The Jerod Wessler Podcast
I am a singer, songwriter, guitar player, music producer, author, meditation facilitator, prayer warrior and my friends occasionally accuse me of being a spiritual teacher... This podcast is about wherever The Muse takes me and whatever I find interesting.
Episodes
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.
"Thought I knew what God was

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.

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 messy.
Part of the Dharma Artist Collect...
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:

Gratitude is not an attitude.
It’s directions to where joy is found.
Take 30 seconds today.
Ask yourself:
What have I been grateful for recently?
What did my body show me in that moment?
Did I move closer or further from joy?
We don’t always need answers.
But we can keep asking better questions.
That’s what it means to choose love.

Am I the only one who does this with music?
I start living inside the emotions of the writer.
I imagine what they were feeling, who they were, what they’d been through.
Maybe I’ve always been preparing to write songs like that myself.
Does this happen to you too?
Let me know.
And check out Choose Love this Friday.

Will the fire die?
Will the light be extinguished forever?
I say no.
The light and the fire are the same.
And even when we are surrounded by so much darkness...
The light lives on.

I come from a line of musicians who gave it all up for family.
I did too until everything broke.
Then I told myself:
If I can make music again, this will all be worth it.
That’s my why.

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.
But the moment I let go…
Will the Sun got me out of my own way.
Keep creating. You’re not alone.

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 darkest nights, I used to t...
