Biography

David Paul Jeremiah was born in Toledo, Ohio, the son of a pastor. He earned degrees from Cedarville University and Dallas Theological Seminary, then served in pastoral ministry in Indiana before being called to Shadow Mountain Community Church (formerly Scott Memorial Baptist Church) in El Cajon, California in 1981 — a role he still holds. In 1982 Jeremiah began Turning Point Ministries, originally a 15-minute radio program, which has now grown into a daily international radio and television broadcast carried on hundreds of stations and reaching millions weekly. Jeremiah is also chancellor of Southern California Seminary. He has authored more than fifty books including The Jeremiah Study Bible, What Are You Afraid Of?, and Where Do We Go From Here? — many of which focus on biblical prophecy, current events, and practical Christian living. He survived stage IV lymphoma in 1994 and has spoken openly about how that experience reshaped his preaching toward themes of hope, perseverance, and the second coming of Christ.

Legacy

Jeremiah is one of the most listened-to teachers in evangelical radio and television. His Turning Point broadcast is one of the few that has consistently grown audience over four decades. The Jeremiah Study Bible (HarperCollins, 2013) has become a standard study resource for laypeople with notes drawn directly from his decades of expository preaching.
