  • Faith, Judgment, and Salvation—Do We Really Trust the Father?

    Faith, Judgment, and Salvation—Do We Really Trust the Father?

    by

    Tim Jennings, M.D.

    Do we really believe that Jesus and the Father are one and that if we have seen Jesus, we have seen the Father? Do we have faith and trust in the Father, or do we have faith in the misguided mechanics, the mechanisms, the legal loopholes we have invented to protect us from Him?

  • Why Women in the Bible Represent Either the Bride (Church) or the Prostitute

    Why Women in the Bible Represent Either the Bride (Church) or the Prostitute

    by

    Tim Jennings, M.D.

    The Bible is rich in symbolism, dreams, parables, illustrations, poetry, metaphors, prophecy, rituals, and ceremonies. One of the object lessons in Scripture is that a pure woman represents the church (the bride of Christ) while an impure woman represents the lost. The question is, why do women represent these two groups and not men?

    A Blessing God Cannot Give & the Lesson of Uncooked Dough

    In this blog, we will unpack the object lesson application of events that occurred after the Passover and the tenth plague in Exodus 12.

  • Are Christian Hospitals Still Christian?

    Are Christian Hospitals Still Christian?

    by

    Tim Jennings, M.D.

    Recently, a friend of mine, who has worked for a Christian hospital for over 30 years, had a cardiac event that required admission and surgery at the hospital where he works. In the aftermath of his hospitalization, he emailed me the following:

  • Two Covenants Upon Two Laws

    Two Covenants Upon Two Laws

    by

    Tim Jennings, M.D.

    Did you know that there are two covenants in the Bible that are based upon two laws, two promises, two lands, and two starting and ending points? In this blog I contrast and compare them.

  • Atonement Discussion with ChatGPT

    Atonement Discussion with ChatGPT

    by

    Tim Jennings, M.D.

    This blog documents excerpts from a friend’s discussion he had with Open AI’s Chat GPT. It is quite fascinating that this artificial intelligence is able to fairly accurately and concisely describe the differences in the human imposed law, the law-and-order approach, and the design-law Creator approach to understanding sin and salvation.

  • A Response to Eugene Prewitt’s Public Paper

    A Response to Eugene Prewitt’s Public Paper

    by

    Tim Jennings, M.D.

    About a decade ago, I became aware of a public paper by Eugene Prewitt criticizing me and what I teach and will now address some of the allegations he made.

    Overcoming Fear: How Faith Parts the Waters — Part 2

    by

    Tim Jennings, M.D.

    In part two, we explore further lessons to help us in our journey toward the heavenly promised land.

  • Overcoming Fear: How Faith Parts the Waters — Part 1

    Overcoming Fear: How Faith Parts the Waters — Part 1

    by

    Tim Jennings, M.D.

    One of the lessons we can learn from the Bible’s written record of Exodus is God’s plan to free us from sin personally, individually, and globally—the human species at the second coming of Christ.

  • Jonah: An Object Lesson for the Church

    Jonah: An Object Lesson for the Church

    by

    Tim Jennings, M.D.

    Has the church been reluctant to stand up and call out the wickedness and abuses of power by the godless? Throughout history, has the church been reluctant to take the true gospel message and gone in a different direction instead? Could Jonah’s fleeing fit the church?

  • Differentiating Narcissism from Asperger’s (Autism) and How to Deal with Both

    Differentiating Narcissism from Asperger’s (Autism) and How to Deal with Both

    by

    Tim Jennings, M.D.

    Over the years, I have received many requests for advice from those seeking wisdom and guidance on dealing with a narcissist. But, did you know that Asperger’s (high-level functional autism) has similar traits and behaviors? In this blog, I’ll explore the differences and how you can deal with each one effectively.

    Dr. Jennings’ Reflections on Events at the 62nd General Conference of SDA and an Appeal to Those Who Shut Down Our Booth

    by

    Tim Jennings, M.D.

    The following are my reflections on the events that we, Come and Reason Ministries, experienced at the 62nd General Conference of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, which was held in St. Louis, Missouri, from July 3 to 13, 2025.

Testimony 71

When I was 9 years old, I remember setting at our devotional table with a hunger and thirst for God that wanted more, deeper, BETTER. I can remember literally crying and pounding on the table, “I know these teachers didn’t mean to give us error. They taught what THEY had been TAUGHT, but didn’t ANYBODY READ THE BOOK?!?!?” It mattered to me then. It mattered to me as a teenager. It matters now as I teach bible classes. It didn’t have to be so hard as I watched so many give up and lay God’s great plan and gift of salvation aside as being “impossible.” Then, a friend sent me a link to Come And Reason’s website. I grew excited. YES! FINALLY! Then another friend told me to stay away, saying her son had just broken up with a girl because she was involved with Come And Reason and that “Tim Jennings preaches a false gospel.” But, AFTER many years of developing an authentic and, dare I say FUN relationship with Jesus, through the Holy Spirit I see this message has been around a LONG time, since the apostle Paul, Ellen White, Graham Maxwell, Ray Foucher, and yourself (though I admit, you’ve made me back up, rewind and replay the clips, and get out my well-worn Bible on a few things.) I’m so thankful I have found LIGHT during these DARK days. I am not alone.

Testimony 31

It was very touching to hear the testimony of your class share how viewing God’s true character has changed their lives. My feelings are the same – there is so much freedom in knowing that God LOVES me – regardless of my… just, REGARDLESS! I’m still blown away by the true gospel, the fact that God is not ready to strike us when we fail. He is not arbitrary. He simply loves us and warns of the natural consequences because He can’t stand to see us suffer. I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS GOD!!!

Testimony 28

I have been following your Bible study class for about a year now. I must say I am impressed with how your ministry has grown. I took it upon myself to listen to all your lesson podcasts from the past and they have both enriched me physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. I have learnt a lot from this class. I have also noticed how the class has grown in spiritual strength. One of the things that benefited me is that now I am not afraid of God. I use to be, but now it has melted away. The second thing is that you helped me to have a real life relationship with God. Now He is my friend that was always there and I love having him with me all the time. Thirdly, because of this class, it inspired me to take over and lead a class. I have called it “Let Us Reason Together,” adapting your inquisitive style and creating a class of free thinkers.

I really enjoy with you the view of a gracious God. Thank you for sharing the work you are allowing the Lord to do in you.

Testimony 24

I wanted to thank you very much for presenting your understanding of God. I’ve always been troubled by this question: Why did Jesus have to die? Since my conversion I understood that The Father & Jesus are one, I did not have issues with that. But was there not any other way to save us than for Jesus to die? I guess I actually had a question about God – if He is so wise, how come He did not find another way? I did not see the real ‘beauty’  in the cross. Only when you explained the picture in the medical context, Jesus providing medicine for my selfishness, have I started to finally ‘see the light’. Thank you so much. Your seminar, “Healing the Mind,” are absolutely marvelous & have shared them with my family and many other people, including colleagues at work. Thanks, thanks, thanks. May God bless you abundantly in your ministry.

Testimony 36

Thank you and may God continue to bless you as you share with others the intricacies of how we are all “fearfully and wonderfully made”. I must share that you have opened a whole new world to me, and I have found tremendous healing through what you have shared in two of your books, “Could It Be This Simple?” and “The God Shaped Brain.” I praise God for what you shared, what I have learned, and how I have grown and healed! My prayer is that My Precious Jesus will be seen by others in the way I live, act, talk, etc. and they may be encouraged to know He is truly a GREAT God of LOVE, desiring that no one should perish! God Bless you in your continued endeavors to present Him as He really is!

Testimony 41

I have been blessed by your ministry. I have experienced personally, and deeply resonate with, the God of love and the beautiful picture of God’s character that you present. I have seen your seminar series on YouTube, read ‘The Journal of the Watcher’ book, used your mobile app, and also listen/study the bible study lesson with you each week. I concur with many of the thoughts and perspectives that you share. I understand your conclusions on natural laws vs imposed law and the legal/penal substitution (incorrect diagnosis). This makes perfect sense to me.

Bless you for all you do.

I would love to have a copy of “Healing the Mind” DVDs to have in my therapy office. I enjoy having clients check out materials to enhance their therapy experience. I have sat under Dr. Jennings’ teaching at an American Association of Christian Counselors convention and respect his work greatly.

Testimony 73

I have been truly blessed by your blogs and other resources. They have helped me to see things in a much brighter light and to reason things out better. Thank you so much for your ministry. Whenever I have the opportunity I pass along your material to my friends.

Testimony 59

I’m a native Ghanan, but am currently in France for my master’s degree. Prior to this, during my final years at undergraduate studies in Ghana, I was introduced to your ministry and I’ve been immensely blessed by what you share, especially about the Design and Imposed Laws. God richly bless you for that.

One of the first things I did when I arrived in France was to buy all four of your books. They not only helped me, but those I shared them with. I shared the message with an atheist student and I marveled at how God worked mightily in his life. Today this person shares the Love of God with others and debunks theories of who God is not. I want to share what you present in your “Heavenly Sanctuary and Investigative Judgment” pamphlet, because the message brought rest to my soul and I live today as a healthy person.

God bless you so much and your ministry.

Testimony 76

Warm greetings from Tanzania! I just wanted to take a moment to thank you and your team at Come And Reason Ministries for the amazing work you do. Your teachings have opened my eyes to deep biblical truths and how to live them out in real life. I started following the ministry back in 2018, and ever since, my walk with God has grown so much stronger. I’ve found freedom from fear-based faith and now live with more peace and trust in Him. I’ve also been sharing what I’ve learned, especially through Bible School discussions. Your lessons are so insightful and well-explained that I try not to miss a single one. May God continue to bless the work you’re doing.

Testimony 22

I have found your Bible study class lectures to be very inspiring and useful as I prepare to teach class every other week. I subscribe to the podcast and download your notes on the weeks I teach. The audio and notes are such a great help in preparing. My own understanding of God’s character has grown as I teach the class. Commendations on the thought-provoking and well-prepared material Come and Reason provides. Personally, I get excited by the tie you make between the spiritual and mental/physical domains.

Testimony 18

The Healing the Mind DVD set tarted me on a journey that has changed my relationship with our loving God more significantly than any other study, and brought me to your book and Bible study podcasts, which I now listen to daily, thanks to the availability of archived content on your site and on iTunes.
