What if we’ve misunderstood what it really means to follow Jesus? In this episode of Rebuilding Faith, I unpack a deceptively simple statement from Jesus: “I am the bread of life.” But this isn’t just about carbs and cravings—it’s about the deep hunger in our souls that food can’t satisfy. We explore why anything we add to Jesus ultimately detracts from our experience with him, how bad theology and familiarity distort the face of Christianity, and why people walked away from Jesus when he didn’t fit their expectations. It's not just about what Jesus gives you… it's about whether Jesus is enough.

What if your spiritual hunger was being fed in all the wrong ways? In this episode of Rebuilding Faith, we follow the crowd chasing after Jesus, not because they want truth, but because they want dinner. After all, he just fed thousands of them with a boy’s lunch. But when they ask for another miracle, Jesus calls out their motives. We’ll challenge the assumptions of prosperity gospel thinking, explore why Jesus refuses to be a vending machine of blessings, and unpack the powerful truth that Jesus is not the means to an end—he is the end. If you’ve ever felt stuck in a cycle of needing Jesus to prove himself again and again, this message is for you.

What do you do when you’ve been waiting on Jesus, but all you get is silence? In this episode, we step into a dark night on the Sea of Galilee, where the disciples row through chaos, fear, and unmet expectations. But then something miraculous happens. Jesus walks into their storm. Join me as we explore what it means to trust Jesus before the miracle, to see God's heart in the middle of fear, and to discover the quiet hope that Jesus is still the kind of God who shows up in the dark.

What do you do when your resources feel laughably small compared to the need in front of you? In this week’s episode of Rebuilding Faith, we explore the only miracle of Jesus recorded in all four Gospels. This isn’t just a story about provision. It’s about the kind of imagination it takes to offer what you have, even when it doesn’t seem like enough. If you’ve ever felt like you don’t have what it takes, this is your invitation to step forward anyway. Because Jesus isn’t phased by your limitations. In fact, that might be exactly where he does his best work.

What if the way you’ve been reading the Bible is actually keeping you from seeing Jesus? In this episode of Rebuilding Faith, I unpack one of the most paradigm-shifting things Jesus ever said. You’ll discover why we can’t treat the Bible like a cookbook, why the Ten Commandments in public schools might be missing the point, and how Jesus flips everything we think we know about spiritual authority. With insights from Greg Boyd, C.S. Lewis, and a Texas lawmaker’s ironic moment, we explore why life isn’t found in religion, morality, or even the Bible itself… but in Jesus alone. If you’ve ever wrestled with a difficult passage or wondered how the Old Testament connects to Jesus, this episode is for you.

What if eternal life isn’t just something waiting for you after death… but something you’re meant to live in right now? In this week’s episode, we explore a surprising literary structure hidden in John’s Gospel that reveals the central heartbeat of Jesus' message. Spoiler: it’s not about someday. It’s about today. Jesus says, “Those who listen… have already passed from death into life.” That changes everything. If your faith has felt like something you’re just trying to hang onto until you die, maybe it’s time to flip the script.

In this episode of Rebuilding Faith, we explore one of the most scandalous moments in Jesus’ ministry—not because of what he did, but how he did it. When Jesus heals a man who’d been paralyzed for 38 years, the religious leaders aren’t celebrating—they’re furious. Why? Because Jesus had the audacity to break their rules. We dive into what this moment reveals about Jesus, religion, and the tension between systems and grace. If you’ve ever felt like religion cared more about control than compassion, this one’s for you.

What if the very thing holding you back… is the story you keep telling yourself? In this episode, we dive into the story of a man stuck—physically and mentally—for 38 years, and how Jesus cuts through his victim mentality with a simple but confronting question: "Do you want to get well?" We’ll explore how our “shoulds” steal our happiness, why Jesus doesn't play by the rules of Greek gods or religious expectations, and why carrying your mat might be the boldest act of healing. If you've ever felt stuck, sidelined, or overlooked, this one’s for you.
