In this week’s Jeremiah study, we learned how the Israelites thought they were safe from judgement because of the temple in their midst. That got listeners asking about group vs individual responsibility, warnings for our own arrogant times and more. Tim Timmons, Kevin Dixon, Suzie Lind and Mike Erre respond.

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.
—Edwin Rivera, guest commentator

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."
