Black Hawk Baptist—a church that hadn’t yet been started. “Starting a new church isn’t on my bucket list,” he told his friend. But when he began to pray about the decision, Jeremiah knew what he had to do. The church grew to 1,500 members and built a school during his pastorate.

Jeremiah’s deep passion for the Bible, including prophecy and end-times doctrine, drives him to pore over his sermons through the week, preparing not just an outline but a carefully crafted sermon, word for word, that he can hardly wait to share.

“At any given time, if I ask Dr. J what he is excited about, his answer is ‘Sunday,’” says Paul Joiner, chief creative officer and executive producer of Turning Point. “I’ve worked with him for 30 years, and it’s always the same.”

His closest friends bear out his humility; his love for his flock at Shadow Mountain; and his fierce love and protection of Donna, his bride of 61 years, and his four children—David Michael, president of Turning Point; Daniel, sports analyst with the NFL Network and commentator for Jeremiah’s favorite team, the Los Angeles Chargers; Jennifer, who works with the women’s ministry at Shadow Mountain; and Jan, an event planner.
