Rebuilding Faith

Hosted by: Jeremy Jernigan is a pastor, author, and podcast host passionate about helping people reconstruct faith after deconstruction. As the creator and voice behind Rebuilding Faith, Jeremy brings over two decades of pastoral experience and biblical teaching to guide listeners who feel stuck between doubt and belief. Rebuilding Faith is a podcast for anyone wrestling with questions about God, the Bible, or the Church. Each episode delivers a ten-minute message rooted in Scripture, designed for people navigating faith deconstruction, spiritual doubt, or a longing to make sense of Christianity in today’s world. Jeremy draws from biblical texts to show that good theology is theology that looks like Jesus. Whether you’re exploring Christianity for the first time, leaving behind toxic religion, or searching for a Jesus-looking God, Rebuilding Faith offers biblical insight, practical application, and encouragement for the journey. Perfect for individuals, small groups, families, or church communities, this podcast provides a safe place for questions and honest exploration of faith. This podcast is for you if you find yourself asking questions such as: - What do I do when my faith doesn’t make sense anymore? - How can I read the Bible without feeling trapped by literalism? - Is there a way to believe in God without embracing toxic religion? - What does faith look like after deconstruction? - How do I reconcile my doubts with following Jesus? - Is it possible to see God as love instead of fear and judgment? - Why does the Church often look so little like Jesus? - How do I know if my theology actually looks like Jesus? - What do I do with the parts of the Bible that don’t make sense? - How can I practice Christianity in a way that values questions and doubts? - Is there a safe space for people who no longer fit in traditional churches? - How do I raise my kids with faith when I’m not sure what I believe myself? - Can I follow Jesus without accepting harmful versions of Christianity? - Is there hope for people who feel burned out, disillusioned, or spiritually exhausted? - Can I still follow Jesus if I don't resonate with Christianity? If you’ve asked any of these questions, Rebuilding Faith is designed for you. Each episode is short, thoughtful, and deeply rooted in Scripture, helping you rebuild a faith that looks like Jesus.
