Rebuilding Faith

What happens when Jesus tells the most religious people of his day that their true father isn’t Abraham—or even God—but the devil? In this episode of Rebuilding Faith, we look at one of Jesus’ boldest confrontations and why it matters for us today. Because while anyone can claim a spiritual lineage, Jesus reminds us that lineage isn’t claimed—it’s displayed. The question is: what does your life reveal?

What if everything you’ve been taught about freedom is upside down? In John 8, Jesus makes a bold claim: true freedom doesn’t come from doing whatever you want—it comes from choosing the right Master. It’s a paradox that turns our cultural idea of liberty on its head. In this week’s episode of Rebuilding Faith, we explore how surrendering to Jesus is the only way to actually experience freedom.

What do you do when people come after you online, especially when they do it in the name of Jesus? In this episode of Rebuilding Faith, we find that Jesus Himself knew how to stand up to unhealthy systems and call out bogus leaders, all without losing sight of who God is. If you’ve ever been told to “just preach Jesus” in a way that avoids conflict, this message will challenge you to see that sometimes following Jesus looks a little salty. Listen in and be reminded: looking like Jesus doesn’t mean staying quiet—it means standing for truth, love, and a God who is always with us.

What if God’s hands weren’t clenched in anger, but stretched wide in love? In this week’s episode of Rebuilding Faith, we contrast Jonathan Edwards’ infamous sermon with Jesus’ words in John 8. We’ll explore how a distorted picture of God leads to fear and despair, while a Jesus-looking God invites us into life, light, and healing. You’ll discover why seeing Jesus in the Old Testament, in the New Testament, and as the Resurrected Christ today can reshape everything you believe about God.

What happens when your worst day collides with Jesus? In this episode of Rebuilding Faith, we step into one of the rawest moments in John 8—a woman dragged into the temple, shamed, and facing death. The religious leaders thought they had the perfect trap for Jesus, but instead, he flips the script, turns the spotlight onto the accusers, and offers the woman something she never saw coming: grace. Along the way, we’ll explore why this story might have hit close to home for Jesus himself, what he could have been writing in the dust, and why the gospel always shifts the focus from condemnation to restoration. If you’ve ever felt crushed by disappointment, judged by others, or caught in a system stacked against you—this message is for you.

What happens when you speak up for someone else? In John 7, we watch Nicodemus risk his reputation to defend Jesus, only to be mocked and lumped in with the very person he’s standing up for. The truth is, whenever you love the other, you often become the other. In this episode of Rebuilding Faith, we explore what it means to cross the line from “us” to “them,” and why real love always calls us to use our voice—even if it costs us.

What if your deepest thirst could finally be satisfied? At the end of an eight-day festival all about water, Jesus stands up and shouts an offer no one saw coming: “Anyone who is thirsty may come to me!” This was a bold claim to be the very source of life itself. In this episode, we’ll step into the drama of John 7, unpack why Jesus’ timing and words were so shocking, and explore what it means for you when the things you’ve been chasing still leave you empty. If you’ve ever felt like the world keeps telling you to “stay thirsty,” this is the invitation you’ve been waiting for.

Ever feel like Jesus doesn’t fit the mold you were taught to expect? You're not alone. In this episode, we explore a moment in John 7 when people couldn’t accept Jesus precisely because they recognized him. He was too familiar to be the Messiah they were waiting for. It turns out that Jesus rarely shows up the way we expect him to. What if the biggest obstacle to recognizing Jesus in your life is… your idea of Jesus?

Why are we so quick to point out the faults of others, but so slow to see those same issues in ourselves? In this episode, we explore one of Jesus’ most relevant critiques—not of sin in general, but of inconsistent faith. From a crowd confused by Jesus’ authority to religious leaders upset over a Sabbath healing, the deeper issue is clear: they didn’t apply their beliefs consistently. And neither do we. If you’ve ever felt the tension between what you believe and how you live, this message is for you. Because good theology always looks like Jesus.

What if the biggest threat to your spiritual life isn’t sin, doubt, or even suffering... but your schedule? In this episode, we look at how Jesus responds to danger, pressure, and a push for fame (and what that reveals about the pace of our own lives). His brothers mock him. His hometown isn’t safe. But Jesus refuses to rush. We unpack what it means when Dallas Willard says, “Hurry is the great enemy of spiritual life in our day,” and how learning to slow down might be the most Christlike thing we can do.
