(Bonus) Shirts and Skins: When Grace Refuses to Take Sides SEASON 1

Send Jeromy a Message or Voicemail We love our sides. Teams, tribes, doctrines, denominationslines 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 heres the scandal of grace: God doesnt play for our team. In Jesus, God kept crossing the lines we defendeating 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 wed 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 everyones side? What if grace insists on showing up at both tablesours, and theirs? If youve ever been wearied by division, or longed for a love bigger than sides, this conversation is for you.

Untamed GraceThe Evolution of Slutty Grace
Send Jeromy a Message or Voicemail After a lot of reflection, thought, and honestly a bit of mourning Slutty Grace is entering a new chapter. In this special standalone episode, Jeromy shares the deeply personal story behind the podcasts evolution into Untamed Grace why the name is changing, why the heart of the show isnt, and how the deeper voice of the podcast slowly emerged over the past year. What began as a conversation about Gods radical grace expanded into something broader and deeper: freedom from fear-based faith, healing from shame, learning to trust our inner voice again, and creating space for honest questions, awakening, reconstruction, and spiritual freedom. This episode is less about rebranding and more about evolution. Its about grace that refuses to stay controlled. Grace that keeps escaping the fences. Grace that still looks a lot like Jesus. Because honestly once grace is tamed, it ceases to be grace. And while the front door may have been repainted the music inside is still loud.

Why I Originally Called This Podcast Slutty Grace
Episode 1
Why I Originally Called This Podcast Slutty Grace
Send Jeromy a Message or Voicemail The title might make you squirmand thats the point. Grace isnt polite religion. Its not tidy, respectable, or safe. Grace doesnt wait for the worthy. She doesnt check your credentials. She pours herself outrecklessly, promiscuously, without apologyon 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 Gods 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, well sit with the mystery. Slutty Grace. Let it make you uncomfortable. Let it make you wonder. _______________________________________________________ Grace doesnt hold back. She breaks the rules, softens hearts, and loves without apology.

The War Is Over: Why God is not your enemy.
Send Jeromy a Message or Voicemail In 1974, Japanese soldier Hiroo Onoda finally stepped out of the Philippine jungle29 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 refusalor our willingnessto 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 doesnt hold back.

Send Jeromy a Message or Voicemail This weeks episode is different. No studio, no scriptjust 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 wasnt 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 maybejust maybethe courage to ask these questions is itself holy. If youve ever carried these doubts in silence, this ones for you. _______________________________________________________ Grace doesnt hold back.

Episode 7
Cheating Our Way Into Heaven, with Jonathan Brink
Send Jeromy a Message or Voicemail Today, Jeromy welcomes a guest who feels less like an interview and more like a reunion. Jonathan Brink and Jeromy have known each other for decadestheyve asked the dangerous questions together, laughed hard, wept at communion tables, and wrestled with a God who never seems to fit inside our boxes. Jonathans 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. Hes 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 youre a skeptic, a seeker, or someone still healing from old narratives, this one invites you into the dangerous, boundary-breaking possibility that Gods grace is for all. _______________________________________________________ Grace doesnt hold back.

Life Beyond Religious Exhaustion: Breathing in the freedom of grace.
Send Jeromy a Message or Voicemail Have you ever felt like faith and religion was just exhausting? Like you were carrying the weight of everyone elses soul? Managing their beliefs, and your own?

If youve ever been worn out by religion, suffocated by expectations, or burdened by the pressure to believe just rightthis conversation is for you. Because religion exhausts. But grace?

Everyone Gets SomeThe grace everyone deserves and no one earns (Chris Jorgensen)
Send Jeromy a Message or Voicemail If Gods 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 universalismthe belief that divine love leaves no one out. Together they wrestle with fear, faith, justice, and the mystery of divine abundancewhy grace feels unfair to those who think theyve earned it, and liberating to those who know they cant. Because maybe Gods justice looks nothing like ours, and thats good news for everyone. This isnt a debate; its 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 pathquestioning, curious, or clinging to hoperemember: the table is still set.

Send Jeromy a Message or Voicemail What if everything we were taught about hell was wrongor at least incomplete? What if judgment wasnt 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 universalismthe hope that Gods 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 meansand what the Gospel might sound like if love, not fear, had the final word. David's Podcast, Grace Saves All.

Send Jeromy a Message or Voicemail What if hell isnt Gods punishmentbut our protest?

Its a raw reflection on Christian deconstruction, faith reconstruction, and the scandal of universalism the belief that Gods love is for everyone, even those wed rather keep out.

Episode 20
From Survivor to HereticLeslie Nease's journey from fear to freedom.
Send Jeromy a Message or Voicemail Leslie 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 Leslies raw, courageous story of what happens when a lifetime of evangelical certainty begins to crack. Her journey didnt unravel because of scandalor famebut 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 didnt 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 isnt a story about losing faith, its the story of coming home to a God who was never threatened by doubt, curiosity, or a widening circle of love. If youre navigating your own journey out of fear and into freedom, this conversation offers companionship, compassion, and a reminder that youre not alone.

You Dont Deserve LoveThe lie that shaped me, and the God who never agreed.
Episode 22
You Dont Deserve LoveThe lie that shaped me, and the God who never agreed.
Send Jeromy a Message or Voicemail What if the most damaging lie we inherited from religion was that we dont 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 dont deserve love fracture the psyche, activate the amygdala, and disconnect us from intuition, compassion, and connection. If youve ever wrestled with religious trauma, Christian deconstruction, or the question of whether you are worthy of lovethis episode offers a new, healing story.

God is Not BalancedRadical love, unapologetic grace, and the God Jesus revealed.
Episode 23
God is Not BalancedRadical love, unapologetic grace, and the God Jesus revealed.
Send Jeromy a Message or Voicemail Most of us picture God as balanceda careful blend of wrath and mercy, justice and love. Thats the God we think we can live with: predictable, measured, safe. But the God Jesus revealed wasnt 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 whod 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 Gods 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 thats truewhat does it mean not just for us, but for the people wed rather exclude? Support the show _______________________________________________________ Grace doesnt hold back.

God Refuses to Give UpHope and restoration in the Hebrew narrative (R.A. Sweeney)
Send Jeromy a Message or Voicemail What 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. Its biblical scholarship without the threats. Theology with a sense of humor. And a vision of God thats far biggerand far kinderthan the one many of us inherited.

God Embraces LGBTQ+ PeopleUncontrolling love and queer inclusion (Thomas Jay Oord)
Send Jeromy a Message or Voicemail If 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 Godand should they be fully included in the Church? Drawing from his groundbreaking work on uncontrolling love, Oord explains why Gods 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 isnt abstract theologyits about people, flourishing, trauma, and whether our understanding of Scripture produces love or harm. They also dive into: Biblical interpretation and hermeneutics The theology of yuck and cultural bias Relational theology and why God cannot coerce Healing spiritual trauma Hope beyond fear-based faith For those who have deconstructed over this issue, for parents wrestling with what theyve been taught, and for LGBTQ+ listeners wondering if God truly welcomes themthis 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 doesnt hold back.

A Workplace Death Changed My LifeFinding God in the aftermath of tragedy (Chris Jones)
Send Jeromy a Message or Voicemail What if God isnt changing your circumstances because Hes 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 didnt want. A message he resisted. A truth that eventually transformed him. In this episode, we explore: Fear-based faith vs. faith rooted in love The difference between church culture and the heart of God Pride, identity, and losing everything you thought defined you Spiritual deconstruction and reconstruction The dark night of the soul and post-traumatic growth Suffering as transformation, not punishment What it means to deny yourself without self-abuse Discipleship vs. religious performance Finding God outside institutional religion Chris 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 youve ever: Lost a career Walked through divorce Questioned church Wrestled with pride Experienced spiritual burnout Or wondered why God feels silent in suffering This conversation is for you. Because grace doesnt always give you your old life back. Sometimes it gives you a new one. Support the show _______________________________________________________ Grace doesnt hold back.

Can Satan Be Saved?Universalism, Hell, and Gods Ultimate Victory (Justin Coutts)
Send Jeromy a Message or Voicemail If God really restores all things does that include Satan? In this episode, Jeromy sits down with Justin Coutts to explore one of the most uncomfortableand revealingquestions 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 Gods love. Together, they unpack: why early Christian thought didnt always see demons as beyond redemption how hell may be less about punishment and more about restoration the idea that evil isnt a permanent forcebut something that can be healed whether Satan is a literal being, a symbol, or something in between and how this question reveals our deeper fears about grace itself This episode challenges the idea that Gods love has limitsand invites a bigger question: Is there anything beyond Gods reach? If youve wrestled with hell, deconstruction, or the fear that some thingsor some peopleare too far gone, this conversation opens the door to a radically different possibility.

Beyond the Torch is a podcast hosted by Survivor: China castaways Leslie Nease and Todd Herzog—two lives forever changed by the greatest reality show of all time. As we approach the 50th season of Survivor, this podcast takes you behind the scenes, diving into the personal journeys of your favorite former castaways and how the game shaped (and sometimes unraveled) the trajectory of their lives. We’ll explore if their time on the show revealed any truths about the universe—or simply led to more questions. Whether you're a super-fan, a former player, or just curious what really happens after Tribal, join us as we explore the legacy advantage Survivor leaves behind.
