About Jeremy Jernigan

Jeremy is passionate about asking better questions, letting go of certainty, and creating spaces where doubt and discovery are welcome companions. If you’ve ever felt like the version of Christianity you were handed doesn’t quite line up with the Jesus you read about in the Gospels, you’re not alone—and you’re in the right place.

After stepping away from his Lead Pastor role and two decades of full-time church ministry, Jeremy now focuses on creating content that invites people to see beyond a Christianity based on fear and control. His Rebuilding Faith series unpacks the Bible in ten minutes or less each weekend. In addition, he hosts a biweekly podcast called Cabernet and Pray, which explores Christianity through the beauty of wine.

Jeremy speaks regularly in various churches and teaches college courses as an adjunct professor. Through his company, Communion Wine Co., he gathers people together to experience Jesus in new ways. Jeremy also owns and runs two short-term rentals in Oregon wine country.

He operates somewhere between the ancient and the emerging, between the structure of Sunday mornings and the spontaneity of new leadings of the Spirit.

His ideas are shaped by a deep belief that good theology looks like Jesus. That means he takes the Bible seriously enough not to take it literally at all times. It means he's more interested in transformation than tradition. And it means he believes God's character is best revealed through love, not power.
