Zach, you are correct that Jan Pondel was born in Cierpisz, Kraczkowa Parish, 8 miles from Rzeszow, but in FamilySearch Catalog

Baptismal Records of Pondel Children, born in Cierpisz, Kraczkowa Parish 1892-1902.jpg

we do not have any records from Kraczkowa Parish. You will find a number of children of Jozef Pondel and Katarzyna Bem (possibly his second wife, as mother of Jan was Katarzyna, born Sroka), children born year 1892-1902, indexed in Geneteka.genealodzy.pl These records are in szukajwarchiwach or Polish State Archives, but they do not have the earlier records. Most likely the earlier Kraczkowa records were destroyed during the war.  Your best solution is to hire one of two genealogists, the only ones who are permitted to access Przemysl Diocese Archives where a duplicate birth record of Jan Pondel may be found. You may contact Lucjan Cichocki checking his website for contact:  https://www.polishancestryresearch.com/       

I hope you can find the birth record of your Jan Pondel.
