The Jerod Wessler Podcast

Two years ago I released  In The Room  , a collection of songs born in a closing studio, a prayer for a new beginning. This is a short film to mark the anniversary. Five songs. Black and white. Big trees. A ceremony of remembering. 🎧 Listen to the full EP everywhere: ffm.to/moownxy Tracklist:   I Receive Before I Cry Rebel Heart Freedom Choose The Peace Experiment #JerodWessler #InTheRoom #Singer...

I was raised culturally Christian but always felt spirit in a language bigger than what I was taught. After a wild youth, ministry, and years of searching — here's what I know: God is real. Just not the God any of us learned about. We have imperfect language for something we could never possibly understand. This tension lives in my new song Modern Devotion — especially the third verse. "T...

This song was born during a Dharma Artist Collective sprint. I picked up the Strat, found a palm muted riff, and the song arrived uninvited.

A year ago today,  Open Road, Broken Hallelujah  came out. That album stretched me into bigger arrangements, more layers, more rhythm. It was something I needed to do. Now I find myself in a different place again. Just voice. Just guitar. Same road. Same journey. — Listen to  Open Road, Broken Hallelujah :  https://ffm.to/x1axm8x Support my work / storefront:  https://jerodwessler.gumroad.com

My dad passed away on New Year’s Day after a long battle with Alzheimer’s. Music was always our connection. He taught me to play guitar and sing harmony. After losing him, I found myself returning to the simplest version of that connection… just me, an acoustic guitar, and my voice. This episode is a reflection on grief, restorative practice, and what it means to keep showing up, even when it’s me...

Today I’m sharing a simple 5-minute box breathing practice that’s been grounding for me. The breath follows a steady 4–4–4–4 rhythm: inhale, hold, exhale, hold. This is something you can return to anytime you need to slow down, reset, and reconnect with your breath. If you’d like longer versions of this practice, I’ve made those available here: https://jerodwessler.gumroad.com/l/bdgvx Thanks for b...

3 years ago today, Will the Sun came out. I didn’t plan it. I didn’t even write it down. I just sat down and hit record. I had been afraid, of being seen, and of not being seen.

Two years ago today, I released Rise Up . I actually wrote it during recovery from my first major brain injury. At the time, I had just joined Fit For Service and started making friends again. I got to perform the song on the last day of our Summit… and the way people responded… it changed me. Suddenly, all the pain, all the isolation, the struggle to feel human again, it felt worth it. During my...

In this short reflection, Jerod shares a message filmed by the tree, a moment of clarity, framed by the soft instrumental of Choose Love (Demo) . Part meditation, part artistic manifesto, this piece reminds us that we shape meaning through creation. That heaven and hell might just be different ways of seeing the same road. "The more I deepen my relationship with art, the more I create. I real...

A year ago today, I released In The Room, the last songs recorded in my original studio, inside the home where everything changed. That home held grief, healing, and the long, hard road of recovery. It was where I survived a traumatic brain injury. Where my kid left home. Where my grandfather passed. And where I fought like hell to keep creating. This episode is a reflection on the music, the spac...
