Host Andrew Camp welcomes writer and fellow podcaster Jeremy Jernigan to The Biggest Table to discuss faith, hospitality, and wine while comparing two pinot noirs: California's Meiomi (engineered for consistent, fruit-forward sweetness) and Oregon's Lemelson single-vineyard pinot (limited production, terroir-driven complexity). Their tasting becomes an analogy for faith, contrasting mass-produced certainty with nuanced growth. Jernigan shares the story behind his book The Edge of the Inside: after two decades in ministry and a dream lead-pastor role, conflicts during 2020 over engaging COVID and George Floyd's murder led to an elder-board ultimatum, his resignation, loss of community, and years in “liminal space.” The book traces moving from the “center” to the “edge,” rethinking inherited theology, and imagining how to move forward, emphasizing curiosity, composting past faith, and finding new communities.Jeremy Jernigan is a writer, speaker, and recovering megachurch pastor. After two decades in full-time ministry, including serving as a Lead Pastor, he now focuses on helping people rebuild their faith after it breaks. He's the author of The Edge of the Inside, and he hosts the weekly Rebuilding Faith series and the biweekly Cabernet and Pray podcast.

In this episode, I talk with Jeremy Jernigan about his deeply personal and intellectual journey behind The Edge of the Inside, unpacking how Jeremy's lifelong love of writing evolved into a healing-driven project that blends memoir and theology. We discuss how time and emotional distance were necessary to move from bitterness to clarity, allowing Jeremy to structure the book into reflection, belief, and application. We also discuss shared experiences as pastor's kids, the disorienting process of deconstruction, and the realization that faith is far broader than what we were taught. Listen to hear about: Writing as healing, not just storytelling Jeremy describes the book as a form of therapy, something he had to live through and process before he could write honestly and help others. The “edge of the inside” concept Inspired by Richard Rohr, this idea captures the experience of still belonging to a system while holding a perspective that challenges it. Deconstruction and expanding belief systems We both reflect on realizing that what we were taught wasn't the full picture, leading to curiosity, questioning, and broader exploration. How language shapes belief (and confusion) The same words, faith, truth, provision, can mean completely different things depending on who's using them, especially in religious and political contexts. The “life quake” moment Jeremy shares the pivotal realization that doing the “right” things doesn't guarantee success—and sometimes leads to losing everything, forcing a complete redefinition of faith and identity.

Welcome back T&J fam! As promised, we have a special guest on this week's episode! Former mega church pastor, Jeremy Jernigan, joins the pod for an open and honest discussion on the challenges of pastoring and church leadership culture. Jeremy transparently discusses his own experiences and resignation in 2020 and how this has sent him down a rabbit hole of personal growth, deconstruction, and reconstruction. We discuss what this has done for his faith and what he sees ministry looking like moving forward. Jeremy also has a tattoo sleeve, so we had to learn about that as well. Please connect with Jeremy through his website and social media (see below) and enjoy the show!https://www.jeremyjernigan.com/

In this week's episode Trevor, Dylan, and first-time guest Jeremy Jernigan sit down and take a deeper dive into week three of our Difference Makers series. Each week we're unpacking one of Pantano's core values and explaining how that value defines us as Difference Makers. Week three's value is: Kingdom First. Being kingdom first drives us beyond our own church community. We strive to join God wherever He is at work. Church is who we are wherever we are and Jeremy really unpacked that for Pantano this past weekend! On Coffee Break this week, Dylan talks about the coffee scene in San Diego, and Jeremy talks about the similarities between tasting coffee and tasting wine. Like every week, we also take a peek at what's coming up for the people of Pantano! For all that and more, give this episode a listen! FOLLOW ALONG: Trevor - @trevordevage everywhere.

If we truly want people to know Jesus, we must call them to something greater than ourselves. We must call them to a Kingdom and a royal priesthood. This will require us to reach those outside our culture, in new ways. Today, special guest speaker Jeremy Jernigan continues our series, Difference Makers.
What could happen if you had a pastor and a skeptic read through the bible together? Our show this week with Jeremy Jernigan takes us inside their conversation for some interesting insights and revelations. When was the last time you had a conversation with someone who has a totally different belief system than your own? Are you open to listening to their perspective without the pressure of agreeing? Could the dialogue itself be a gift for your own personal journey and growth? www.jeremyjernigan.com
People often ask, “I love wine and I love Jesus, but can they go together?” There is a remarkable journey from the grape vine to the crushing of grapes to the mixing of various ingredients in the maturation process of wine. It is art, it is beautiful, it is transformational – the process from vine to wine. There was a time when Jesus transformed water into wine during His first miracle at a party. Wine has played a significant role in many religious and cultural traditions throughout history, including Christianity. Today wine is a social connection from wine tastings to sommeliers. Jeremy Jernigan takes us on a journey into vineyards, wine, new conversations and Jesus. Jesus is still all about transformation . . . with us.

What happens when you end up where you never planned to be? What do you do? In this message, guest speaker Jeremy Jernigan walks us through the events recorded in Ruth chapter 2 and shows us the power of doing the next right thing.
Jeremy Jernigan digs into Why Christianity is Unfair. What we find is that Jesus' kingdom doesn't work out like we'd expect.
Did you know that God doesn't need our faithfulness in order for Him to be faithful to us? Even when we are unfaithful to God, God remains faithful. We get to read about God's faithfulness with Zachariah's story in the Bible. Zachariah laughed in the face of God's messenger when he heard that he would have a kid in his old age. But God didn't move on. He still fulfilled His promise.

What happens when you're using something right to justify something wrong? What happens when you hide behind what is good to excuse what is evil? In this message, guest speaker Jeremy Jernigan guides us into the book of Amos and helps us feel the hard message the prophet brought to God's people. The people were proud of their worship while they simultaneously practiced injustice. Jeremy echoes the word of Amos, calling us to hold on to righteous living while also pursuing justice.

Keep listening to hear the interactive conversation featuring two churches that are taking different approaches to welcoming and including the LGBTQ+ community in the life of the church. We’ll learn together through conversation with Jeremy Duncan of Commons Church in Calgary, AB, and Jeremy Jernigan of Abundant Life Church in Portland, OR. These two churches are both seeking to keep Jesus central to everything they do, yet land in two different places in how they love and disciple LGBTQ+ persons. Do you wrestle with how to navigate this important and delicate reality in this cultural moment? With the guidance of the Scriptures, the Holy Spirit, communal discernment, and the centrality of Jesus, we can find our way forward together.
Message from Jeremy Jernigan on January 5, 2020
Jeremy Jernigan is the Lead Pastor of Abundant Life Church, a multisite church with campuses in Oregon and Washington. He's a second generation preacher with a passion for studying and communicating truth.
This week we heard from a guest speaker, Jeremy Jernigan, teach on the topic of his new book, Redeeming Pleasure. The topic of pleasure within the church has often been shied away from because of an assumption that pleasure is connected with guilt and shame. Jeremy emphasized the need to seek pleasure on God's terms where we will experience maximum pleasure rather than seeking pleasure on our own terms which ultimately leads to less pleasure.

This week our guest speaker, Jeremy Jernigan, takes us through the historical view of shepherds as having a poor reputation and a despicable nature. Despite this, Jesus took on the identity of a shepherd, turning the image on its head and redeeming it. In Jesus, what we actually see shatters what we expected to see.
