Jesus Hates Religion Podcast Teaser
Hosts Jody Faison & Everett Warmack kick off the podcast by setting the stage: this is a space for rediscovering the raw, historical, and often uncomfortable truth about Jesus—apart from the religious systems that have distorted Him.
Why did Jesus stir up so much tension? What does it actually mean to follow Him in a world shaped by performance and politics? Skeptics, seekers, and curious listeners in Bend and beyond are invited to reconsider the most important figure in history—on His own terms.
Ep. 01 - What Do We Mean When We Say Jesus Hates Religion?
Everett and Jody unpack the bold claim behind the podcast's title—and why it's more biblically grounded and historically important than you might think.
From corrupt religious systems in Jesus' day to the checklists and cultural expressions of faith today, this conversation digs into what Jesus actually opposed… and why He's still worth following.
If you've ever felt like religion complicates what Jesus made simple, this one's for you.
Ep. 02 - Is it really a relationship vs. a religion???
Everett and Jody unpack the temple scene—and what it reveals about Jesus' heart, justice, and how religion can get in the way of people meeting God.
This isn't just a story about ancient Jerusalem. It's a challenge to reflect on our own assumptions about church, money, and what truly matters to Jesus.
If you've ever felt like church became more about performance than people, this one's for you.
Filmed from a local brewery, this episode unpacks the explosive conversations and confrontations Jesus had with the religious elite—and why they never ended well.
Everett and Jody explore how Jesus consistently challenged manmade systems, led with mercy over ritual, and chose compassion over control. They break down what it means to sit at the table, why Jesus wept after He rebuked, and how this tension still plays out today.
Whether you've been burned by church or are wrestling with faith, this episode will help you see Jesus more clearly—and maybe even see yourself in the story.

Ep. 03 - The Conversations That Got Jesus Killed
Ep. 04 - The Shocking Places Jesus Chose to Go
Jesus didn't avoid the messy parts of society—He walked straight into them. Everett and Jody unpack why Jesus chose to sit with tax collectors, prostitutes, and outcasts instead of the religious elite.
From lepers to Samaritans to sketchy dinner tables, Jesus showed up in the places no one expected—and changed everything. This episode explores what that means for us today, how we've lost our way in the name of religion, and why real transformation still happens at the table.
If you're tired of shallow debates and ready for real conversation, this episode is for you.
Ep. 05 - When Jesus Blows Up Your Religion
In the final episode of Season 1, Everett and Jody dive into an uncomfortable truth: Jesus doesn't just comfort—He confronts.
If you've ever felt burned by church or jaded by religion, you're not alone. But what if Jesus is inviting you into something far better—through curiosity, confrontation, and childlike faith? This episode explores deconstruction vs. reconstruction, demolition vs. rebuilding, and why many people walk away from faith without ever discovering what's truly on offer. Spoiler: it's not religion. It's rest. It's freedom. It's the real Jesus.
Whether you're done with church or just asking new questions about faith, this conversation is an invitation to come to the table—empty pockets, open hands.
