Journey NOW

What if a Bible study and a comedy show had a baby? Between bidet jokes and dog stories, the crew dives deep into Jeremiah’s message—what it means to stay faithful when everyone else seems to be missing the point.

They unpack why following Jesus isn’t about saving a nation but living out love wherever you are. Turns out, being God’s people has less to do with borders and more to do with kindness, humility, and maybe cleaning up after your dog once in a while.

We aren’t rickrolling you: Kevin Dixon, Suzie Lind and Mike Erre are responding to every single textline question this week—live, unrehearsed and on-air. Join them and special guest Seth Erre as we continue to explore Jeremiah’s picture of the church as God’s faithless wife. We know the game, and we’re gonna play it.

Turn on our pod, relax and float downstream. Suzie Lind, Kevin Dixon and Mike Erre are talking about prophets—and the harm caused by false prophets. Is prophecy about more than the future? Should I pay attention when someone has "a word for me from God'?

It’s Exile week at NOW as we begin our study of Jeremiah. And, come to think of it, we’re also missing some people on the podcast. Those left behind—Tim Timmons, Kevin Dixon and Mike Erre—are asking what it means to live as an exile in a foreign land.

What did that mean for the Israelites, and how can we apply their experience in our own lives. Also: Mike is disappointed with his eternal body. Suzie Lind is gone, but we got a text from the other side. And, Tim’s leaving out T-shirts for the neighbors on Rapture Day.

Is it true or just a rumor? Journey NOW editor Grant Opperman joins Tim Timmons, Suzie Lind Mike Erre to explain why the podcast went suspiciously missing last week. Together, they also unpack the differences between how Jesus called people to repentance through love versus how the pharisees did it (hint: not through love). But first, get your tinfoil hat, get away from any electromagnetic energy and wash off those chemtrails: JourneyNOW is revealing the hidden truth in "conspiracies."

We're learning about Jesus' orgé anger, a settled opposition that contrasts with the thumos "flying off the handle" emotion we so often feel. Layla Shahmohammedi joins Kevin Dixon, Mike Erre, and Tim Timmons to explore what orgé passion and action looks like in the context of current divisive topics like immigration and abortion.

Suzie Lind, Mike Erre and Tim Timmons reflect on Sunday’s conversation about a Jesus who’s not so compelling to those who don’t think they need Him—and how his kingdom responds to the outsiders and sinners who desperately do.

This week, we’re talking about covenantal prayer, aligning with God and seeing ourselves as gift recipients rather than entitled people. 

But, before Mike Erre, Kevin Dixon, Tim Timmons and Suzie Lind explore covenants, they gotta break a few rules.
