Slutty Grace | Deconstruction, Christian Universalism, & Faith Beyond Fear

Send Jeromy a Message or VoicemailWhat happens when the faith that once gave your life meaning… stops working?In this episode of Slutty Grace, Jeromy sits down with Jim Palmer—former megachurch pastor, founder of The Center for Non-Religious Spirituality, and guide for those navigating Christian deconstruction, religious trauma, and life after leaving the church.Jim shares his story of rising through the ranks of evangelical Christianity, only to discover a growing disconnect between what he was preaching and what people were actually experiencing. Behind the polished surface of church life, he saw anxiety, brokenness, and quiet suffering—including within himself. That tension eventually led him to walk away from ministry, deconstruct his beliefs, and begin the difficult process of rebuilding a life and spirituality from the inside out.Together, Jeromy and Jim explore:What it really feels like to go through faith deconstructionThe loss of identity, community, and certainty after leaving religionWhy so many people experience church hurt and spiritual traumaThe fear of “losing God” when questioning your beliefsAnd what it might look like to follow Jesus beyond religionJim reframes deconstruction not as failure, but as a threshold—a deep, internal transformation happening beneath the surface. Instead of rushing to replace old beliefs with new ones, he invites listeners to sit in the questions, trust the process, and begin forming a more honest, grounded spiritual life.If you’re questioning your faith, feeling untethered after leaving Christianity, or wondering what comes next—this conversation is for you.Because maybe Christianity broke…but something deeper didn’t.Maybe you’re not losing your faith.Maybe you’re finding what was real all along.LINK: The Center for Non-Religious SpiritualitySupport the show_______________________________________________________Grace doesn’t hold back.

Send Jeromy a Message or VoicemailIf God really restores all things… does that include Satan?In this episode, Jeromy sits down with Justin Coutts to explore one of the most uncomfortable—and revealing—questions in Christian theology: can Satan and demons be saved?What starts as a listener question turns into a much deeper conversation about the nature of evil, the purpose of hell, and whether anything is truly beyond the reach of God’s love.Together, they unpack:why early Christian thought didn’t always see demons as beyond redemptionhow “hell” may be less about punishment and more about restorationthe idea that evil isn’t a permanent force—but something that can be healedwhether Satan is a literal being, a symbol, or something in betweenand how this question reveals our deeper fears about grace itselfThis episode challenges the idea that God’s love has limits—and invites a bigger question:Is there anything beyond God’s reach?If you’ve wrestled with hell, deconstruction, or the fear that some things—or some people—are too far gone, this conversation opens the door to a radically different possibility.Justin's Website: https://newedenministry.com/Support the show_______________________________________________________Grace doesn’t hold back.

Send Jeromy a Message or VoicemailPurity culture didn’t just teach rules about sex — it reshaped how we see ourselves.In this episode of Slutty Grace, we explore the lasting impact of evangelical purity culture — from sexual shame and fear-based teaching to the deeper loss of self-trust and identity.Jeromy sits down with Mattie Jo Cowsert for an honest, unfiltered conversation about what purity culture took: self-worth, agency, and the ability to trust your own body. Together, they unpack how teachings around “purity” shaped relationships, distorted desire, and left many feeling disconnected from themselves long after leaving the system.This isn’t just about sex.It’s about shame, identity, and the long process of healing.If you’ve ever felt like your worth was tied to your behavior…or struggled to trust yourself after deconstructing your faith…this conversation will likely hit close to home.Topics include:purity culture and evangelical sexual teachingsex, shame, and self-worthlosing and rebuilding self-trustdeconstruction and healing after toxic religionrelationships shaped by religious conditioningIf this episode resonates, you might also connect with:The Death of Pastor Dave — on shame, addiction, and identityYou Don’t Deserve Love—the lie that shaped me and the God who never agreed.Did I Fail as a Youth Pastor? — deconstructing inherited beliefsMattie Jo Cowsert's WebsiteBuy Mattie Jo’s Book, Sex, God, and Rich PeopleSupport the show_______________________________________________________Grace doesn’t hold back.

Send Jeromy a Message or VoicemailMaybe the problem wasn’t God… maybe it was my theology.This episode is part of a short journey we’re exploring on the podcast — moving from fear-based faith toward freedom. Enjoy the series!In this episode of Slutty Grace, Jeromy Johnson sits down with Del Burnett for a conversation about what happens when the beliefs you once defended with certainty begin to fall apart.For Jeromy, Del became one of the unexpected voices who helped unravel the theology he inherited from evangelical Christianity—a framework shaped by fear, control, and rigid doctrine. But what felt like losing faith turned out to be something very different.It was the beginning of discovering a bigger gospel, a deeper grace, and a kinder vision of God.Together they explore the tension many people face during faith deconstruction: what happens when the version of Christianity you were taught no longer holds up? Is questioning your theology the same thing as losing God?This conversation dives into religious deconstruction, grace-centered theology, and spiritual reconstruction, examining how fear-based beliefs about hell, judgment, and salvation have shaped modern Christianity—and how the message of Jesus might point us toward something far more hopeful.If you’ve ever wrestled with losing your faith, rebuilding your spirituality, or healing from toxic theology, this episode offers an honest reminder that sometimes faith doesn’t die when theology collapses.Sometimes it finally begins.Because sometimes the most important discovery on the spiritual journey is this:God was never the problem.Our theology might have been.Next week we continue the journey…Support the show_______________________________________________________Grace doesn’t hold back.

Send Jeromy a Message or VoicemailBefore Slutty Grace was a podcast, it was a journey. My journey.In this special episode, Jeromy Johnson shares the story behind his own faith shift as a guest on Leslie Nease’s podcast, Honoring the Journey. Many listeners have asked how Jeromy moved from evangelical ministry and certainty into the world of faith deconstruction, progressive Christianity, and radical grace—and this conversation explores that road honestly.Jeromy and Leslie talk about the questions that began to surface inside traditional theology, the struggle with fear-based beliefs about hell, salvation, and God’s judgment, and the slow discovery that grace might be far bigger than he was taught to believe.If you’re navigating faith deconstruction, spiritual doubt, or life after evangelical Christianity, this episode will feel like sitting down with a fellow traveler who understands the tension between holding onto God while letting go of certainty.Because sometimes the journey of faith isn’t about finding all the answers.It’s about discovering that grace was bigger than the questions all along.Support the show_______________________________________________________Grace doesn’t hold back.

Send Jeromy a Message or VoicemailWhat happens when religious trauma collides with mental health crisis—and your old faith doesn’t survive the fall?In this raw and deeply honest conversation, Kristi Williams shares her journey from high-control Christianity to psych ward hospitalization—and into real mental health recovery.Together, they unpack religious trauma, psych ward hospitalization, nervous system dysregulation, and the long road of mental health recovery after high-control Christianity.Raised inside Seventh-day Adventism, Kristi shares how years of fear-based theology, end-times anxiety, perfectionism, and spiritual pressure shaped her nervous system long before she realized it. After postpartum stress, insomnia, pandemic fear, and accumulated trauma pushed her into psychiatric crisis, she found herself in a psych ward—terrified, unraveling, and unexpectedly encountering radical, judgment-free love.What followed wasn’t a tidy testimony. Her faith collapsed. Theology stopped making sense. Attempts to “CPR” her old belief system failed. But something deeper began to emerge.We explore:Religious trauma and its impact on the nervous systemWhy changing theology alone doesn’t heal traumaBody-based trauma healing and daily regulation practicesCognitive belief shifts vs. subconscious integrationInsomnia, fight-or-flight, and nervous system burnoutDeconstruction after mental health crisisRebuilding faith after psychiatric hospitalizationKristi explains why trauma isn’t just a belief problem—it’s stored in the body. And why real recovery requires working with the subconscious, grief, and nervous system patterns shaped by high-control religion.If you’ve experienced church hurt, deconstruction, spiritual abuse, anxiety around hell or the end times, or mental health struggles connected to faith, this conversation offers language, tools, and hope.This is not theology from a distance.This is trauma work in the aftermath.This is grace that meets you at rock bottom.Support the show_______________________________________________________Grace doesn’t hold back.

Send Jeromy a Message or VoicemailWhat if God isn’t changing your circumstances… because He’s changing you?In this deeply personal episode of Slutty Grace, Jeromy sits down with Chris Jones, host of the podcast Spiritual Hot Sauce, for a raw conversation about suffering, pride, fear-based faith, and spiritual transformation.What begins as a discussion about fear-based religion and confusing church with God quickly becomes something much more intimate.Chris shares the story of a traumatic workplace tragedy that shattered his career trajectory, identity, and sense of control. What followed were years of striving, ego, loss, PTSD, divorce, financial collapse, and finally — surrender.At the center of his story is one haunting verse:“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” (2 Corinthians 12:9)A verse he didn’t want. A message he resisted. A truth that eventually transformed him.In this episode, we explore:Fear-based faith vs. faith rooted in loveThe difference between church culture and the heart of GodPride, identity, and losing everything you thought defined youSpiritual deconstruction and reconstructionThe “dark night of the soul” and post-traumatic growthSuffering as transformation, not punishmentWhat it means to deny yourself without self-abuseDiscipleship vs. religious performanceFinding God outside institutional religionChris unpacks a powerful metaphor of the “garden, cross, cave, and resurrection” — a spiritual journey of dying to ego and emerging transformed rather than restored.If you’ve ever:– Lost a career– Walked through divorce– Questioned church– Wrestled with pride– Experienced spiritual burnout– Or wondered why God feels silent in sufferingThis conversation is for you.Because grace doesn’t always give you your old life back.Sometimes it gives you a new one.Support the show_______________________________________________________Grace doesn’t hold back.

Send Jeromy a Message or VoicemailIf love is the measure of theology, what does that mean for LGBTQ+ people in the Church?In this powerful episode of Slutty Grace, Jeromy Johnson sits down with renowned theologian Dr. Thomas Jay Oord to confront one of the most urgent questions facing Christianity today: Are LGBTQ+ people fully embraced by God—and should they be fully included in the Church?Drawing from his groundbreaking work on uncontrolling love, Oord explains why God’s love is never coercive, never second-class, and never withdrawn. Together, they explore the so-called “clobber passages,” the phrase “love the sinner, hate the sin,” and the real-world consequences of non-affirming theology for queer Christians and their families Oord shares his personal journey from conservative evangelicalism to full LGBTQ+ affirmation, including the denominational trials that ultimately led to his removal for advocating inclusion. This isn’t abstract theology—it’s about people, flourishing, trauma, and whether our understanding of Scripture produces love or harm.They also dive into:Biblical interpretation and hermeneuticsThe “theology of yuck” and cultural biasRelational theology and why God cannot coerceHealing spiritual traumaHope beyond fear-based faithFor those who have deconstructed over this issue, for parents wrestling with what they’ve been taught, and for LGBTQ+ listeners wondering if God truly welcomes them—this conversation is an invitation to rediscover a God whose love does not control, does not shame, and does not give up.Because if God is love, then love must be the final word.Support the show_______________________________________________________Grace doesn’t hold back.

Send Jeromy a Message or VoicemailWhat happens when a former youth pastor sits down—not to defend his past—but to listen?In this episode of Slutty Grace, Jeromy Johnson reconnects with Autumn Lindsey, a former middle-school student from his youth ministry who has since deconstructed evangelical Christianity and now identifies as a None—someone no longer affiliated with organized religion. What unfolds is not an argument, a conversion attempt, or a tidy testimony, but an honest, compassionate conversation shaped by curiosity, accountability, and grace.Together, they explore what it was like to grow up in evangelical youth group culture, how inherited beliefs around fear, certainty, and belonging quietly formed—and fractured—faith, and what it means to step away without shame. Jeromy names the uncomfortable question many leaders avoid: Did I fail? Autumn responds with clarity, nuance, and generosity, offering insight into what helped, what harmed, and what healing looks like now.This episode centers faith deconstruction, not as rebellion or loss, but as a developmental and deeply human process. It examines power dynamics in youth ministry, the cost of certainty, and the quiet courage it takes to leave systems that no longer feel true. Most of all, it models what repair can look like when listening replaces defensiveness.If you’ve ever questioned your upbringing in church, wondered whether leaving evangelicalism means losing yourself—or asked hard questions about the impact of faith leadership—this conversation offers space to breathe.Support the show_______________________________________________________Grace doesn’t hold back.

Send Jeromy a Message or VoicemailWhat happens when you take Jesus seriously—but can’t take American Christianity at face value anymore?In this episode, Jeromy sits down with Stuart Delony—pastor-turned-satirist, writer, and host of Snarky Faith—for a conversation that’s as honest as it is disarming. Together, they explore faith deconstruction not as a phase to survive, but as an ongoing human process that invites humility, curiosity, and compassion.Stuart brings sharp insight and humor to the table as they unpack why certainty can be more dangerous than doubt, how American Christianity often traded empathy for control, and why satire might be one of the most faithful responses left. This conversation holds space for grief, laughter, and the tension of loving Jesus while questioning the systems built in his name.Recorded before recent events that continue to shape our political and religious landscape, this episode stands as a reminder that the deeper questions of faith—about power, truth, and grace—are always timely.If you’ve ever felt too human for church,If your questions were treated like threats,If you suspect Jesus wouldn’t be welcome in many modern congregations—This conversation is for you.Support the show_______________________________________________________Grace doesn’t hold back.

Send Jeromy a Message or VoicemailIn this episode of Slutty Grace, Jeromy Johnson is joined by Jason Clark and David Artman, two of the most influential and trusted voices in the contemporary Christian universalism and universal reconciliation conversation.Jason Clark is a pastor, theologian, and host of Rethinking God with Tacos, a podcast known for thoughtful, accessible conversations about faith, doubt, and the character of God. With a pastoral heart and a sharp theological mind, Jason has helped thousands rethink inherited beliefs about hell, judgment, and salvation—always centering the discussion on the goodness and coherence of God revealed in Jesus.David Artman is a theologian, author, and host of Grace Saves All, a podcast dedicated to exploring biblical universalism, early church theology, and the historical roots of universal reconciliation. David’s work bridges scholarship and storytelling, drawing from Scripture, church history, and moral reasoning to ask a simple but profound question: If God is love, what must that mean for everyone?Together, Jason and David explore why Christian universalism isn’t a fringe idea but a deeply biblical, historically grounded vision of salvation—one where grace finishes what it starts, justice heals instead of harms, and love never fails. They wrestle honestly with hell, free will, judgment, and restoration, offering a vision of faith that doesn’t rely on fear, threats, or exclusion to make sense.This conversation is for anyone navigating faith deconstruction, questioning eternal conscious torment, or longing for a theology that reflects a God who refuses to abandon creation. It’s a thoughtful, hopeful, and intellectually serious discussion—without losing warmth, humor, or humanity.If you’ve ever wondered whether God’s love really gets the final word, this episode invites you to imagine what faith looks like when the answer is yes.Jason Clark: https://jasonclarkis.com/David Artman: https://www.davidartman.net/Support the show_______________________________________________________Grace doesn’t hold back.

Send Jeromy a Message or VoicemailWhat happens when everything you thought you were, suddenly vanishes? In this episode of Slutty Grace, Jeromy sits down with his close friend Dave Everly for an honest, unfiltered, and, at times, humorous conversation about faith collapse, Christian deconstruction, and what happens when identity unravels alongside belief. Dave shares his journey through pastoral burnout, religious trauma, shame, addiction, a pastoral affair, and the quiet dismantling of the religious framework that once held his life together. What emerges isn’t a tidy redemption story, but a deeply human one—about grief, honesty, and discovering belovedness beyond performance, productivity, or church roles.Along the way, Dave speaks candidly about loss, including the suicide of his father, and how grief reshaped his understanding of God, grace, faith, and his own worth. Listener discretion is encouraged, and care is invited as you listen.This conversation is for anyone navigating deconstruction, church hurt, or life after ministry—for those who feel exhausted by religion, lost inside people-pleasing roles, or unsure whether unconditional love and grace still apply after everything falls apart. It’s a story about healing from religious burnout, becoming human again, and letting old identities die so something truer, freer, and more alive can live.The Respite at Halibut CoveSupport the show_______________________________________________________Grace doesn’t hold back.

Send Jeromy a Message or VoicemailTwenty-five episodes. Four months. Hundreds of stories of grace unfolding.In this Season One Wrap-Up of Slutty Grace, host Jeromy Johnson pauses to reflect on the journey so far: from launching a podcast rooted in radical grace and Christian deconstruction, to the unexpected conversations, guest stories, and listener responses that shaped the first season.Jeromy shares how Slutty Grace came to life, why universal grace became the heart of the show, and how a provocative title became a permission slip for honest conversations about faith, doubt, healing, and belonging. This episode revisits highlights from Season One, reflects on what happens when fear-based theology loosens its grip, and celebrates the community forming around a God who is not distant, disappointed, or against us.You’ll hear reflections on the creative process behind the podcast, meaningful listener messages from around the world, and an honest look at why grace matters most where it’s been missing. Jeromy also offers a glimpse into what’s ahead—future guests, deeper conversations, and the beginnings of a new series exploring those the church has often pushed aside.This wrap up ends with a audio montage featuring every guest from Season One! If you’re navigating faith shifts, religious trauma, progressive Christianity, or simply longing for a spirituality rooted in love instead of fear, this wrap-up invites you to pause, breathe, and remember: you’re not alone, and grace is still finding you.Season One ends here—but grace is far from over.We will return Mid January 2026.

Send Jeromy a Message or VoicemailWhat if the Bible is far more playful, hopeful, and grace-soaked than we were ever told?In this episode of Slutty Grace, Jeromy Johnson sits down with R.A. Sweeney (Reed), a Hebrew scholar and author whose deep immersion in the original biblical languages reveals a God overflowing with love, humor, and relentless grace. Reed shares how learning Hebrew and Greek cracked open the text, uncovering layers of meaning, wordplay, and divine character that often get flattened in English translation.Together, they explore free will, the Kingdom of God, judgment, and the afterlife, gently but boldly challenging fear-based interpretations of Scripture. Reed reframes hell, exile, and judgment not as God walking away, but as part of a larger story of restoration, healing, and universal reconciliation. At the heart of it all is a God who refuses to abandon creation and who invites us to experience the life of the Kingdom here and now, not just someday after death.This conversation is for anyone navigating deconstruction, wrestling with hell theology, or longing for a faith rooted in grace over fear, relationship over rules, and hope over condemnation. It’s biblical scholarship without the threats. Theology with a sense of humor. And a vision of God that’s far bigger—and far kinder—than the one many of us inherited.Support the show_______________________________________________________Grace doesn’t hold back.

Send Jeromy a Message or VoicemailMost of us picture God as balanced—a careful blend of wrath and mercy, justice and love. That’s the God we think we can live with: predictable, measured, safe. But the God Jesus revealed wasn’t safe or predictable at all. He was excessive, extreme, even unreasonable in the ways he poured out love and forgiveness. A father who ran wild to embrace a son who’d squandered everything. A shepherd who abandoned ninety-nine sheep just to chase one. A king who canceled debts so massive they could never be repaid. None of it was balanced. None of it was fair. And yet all of it was love.In this episode of Slutty Grace, Jeromy Johnson explores the radical, boundary-breaking nature of God’s reckless love. What happens when we realize God is not the careful moderator of our moral categories, but a parent who lavishes grace beyond measure? And if that’s true—what does it mean not just for us, but for the people we’d rather exclude?Support the show_______________________________________________________Grace doesn’t hold back.

Send Jeromy a Message or VoicemailWhat if the most damaging lie we inherited from religion was that we don’t deserve love?In this episode, Jeromy and Religious Trauma Coach Kristi Williams unravel how shame-based theology shaped us, and how grace tells a different story.First, Jeromy unravels the theology that taught us we were born depraved, unworthy, and in need of fixing before love could find us. Through the lens of grace, Jesus’ encounters with the “undeserving,” and the wounds left by shame-based religion, this episode reframes our worth from the ground up. This episode unpacks how shame-based Christianity, original sin theology, and fear-based definitions of grace shape our identity, attachment, and mental health.Then, Religious Trauma Coach Kristi Williams joins Jeromy for a raw, off-the-cuff reaction to the episode, sharing her own experience growing up Seventh-day Adventist, how doctrines of sin and judgment shaped her attachment style, and why trauma, neurobiology, and faith deconstruction often collide in powerful ways. She explores how beliefs like “you don’t deserve love” fracture the psyche, activate the amygdala, and disconnect us from intuition, compassion, and connection.If you’ve ever wrestled with religious trauma, Christian deconstruction, or the question of whether you are worthy of love—this episode offers a new, healing story.Support the show_______________________________________________________Grace doesn’t hold back.

Send Jeromy a Message or VoicemailWhat if the scariest doctrine in Christianity was never true in the first place?In this episode of Slutty Grace, Jeromy Johnson sits down with Benji McNair Scott—theologian, author of Hope in Hell, and one of the most compelling voices challenging the traditional doctrine of eternal conscious torment. Benji’s journey takes us from his evangelical roots through academic study, historical theology, early-church perspectives, and the breathtaking possibility that God’s love truly has no limits.Together, Jeromy and Benji explore the real origins of hell theology, how fear became a tool of control, the psychological and spiritual damage caused by eternal-torment preaching, and why the earliest Christians held a shockingly different view. They talk universal reconciliation, restorative justice, the character of God, and what it means to believe in a love that doesn’t quit—even beyond death.Whether you’re a deconstructing Christian, a curious skeptic, a burned-out evangelical, or someone quietly wondering, “Could God actually save everyone?”—this conversation offers depth, honesty, and a fierce kind of hope…all in a British accent. This is the gospel before fear got added. This is hope without a countdown clock. This is grace wide enough to hold the whole human story.Benji's Book: A Hope In HellSupport the show_______________________________________________________Grace doesn’t hold back.

Send Jeromy a Message or VoicemailLeslie Nease, a former evangelical and Survivor China contestant, opens up about the moment her fear-based faith cracked and the grace that finally brought her home.From Survivor to Heretic is Leslie’s raw, courageous story of what happens when a lifetime of evangelical certainty begins to crack. Her journey didn’t unravel because of scandal—or fame—but because she finally slowed down enough to listen. To Buddhists. To Mormons. To gay flight attendants. To the very people her fear-based faith had warned her about.Their kindness undid something in her.Their humanity sparked questions she had never been allowed to ask.And the God she discovered as a result didn’t match the God she had been taught to fear.In this episode, Jeromy Johnson and Leslie walk through the tender terrain of deconstruction, religious trauma, evangelicalism, Christian nationalism, and the long, slow unlearning that leads toward spiritual healing and progressive Christianity. This isn’t a story about losing faith, it’s the story of coming home to a God who was never threatened by doubt, curiosity, or a widening circle of love.If you’re navigating your own journey out of fear and into freedom, this conversation offers companionship, compassion, and a reminder that you’re not alone.

Send Jeromy a Message or VoicemailSometimes the ones who preached grace the loudest are the ones who have to learn it the hardest.In this episode of Slutty Grace, Jeromy Johnson talks with Steve White, a former pastor and seminary-trained worship leader who lost everything, including his ministry, but found grace waiting in the wreckage. Steve’s story is one of failure, exile, and redemption—proof that God’s love doesn’t stop where religion does.Together they talk about what happens when you’re too human for church, when your brokenness gets you cast out, and how grace keeps showing up in the very places you were told it wouldn’t. It’s the story of the long road toward self-forgiveness, and the discovery that grace doesn’t just forgive, it rebuilds.If you’ve ever wondered whether deconstruction, forgiveness, and unconditional love can coexist, this conversation might just restore your faith in grace itself.Support the show_______________________________________________________Grace doesn’t hold back.

Send Jeromy a Message or VoicemailWe love our sides. Teams, tribes, doctrines, denominations—lines in the sand that give us a sense of belonging, but also someone to fight against. From childhood football games of shirts versus skins to the way churches police communion tables, we learn to divide the world into “us” and “them.”But here’s the scandal of grace: God doesn’t play for our team. In Jesus, God kept crossing the lines we defend—eating with sinners, healing enemies, and telling stories where outsiders were the heroes. Grace, by her very nature, is disloyal to our factions. She crawls under fences, sneaks into enemy camps, and embraces those we’d rather exclude.In this episode of Slutty Grace, Jeromy wrestles with his own history of drawing hard lines and the freedom that comes when those lines dissolve. What if God has already taken everyone’s side? What if grace insists on showing up at both tables—ours, and theirs?If you’ve ever been wearied by division, or longed for a love bigger than sides, this conversation is for you.Support the show_______________________________________________________Grace doesn’t hold back.

Send Jeromy a Message or VoicemailSometimes losing your religion is how you finally find your soul.In this episode of Slutty Grace, Jeromy Johnson sits down with Michael Camp—former missionary, Bible teacher, and author of Faith Funk: How to Break Free from Toxic Religion and Reboot a Healthy Spirituality.Michael’s story is a roadmap for anyone leaving fear-based faith behind. Together they talk about deconstruction as discovery—what it means to question the beliefs that broke you, to heal from the shame that shaped you, and to rebuild a spirituality grounded in love instead of control.This episode explores how losing your religion doesn’t mean losing your soul—it’s how you find it again. From rethinking hell and unlearning fear to rediscovering compassion, this conversation invites you to trade certainty for curiosity, and fear for freedom.If you’ve ever wondered whether your doubts could be holy, or if God could survive your questions, this one’s for you.Support the show_______________________________________________________Grace doesn’t hold back.

Send Jeromy a Message or VoicemailFrom 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.Support the show_______________________________________________________Grace doesn’t hold back.

Send Jeromy a Message or VoicemailWhat if hell isn’t God’s punishment—but our protest?In this episode of Slutty Grace, Jeromy Johnson asks whether hell might simply be the porch outside the party—the place where the “good” and the religious stand, too offended by mercy to step into grace.Through the story of the prodigal son’s older brother, and other moments when Jesus flipped religious expectations, Jeromy explores what happens when divine love feels too inclusive.It’s a raw reflection on Christian deconstruction, faith reconstruction, and the scandal of universalism—the belief that God’s love is for everyone, even those we’d rather keep out.After the monologue, Jeromy is joined by  Jonathan Brink for an honest, heart-level conversation about heaven, hell, forgiveness, resentment, and theology—and what it means to follow a God whose grace doesn’t play favorites.If you’ve ever wrestled with faith, questioned religion’s gatekeeping, or wondered whether grace could really be that wild, this episode invites you to open the door and walk inside.Support the show_______________________________________________________Grace doesn’t hold back.

Send Jeromy a Message or VoicemailHow do you raise children with love when you were raised with fear? In this episode of Slutty Grace, Jeromy Johnson talks with Nadyia Horning—a mother, advocate, and survivor of fundamentalist religion—about what it means to break the generational chains of fear and raise children with love instead of control.Nadyia shares her story of growing up in an Independent Fundamental Baptist home marked by performance, punishment, and perfectionism—and how she’s rewriting that story through gentleness, connection, and grace. Together they explore parenting after religious trauma, reparenting the child within, and learning to trust the voice inside that says love doesn’t have to hurt to be holy.If you’ve ever struggled to parent differently than you were raised, or to believe that grace belongs in the messiest parts of family life, this conversation will remind you that healing is possible—and that the story can begin again with you.Support the show_______________________________________________________Grace doesn’t hold back.

Send Jeromy a Message or VoicemailCan a good God condemn forever?Can love and justice truly coexist?And if the Gospel is good news, shouldn’t it be good for everyone?In Part 2 of Evangelicalism vs. Universalism, Jeromy and David Artman dive head-on into the debate: hell, judgment, free will, and the moral logic of universal salvation.It’s a passionate, respectful clash between evangelical theology and the expanding hope of Christian universalism—a faith that insists every knee will bow, every heart will heal, and love will, in the end, win.Because if grace is real, it can’t stop halfway.It has to save us all.Support the show_______________________________________________________Grace doesn’t hold back.

Send Jeromy a Message or VoicemailWhat if everything we were taught about hell was wrong—or at least incomplete?What if judgment wasn’t about eternal torment, but transformation?And what if grace is bigger, wider, and wilder than any of our doctrines can hold?In this first part of a two-episode conversation, Jeromy sits down with David Artman, author of Grace Saves All and host of the Grace Saves All Podcast, to explore how he came to believe in Christian universalism—the hope that God’s love will, one day, restore everything and everyone.Together they trace his story from evangelical roots to a faith shaped by progressive Christianity, the early church fathers, and a vision of grace that refuses to end at the gates of hell.This is the invitation to rethink what salvation really means—and what the Gospel might sound like if love, not fear, had the final word.David's Podcast, Grace Saves All.Support the show_______________________________________________________Grace doesn’t hold back.

Send Jeromy a Message or VoicemailIf God’s love truly includes everyone, what does that say about how we live, forgive, and belong? In this conversation, Jeromy Johnson and Pastor Chris Jorgensen step into the deep waters of progressive Christianity and Christian universalism—the belief that divine love leaves no one out.Together they wrestle with fear, faith, justice, and the mystery of divine abundance—why grace feels unfair to those who think they’ve earned it, and liberating to those who know they can’t. Because maybe God’s justice looks nothing like ours, and that’s good news for everyone.This isn’t a debate; it’s an exploration of the radical inclusivity of God, where mercy and mystery meet. Because when love stops keeping score, everyone gets some.So wherever you are on the path—questioning, curious, or clinging to hope—remember: the table is still set.

Send Jeromy a Message or VoicemailWhat if you lived your whole life in one room, with only one window to the world? That limited view would become your entire reality—until one day, the door opened, and you discovered more rooms, more windows, more perspectives than you ever imagined. In this episode of Slutty Grace, Jeromy Johnson shares a story of discovery—an analogy for the Christian journey, where each tradition, each perspective, and each expression of faith reveals more of God’s truth. Together, they form a fuller picture of God’s reality. And one day, when the windows fall away completely, we will see God’s love in its fullness. Until then, grace invites us to keep exploring._______________________________________________________Grace doesn’t hold back. She breaks the rules, softens hearts, and loves without apology.

Send Jeromy a Message or VoicemailIn this episode of Slutty Grace, Jeromy Johnson sits down with Jacob Kendall—a scholar with backgrounds in theology, social work, public health, and gerontology, as well as an entrepreneur and survivor of two open-heart surgeries. Jacob’s journey is deeply interdisciplinary, blending science, faith, and lived experience to confront some of life’s biggest questions: What does it mean to age with dignity? How do we dismantle ageism in a culture that worships youth? And what does grace have to say about mortality, suffering, and the limits of the human body? This conversation touches on theology, health, caregiving, and the power of community, offering a vision of grace that is practical, embodied, and radically inclusive._______________________________________________________Grace doesn’t hold back.

Send Jeromy a Message or VoicemailHave you ever felt like faith and religion was just… exhausting?Like you were carrying the weight of everyone else’s soul? Managing their beliefs, and your own? Living under endless rules and shoulds that always seemed to shift?In this episode, Jeromy Johnson shares how evangelicalism left him spiritually tired—like sleep apnea for the soul. And how discovering the scandalous generosity of God’s grace became like oxygen: steady, freeing, life-giving.This is a story about trading exhaustion for freedom. About learning that grace doesn’t demand we manage souls, police beliefs, or obey every shifting cultural law. Grace simply invites us to breathe, to rest, to live.If you’ve ever been worn out by religion, suffocated by expectations, or burdened by the pressure to believe “just right”—this conversation is for you.Because religion exhausts.But grace?

Send Jeromy a Message or VoicemailToday, Jeromy welcomes a guest who feels less like an interview and more like a reunion. Jonathan Brink and Jeromy have known each other for decades—they’ve asked the dangerous questions together, laughed hard, wept at communion tables, and wrestled with a God who never seems to fit inside our boxes.Jonathan’s journey has taken him through deep wounds, psychedelic awakenings, theological deconstruction, and a relentless pursuit of what grace actually means when it collides with real life. He’s wrestled with belonging, with shame, with love, and with discovering along the way that maybe grace was never out of reach.In this conversation, we talk about how unbalanced masculinity has shaped the church, how feminine energy is resurfacing, and even how AI might push us into a new way of imagining community and trust.So whether you’re a skeptic, a seeker, or someone still healing from old narratives, this one invites you into the dangerous, boundary-breaking possibility that God’s grace is for all._______________________________________________________Grace doesn’t hold back.

Send Jeromy a Message or VoicemailBelief is never neat. It is both anchor and sail, holding us steady, yet carrying us into uncharted waters. In this episode of Slutty Grace, Jeromy lays down his flag, not with arrogance, but with humility, on one central conviction: God’s love and grace are for all.From wrestling with our human limitations, to reimagining forgiveness as God’s gift (not our trigger), to rejecting the picture of an eternal hell of torment—Jeromy invites listeners into a hope-filled vision of a God whose mercy has no boundaries, not even death.With echoes of Luther’s “Here I stand” and Bunyan’s unwavering conscience, this episode isn’t about final answers, but about choosing where to stand—even if it means erring on the side of grace.If you’ve ever wondered whether love truly wins in the end… this one’s for you._______________________________________________________Grace doesn’t hold back.

Send Jeromy a Message or VoicemailWe’ve been told the story starts with perfection—paradise lost in a single catastrophic moment. But what if that’s not how it happened?In this episode of Slutty Grace, Jeromy revisits the opening pages of Genesis and the story of “The Fall.” Instead of a flawless world shattered by sin, we’ll explore a different picture: creation as good, but never perfect. Humanity’s choices—ours and theirs—have shaped the world not through one great fall, but through generations of ripples.And in the middle of it all, one thing never changed: God’s love has been quietly, relentlessly present from the beginning. Not against us, not waiting for us to earn it back—but always here, calling us home.If you’ve ever wondered whether you were supposed to be perfect, or why life feels like a long decline from something better, this conversation might reframe everything._______________________________________________________Grace doesn’t hold back.

Send Jeromy a Message or VoicemailThis week’s episode is different. No studio, no script—just Jeromy, sitting in his car between appointments, hitting record, and speaking honestly about one of the heaviest doctrines he grew up with: hell. Not the cartoon fire and pitchforks, but the teaching that most of humanity will be tortured forever.For years he felt like he wasn’t even allowed to question it. But the truth is, many of us wonder: Does this make sense? Is this love? Is this even God? Naming the absurdity might be the first act of grace.In this episode of Slutty Grace, Jeromy wrestles out loud with the traditional view of hell, why it has never sat right, and how maybe—just maybe—the courage to ask these questions is itself holy.If you’ve ever carried these doubts in silence, this one’s for you._______________________________________________________Grace doesn’t hold back.

Send Jeromy a Message or VoicemailIn 1974, Japanese soldier Hiroo Onoda finally stepped out of the Philippine jungle—29 years after World War II had ended. For nearly three decades he refused to believe the leaflets that told him the fighting was finished. He lived as if peace was a lie.Many of us do the same with God. Jesus declared, “It is finished.” The war is over. But we still live like fugitives, clutching our weapons, suspicious that God is hunting us down.This episode of Slutty Grace explores the power of belief: how our refusal—or our willingness—to trust the good news shapes the way we live. What happens when we finally accept that God is not our enemy, that peace has been declared, and that love has already won?_______________________________________________________Grace doesn’t hold back.

Send Jeromy a Message or VoicemailThe title might make you squirm—and that’s the point. Grace isn’t polite religion. It’s not tidy, respectable, or safe. Grace doesn’t wait for the worthy. She doesn’t check your credentials. She pours herself out—recklessly, promiscuously, without apology—on saints and screw-ups alike.In this opening episode, Jeromy wrestles with the elephant in the room: the name. Why take a word dripping with shame and pair it with a word dripping with God’s love? Why risk offense? Because divine grace has always been scandalous. It trespasses boundaries, offends categories, and provokes the keepers of religious rules.This is the heart of the podcast: short conversations and honest reflections on the untamed, unsettling, radically inclusive love of God. Together, we’ll sit with the mystery.Slutty Grace. Let it make you uncomfortable. Let it make you wonder._______________________________________________________Grace doesn’t hold back.
