What do you do when the ground shifts beneath your faith?
When the system that taught you about God starts to crack?
When the people meant to protect the vulnerable instead protect their own power?

This week, we turn to Jeremiah, the prophet who didn’t command attention or seek power. He wept.

Jeremiah steps into a collapsing world: corrupt leaders, religious rituals masking injustice, a nation convinced the temple would save them even as everything fell apart. He names what’s broken and teaches us what honest faith sounds like when the pressure finally gives way.

And right in the middle of the ruins, Jeremiah hears God promise something new, a covenant written not on stone, but on hearts.
Centuries later, Jesus picks up that promise and completes the story.

In this episode, we’ll explore:

• Why lament isn’t weakness, it’s the beginning of truth
• How Judah’s “false confidence in the temple” echoes today
• Jeremiah’s imprisonment and courage when truth cost everything
• Babylon’s strategy of exile and what it reveals about modern empires
• The “Book of Consolation” and God’s promise of restoration
• How Jesus fulfills Jeremiah’s hope and rebuilds faith from within
• What to do when religion fails you and God meets you anyway

This episode is for anyone carrying church hurt, wrestling with inherited faith, or standing in the rubble wondering if anything good can come from what’s been lost.

God is still writing.
Even in the fault lines.
