4

    The Right Kind of Danger (John 11:53-57)

    What happens when the buzz around Jesus gets louder, but the danger gets closer? In this episode of Rebuilding Faith, we step into the rising tension at the end of John 11, where rumors spread, crowds speculate, and everyone is wondering the same thing: Is he actually going to show up? As religious leaders quietly move from suspicion to resolution, Jesus does something unexpected—not avoiding danger, but refusing to be controlled by it. This is a conversation about wisdom, timing, and the kind of courage that knows when to step back without stepping away.

  8. The Ministry of Imagination (John 11:45-52)

    The Ministry of Imagination (John 11:45-52)

    Jesus raises a man from the dead—and the response is a committee meeting. In Episode 50 of Rebuilding Faith, we step into John 11:45–52, where resurrection doesn’t lead to celebration but to panic, because a clear view of Jesus threatens those in control. This episode explores why religion so often chooses preservation over faithfulness, how imagination becomes dangerous when power is at stake, and why the cross is never good news for people who like things the way they are.  Watch the episode on video: https://youtu.be/eqWFSDiu09A  ----------------- Join the online community and get access to exclusive content and experiences: https://www.jeremyjernigan.com/patron-sign-ups Trying to make sense of faith?
