The Jinger & Jeremy Podcast

We REALLY Need a Break This Summer

Wed, 13 May 2026 07:00:00 -0000

Is your summer actually restful or just busy in a different place?

Jinger & Jeremy get real about planning a truly restorative summer with little kids, sharing their own vacation wins and fails, why they're staying in California this year, and the honest truth about traveling with young children.

But this episode goes deeper than travel tips.

They dive into a theology of rest... what Scripture says about why we crave vacations, what the Sabbath really points to, and how Jesus' promise of rest connects to our everyday longing to slow down.

What we cover:

- How to plan a family vacation that's actually restful (not just survived)

- Hotels vs. Airbnbs with kids and what works and what doesn't

- Why they're exploring California instead of flying cross-country this summer

- The biblical concept of Sabbath and what it means for modern life

- Why Jesus promises rest for weary souls and what that has to do with your summer

- Childhood vacation memories and why making them for your kids matters

When God Shows Up in Grief with Granger & Amber Smith

Wed, 06 May 2026 07:00:00 -0000

What happens when tragedy strips everything away and leaves something far greater behind? In this powerful episode, Jinger and Jeremy sit down with country music star-turned-pastor Granger Smith and his wife, author Amber Smith, for one of the most moving conversations about grief, marriage, and genuine faith you'll hear this year.

Granger opens up about walking away from a wildly successful music career, including his viral alter ego Earl Dibbles Jr. and how the devastating loss of their 3-year-old son, River, in 2019 became the catalyst for real, saving faith. Amber shares what it was like to rebuild their marriage in the wake of unimaginable grief, the pact they made to stay together, and her journey to writing her deeply hopeful book The Girl on the Bathroom Floor.

Together, they discuss the River Kelly Fund, water safety, finding purpose through pain, and what they'd say to anyone sitting on a bathroom floor with no hope left.

In this episode:

- Granger's decade-long grind in Nashville & the Earl Dibbles Jr. viral moment

- How Amber went from acting in his music video to becoming his wife

- The tragic loss of their son River and how it transformed their faith

- How they kept their marriage intact through catastrophic grief

- Amber's book The Girl on the Bathroom Floor and why it has a hopeful ending

- The River Kelly Fund and giving back globally in River's honor

- Granger's upcoming book on cultural Christianity

- What true saving faith looks like vs. cultural Christianity

Perfect for fans of: Christian podcasts, faith and grief, marriage and relationships, country music, Granger Smith, redemption stories, parenting, loss, and hope.

The Dangerous Theology Behind These Scandals

Wed, 22 Apr 2026 07:00:00 -0000

In this episode, Jinger and Jeremy Vuolo address the heartbreaking headlines surrounding Jinger’s brother and the deeper question many are asking: Why does this keep happening?

This is a difficult but necessary conversation.

We unpack the influence of Bill Gothard and the teachings of the Institute in Basic Life Principles (IBLP), exploring how harmful theology, isolation, and fear-based purity culture can create environments where secrecy and abuse take root.

While every individual is responsible for their own actions, we take a closer look at the belief systems that shape behavior and why ideas about God, sin, sexuality, and authority truly matter.

In this episode, we discuss:

- The real impact of IBLP and Bill Gothard’s teachings

- How purity culture and silence around sex can lead to shame and secrecy

- Why isolation doesn’t fix sin and can actually make things worse

- The difference between external rules vs. true heart transformation

- What the Bible actually says about sin, justice, and healing

- How to find hope, healing, and truth in Jesus Christ

This conversation is rooted in truth, accountability, and ultimately hope.If you’ve been hurt by toxic religion, spiritual abuse, or confusing teachings, this episode is for you.

Forgiving Family Abuse & Escaping Religious Hypocrisy: Stephen McWhirter’s Story | Ep. 85

Wed, 04 Mar 2026 05:00:00 -0000

Today we’re talking about forgiving family members who hurt you and how to hold on to Jesus after religious hypocrisy and abuse. Worship leader and songwriter Stephen McWhirter (known for “Come Jesus Come” and his book Radically Restored) shares his story: growing up with a preacher father, witnessing abuse, spiraling into addiction, and encountering Jesus in a life-changing moment.

We also unpack what forgiveness actually is (and isn’t): why forgiveness doesn’t always mean reconciliation, how boundaries can still be biblical, and what it looks like to forgive even when someone never apologizes. If you’ve ever wrestled with church hurt, anger, grief, or the question “Can God restore what was destroyed?” this episode is for you.

Reddit Hate, Online Bullies, & Why We Wrote This Book

Wed, 18 Feb 2026 05:00:00 -0000

In this episode, we’re diving deep into childhood bullying, cyberbullying, and online criticism... and how it affects not just kids, but adults too. From playground teasing to Reddit threads and tabloid headlines, we react to real comments about our marriage, parenting decisions, and public life.

As a couple in the public eye, we’ve faced online hate, marriage rumors, body shaming, and harsh assumptions, and we’re sharing how we’ve learned not to rise or fall with public opinion. We talk about setting boundaries with social media, overcoming people-pleasing tendencies, and raising confident kids in a digital world filled with cyberbullying.

Most importantly, we explain why these experiences inspired us to write our new Christian children’s book about identity, belonging, and confidence in Christ. In a culture driven by validation, social media pressure, and comparison, we want to help kids understand their worth, build resilience, and remember they are made in the image of God. ❤️

If you’re looking for conversations about:

Bullying and cyberbullying

Parenting in the age of social media

Marriage rumors and tabloid culture

People pleasing and identity

Raising confident Christian kids

Dealing with online hate and criticism

Purity Culture & Reality TV Ruined Dating Expectations!

Wed, 28 Jan 2026 05:00:00 -0000

In this episode of the Jinger & Jeremy Podcast, Jinger and Jeremy Vuolo dive deep into dating expectations, purity culture, and the pressure many Christians feel to “get it right” in relationships.

Jeremy shares his honest reaction to watching 19 Kids and Counting before he ever knew Jinger and how reality TV and Christian culture can unintentionally create unrealistic expectations for dating, courtship, and marriage. Jinger opens up about growing up with fear-based rules around relationships, guarding her heart, and believing that strict systems could guarantee safety and success.

Together, they unpack:

Unrealistic dating expectations for Christian men and women
How purity culture can create fear instead of freedom
Why checklists, rules, and “perfect formulas” don’t actually protect marriages
What real safety and confidence in a relationship looks like
How to discern character beyond appearances, answers, or religious systems
The importance of dating in community and seeing faith lived out under pressure

This episode is especially for singles navigating Christian dating, couples questioning old beliefs, and anyone healing from rigid relationship teachings. If you’ve ever wondered “How can you truly know someone?” or felt overwhelmed by expectations placed on dating and marriage, this conversation offers clarity, honesty, and hope.

When Jeremy RUINED Christmas... Here's What Happened!

Wed, 17 Dec 2025 05:00:00 -0000

One year. One movie choice. And Christmas was never the same. 😬

In this holiday episode of The Jinger & Jeremy Podcast, Jeremy confesses to the moment he almost completely derailed Christmas — and from there, things only get more controversial.

We’re answering the spiciest Christmas questions people are afraid to ask, including:

🎁 Should adults even exchange gifts — or is Christmas just for kids?

🛍️ Has consumerism ruined Christmas?

🎄 Real tree vs. fake tree (this might start a fight)

🥛 Is eggnog actually good… or are we all lying?

🎅 Santa, traditions, and what we tell our kids

🎬 The best Christmas movie ever (no, we don’t all agree)

We also talk about:

- Family traditions that actually matter

- Why memories beat “stuff”

- Sentimental gifts vs. last-minute Amazon panic

- How Christmas looks different in seasons of marriage, parenting, and adulthood.

This episode is funny, honest, nostalgic, and a little unhinged — perfect to listen to while wrapping presents, driving to see family, or taking a moment of peace in the bathroom.

🎧 Let us know in the comments:

👉 Did Jeremy actually ruin Christmas?

👉 Are you team REAL tree or FAKE tree?

👉 Is eggnog elite or disgusting?

Merry Christmas from our family to yours 🤍

— Jinger & Jeremy

Are Disney and Taylor Swift Demonic? Jinger Reacts

Wed, 10 Dec 2025 05:00:00 -0000

Is Disney demonic? Can Christians watch Disney or listen to Taylor Swift? This week, Jinger & Jeremy dive deep into one of the internet’s most heated debates in the Christian community.

Jinger opens up about her childhood—growing up with strict limits around movies and TV—and the surreal experience of visiting Disneyland even though she didn’t know the characters. The two discuss how they now navigate entertainment with their own kids, including screen time, Disney movies, alternatives like Bluey, and which shows cross the line.

They also address the Taylor Swift controversy, including the moment Jinger was rejected from a speaking event simply for attending a Taylor Swift movie night with friends.

Jeremy walks through the biblical principles of discernment, wisdom, influence, and how Christians can appreciate creativity, art, music, and storytelling without compromising their faith.

This episode covers:– Disney, magic, and Christian values– Alternatives for families raising young kids– Discernment vs. legalism– How celebrities shape culture– Why Christians should avoid extremes– What the Bible says about being “in the world, but not of it”– Idolatry, influence, and renewing the mindIf you’re wrestling with how to navigate movies, shows, social media, or music as a Christian, this conversation will give you clarity, encouragement, and practical wisdom.

Her Dad Gave Me A 200 Question Exam Before I Could Take Her Out On A Date

Wed, 03 Dec 2025 08:00:00 -0000

Ten years ago, Jeremy asked Jinger’s dad if he could take her on a date… and he got a 60-page, 235-question courtship questionnaire — the one fans have wondered about for years.

For the first time ever, Jinger and Jeremy open the actual document on camera and tell the full story behind it: the early El Salvador conversations, how Jeremy filled it out in an airport over Christmas, why his answers exploded the page count to 107 pages, and the surprisingly intense questions that shaped their entire relationship.

They read real questions straight from the questionnaire — from theology to family history to finances to purity — and unpack how this vetting process connected to IBLP culture, the pressure of public relationships, and why some parts helped… and why some parts didn’t.

You’ll also hear never-before-shared moments:

• Jinger overhears Jeremy’s first talk with her dad through a window in El Salvador

• How the questionnaire pushed their relationship forward at lightning speed

• The answers Jeremy gave (including the very first question that turned into 7 pages)

• The behind-the-scenes emotions, fears, and relief Jinger felt reading his answers

If you’ve ever wondered whether the famous Duggar courtship questionnaire was real, what was actually inside it, or how it impacted Jinger and Jeremy’s story, this episode finally gives the honest truth.

Comment below if you want Part 2, where they reveal the more questions they didn’t get to this time.

How Do You Survive Losing a Child? | Tim & Aileen Challies on the Death of Their 20-Year-Old Son

Wed, 19 Nov 2025 08:00:00 -0000

Today’s episode is one of the most tender and hope-filled conversations we’ve ever had.
We sit down with our dear friends Tim and Aileen Challies, who several years ago walked through every parent’s nightmare—the sudden and unexpected loss of their 20-year-old son, Nick.

In this deeply honest conversation, Tim and Aileen share:

The moment they received the devastating news
How they clung to what they believed about God when everything collapsed
The difference between anger at God and being hurt by God’s providence
How grief affects marriage—and how to survive it together
What it looks like to “deploy your theology” when tragedy hits
Practical ways Christians can comfort the grieving
How the Church became their lifeline
Why the Christian can truly grieve with hope
How losing Nick reshaped their understanding of heaven

Tim also shares the gospel with remarkable clarity and compassion, pointing listeners to the only place where true hope in sorrow can be found.

This episode is for anyone who has experienced loss of any kind—or for those who want to understand how to love the grieving well.
We pray this conversation brings comfort, clarity, and hope in Christ.

We kick off a new segment—“Talk About It”—with Jeremy’s rain-soaked backstage wipeout and a suspiciously balloon-sized hand… then dive into a tender conversation about helping kids handle embarrassment, mockery, and people-pleasing. We share Felicity’s story, talk about why living for approval is a trap, and how to anchor identity in Christ.

BIG NEWS: we’re announcing our new children’s book, You Always Belong: Knowing God’s Love and Finding Your Place (ages 4–10). It walks through real-life moments—being laughed at in class, getting left out on the playground, missing the shot in sports—and helps kids remember: God’s not laughing at you. He loves you, and you belong.
Beautifully illustrated by Sarah Romero, with a read-along audiobook recorded by both of us. Available for preorder now. Releases January 26.

If you’re a parent, grandparent, or work with kids, we pray this becomes a simple, hope-filled tool for big feelings and hard days.

Too Young to Have Kids? American Idol Love, 8× Platinum… and Babies?! | Gabby Barrett & Cade Foehner

Wed, 24 Sep 2025 07:00:00 -0000

Why would Gabby Barrett get married and start a family at the height of her career?

Country star Gabby Barrett (8x platinum “I Hope”) and husband Cade Foehner sit down with us to talk about the questions young couples in the spotlight get told to ask: Were we told not to have kids? Would kids ruin our careers? And how did their American Idol backstage friendship turn into a Christ-centered marriage and family of five?

We hit the real stuff—labels, touring with three littles, homeschooling on a bus, reframing success around faithfulness (not charts), and how the gospel changed Gabby’s life in 2018. Plus: the behind the scenes of their Idol-era love story, getting engaged, and Cade’s upcoming country record 👀

This week has been heavy. In this episode of The Jinger & Jeremy Podcast, we reflect on the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk, the devastating wave of violence across the country, and the personal trial of our dear friend Erin Bates Paine, who nearly lost her life to septic shock shortly after giving birth to her seventh child.

We talk about what it means to process grief as Christians—not rushing to explanations, but pausing to weep with those who weep, to remember the reality of heaven, and to cling to God’s promises. You’ll hear us discuss:

How Charlie Kirk’s legacy of courage and gospel-centered boldness points us toward Christ.
The unimaginable moment of telling a child their daddy isn’t coming home.
Erin Bates’ testimony of faith in the hospital and her daughter’s powerful letter reminding us that God’s promises hold true even in suffering.
The hope we have in Jesus, who conquered sin, death, and the brokenness of this world.

In the midst of a dark week, we want to point you to the light that never goes out—the hope of the gospel and the promise of eternity with Christ.

The Real Lydia (Plath) Wyse: Filming on TLC, Meeting Zac, & a Whirlwind Relationship

Wed, 23 Jul 2025 07:10:00 -0000

Are the Plaths basically the Duggars? Do they share the same beliefs, values, and lifestyle? In this episode, Lydia Plath — now Lydia Wyse — joins us with her husband Zac to answer that and more.

Lydia gives us a rare, behind-the-scenes look at her childhood: the farm life, food storage, shower schedules, and quiet emotional world she grew up in. She opens up about her family’s unique beliefs, their motivation for off-grid living, and what emotional connection looked like (or didn’t) in the Plath home.

Then things take a turn — Zac enters the picture. From meeting at church in Colorado to a sunrise mountain hike, a spontaneous dance in the road, and a whirlwind love story that led to a quick marriage, they walk us through the real story — including the drama that came with getting married so fast.

Wed, 09 Jul 2025 07:00:00 -0000

In this deeply personal episode, Jinger sits down with her sisters Jessa and Joy for a raw, heartfelt conversation about miscarriage—something all three have experienced and grieved.

They open up about how they found peace, comfort, and even joy in the midst of sorrow—through faith, through community, and through the unshakable hope of heaven. The sisters also share practical ways to support someone grieving, the vital role of husbands and family, and how to speak honestly with God in times of darkness.

Escaping the Cult, Exposing the Lie, and Discovering God's Will: Costi's Story

Wed, 30 Apr 2025 04:00:00 -0000

Costi Hinn was raised in the heart of the prosperity gospel. On the surface, his experience couldn’t be more different than Jinger's—one shaped by strict rules and fear, the other by wealth, spectacle, and healing crusades. But the core was the same: man-made teachings that distorted the gospel and placed impossible burdens on the soul.

In this episode, we sit down with someone who had to walk away from everything—family expectations, public identity, and a counterfeit version of Christianity—to discover the truth of God’s Word. From catching people “slain in the spirit” at massive crusades to reading the Bible with fresh eyes, his journey mirrors Jinger’s in stunning ways.

We also talk about how to make decisions with confidence, discern God's will, and why it’s worth losing everything to gain Christ.

Jeremy and I explore why so many of us fall into the trap of people-pleasing, what it looks like in our daily lives, and the journey that led me to write this book. We also share practical ways to break free from the weight of living for others’ approval and discover the freedom that comes from living for Christ. If you’ve ever struggled with people pleasing—or want to encourage someone who has—we hope this conversation brings clarity, encouragement, and hope.

Was Our Marriage Arranged?

Wed, 08 Jan 2025 08:00:00 -0000

We answer YOUR QUESTIONS about courting and marriage--like, was our marriage arranged? In this episode, we’re diving deep into the topic of relationships—how we date, court, and ultimately choose a spouse. We share our personal stories, reflect on the courtship model Jinger grew up with, and explore what the Bible has to say about how we should approach relationships.

We also ask a big question—are arranged marriages better than the Western dating system? We take a look at cultures like India, where parents often play a significant role in choosing a spouse, and we discuss whether involving family more intentionally might lead to stronger marriages.

Join us as we wrestle through these questions, challenge assumptions, and examine what God’s Word says about love, marriage, and honoring Him in our relationships. Whether you’re single, dating, or married, we hope this conversation encourages you to think biblically about how we pursue love and commitment.

Purity culture

Wed, 14 Aug 2024 07:00:00 -0000

This episode is all about dating, relationships, and purity culture. Purity culture was a movement within some Christian communities during the 90's and 00's that rejected dating and replaced it with courtship. The idea behind it seemed good: helping young people pursue relationships in a healthy and God-honoring way. But it quickly lost its way. In this episode, Jinger and Jeremy talk about their experiences within purity culture and how to truly honor God in your relationships.
