From war zones to church pews, Bob found one truth: grace never stops reaching.

In this episode of Slutty Grace, Jeromy Johnson sits down with Bob Hildreth—a pastor, storyteller, and spiritual wanderer who’s walked with both the holy and the hurting. Bob shares his story of religious trauma, healing, and the surprising discovery that grace is far bigger—and far messier—than he was ever told.

Together they talk about the difference between a transactional God and a transformative one, how fear-based religion taught us to wear masks, and what happens when we finally stop trying to earn divine love and let ourselves be embraced by it. From psych wards to war zones, from theology to therapy, Bob’s story reminds us that grace is not polite, clean, or predictable—it’s relentless.

If you’ve ever wrestled with deconstruction, church hurt, or the fear of being “too far gone,” this conversation will meet you where you are. Because maybe the real tragedy isn’t loving God—it’s refusing to believe He could love everyone else just as much.

Send Jeromy a message—I'd love to hear from you!
