Prayers for Peace to the Prince of Peace

“For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given, and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9:6). The prophet Isaiah shared this prophecy and description of Christ 700 years before His birth, and it is as true today and tomorrow as it was then.

Each of these titles and characteristics hold significant meaning and have [spun] numerous sermons, studies and hymns. In the carol It Came Upon the Midnight Clear writer Edmund Sears penned the words “Peace on the earth, goodwill to men, from heaven’s all-gracious King!…When with the ever-circling years shall come the time foretold, when peace shall over all the earth its ancient splendors fling,” an allusion to the peace Christ brought at His birth and the peace that will reign over all at His return. In Charles Wesley’s Hark! The Herald Angels Sing we sing “Glory to the newborn King; peace on earth, and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled!... Hail the heaven-born Prince of Peace!” praising the attributes that belong to God alone.

Prince of Peace is truly a title that belongs to Jesus alone. Over the centuries many have promised to bring peace to various trials, conflicts and wars, but none have achieved a lasting peace. We need only turn on the news to see that peace is needed. From the recent tragedies in Australia and Rhode Island to conflicts that may be boiling in your own life, only Christ can promise and deliver lasting peace because He is the Prince of Peace.

He came as a baby, God-Incarnate, to dwell among us and take on our burdens. While the world around us may be filled with noise and strife, we can celebrate this season, and every season, resting in the words of Jesus because He told us, “Be of good cheer I have overcome the world” (John 16:33). His peace is not fleeting; it is not of this world. He is the Prince of Peace, and He speaks peace into our sorrows, strength into our weaknesses and courage into our fears.

Whether you are overwhelmed by the world right now or fully embracing the joys of Christmas, I want to invite you to take a moment to be still and silent before the Lord. To relish in the splendor of His birth, of who He is, what He did and what He is still doing.

This Christmas may we join together in a prayer of peace to the Prince of Peace for our ourselves, our families, our community and the world.

Dear Heavenly Father,

You gave us the greatest gift when You sent Your Son to be born of the virgin Mary and dwell among us.

But the joy of Christmas can be muddled by the events in the world around us and the frenzy of the season.

So, Lord, we want to take the time to remember and reflect that You are the Prince of Peace. The one and only true source of stability in an unstable world. In You there is joy everlasting and peace that surpasses understanding.

You came to earth in the most unexpected way, and Your birth brought together unexpected people. This Christmas may You show up in each of our lives in unexpected ways again.

May You, the Prince of Peace, give us peace always in every way. For when You give quietness who can make trouble?

Lord, let that that quiet peace fill our hearts and minds this Christmas. Let us be a stable example for the world around, today and every day, as we emulate You, the Prince of Peace

We pray this prayer for ourselves, our families and the world. Knowing that You brought peace to us, You are peace in us and You will bring lasting peace when You return.

Amen

Merry Christmas!

Turning Point with David Jeremiah Reaches Out to Prisons This Christmas Season

(San Diego, CA) Evangelism is at the heart of Dr. David Jeremiah’s Turning Point broadcast ministry, and he never forgets that while you can share the Gospel worldwide through the advancements in technology, you must also be the hands and feet of Christ in places sometimes forgotten. To that end, this year Turning Point created the Heart of Christmas campaign to deliver Dr. Jeremiah’s new fiction book Vanished to more than 30,000 inmates incarcerated around the US this Christmas.

Working with existing prison outreach organizations, chaplain associations, and local partners, Turning Point will donate 30,420 copies of Vanished to more than 70 correctional facilities across the United States. The books are set to arrive in time to distribute as Christmas gifts to the inmates.

“In Matthew, Jesus says, ‘Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ For many prisoners, reading is one of the few pleasures they have, and Christmas is a lonely time of year for them. My prayer is that Vanished will have an eternal impact on them, and they will understand the truth of the Gospel,” said Dr. Jeremiah

Vanished is one of Dr. Jeremiah’s newest books and was co-written with Sam O’Neal. It is the first fiction book by Dr. Jeremiah, and it blends elements of biblical prophecy with human drama, mystery, apocalyptic high stakes, and suspense. The exhilarating story explores the world of the end. Set in the time period leading up to the Rapture, Vanished follows protagonist John “Haggs” Haggerty as he navigates life as a military leader and father in a world plagued by crisis.

“It was great to get to talk to the prison chaplains who have such amazing ministries with inmates, and that we were able to contribute to their ministries. We called to bless them, but it felt like I was the one being blessed!” added Catherine Bodeker, a CSR Trainer at Turning Point who helped coordinate the distribution of the Heart of Christmas campaign.

Vanished was released on July 1, 2025.

Dr. David Jeremiah is a renowned Bible teacher, New York Times bestselling author, and founder/host of Turning Point Broadcast Ministry.

Turning Point with David Jeremiah celebrates 25 years of national broadcasting

(San Diego, CA) – After an amazing quarter-century, Turning Point with David Jeremiah is celebrating 25 years of national television broadcasting.

The milestone was celebrated this summer with a reflective look at where the show began, how the national broadcast came into existence, and where it’s at today. Hosted at Turning Point’s Media Studio in San Diego, California, the celebration was anchored by a panel discussion between founder & host Dr. David Jeremiah, CEO David Michael Jeremiah, and CCO Paul Joiner. It was attended by Turning Point’s entire staff, media partners from across the industry, and local special guests. The panel discussion was then aired on Turning Point’s digital platforms and its app TurningPoint+ throughout the summer season.

Launched in 2000 on Trinity Broadcasting Network, Turning Point with David Jeremiah quickly became known for Dr. Jeremiah’s Bible Strong teaching and its unique, creative show open. Blending biblical themes with innovative storytelling, eye-catching visuals, and high-quality production, the show opened a new medium through which Turning Point could reach diverse audiences with the Gospel.

“Television is such a powerful medium, and the outreach it has given Turning Point has allowed the organization to grow and expand,” said Dr. Jeremiah. “We came to realize that for us, television was not about a program, it’s a message. We determine what message we are trying to communicate, then we build a huge campaign around it. The message is the driving force.”

“That really changed everything for us, and we grew so fast,” added CEO David Micheal Jeremiah. “From those messages come books, study materials, and resources, digital and social media content. It’s a multiplier and creates synergy across the whole organization. The Great Disappearance is a great example of that.”

Radio built a strong foundation for Turning Point’s broadcast, but the television audience has been our most responsive.

“It is an incredible blessing to be celebrating 25 years of continuous national broadcasting. God took something little and made it big. We are reaping the reward of seeds sown in the early days when there were only a few of us running programming. It’s why we are where we are today,” expounded Chief Creative Officer, Paul Joiner.

While Turning Point took time to celebrate 25 years of Turning Point with David Jeremiah on television, it acknowledged that growth in the digital space is enormous and intends to meet that moment. Still, it will be in addition to their current radio and TV programming, not in place of them.

Turning Point with David Jeremiah can currently be seen on 17 national or regional networks and on 160 local stations/affiliates. In addition to its US broadcast, Turning Point with David Jeremiah airs in Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom, as well as in 13 additional languages around the world. Since its 2000 national release, Turning Point with David Jeremiah has aired 101 unique teaching series, and 153 million programs were watched in 2023. Viewers can find their local station here: Turning Point Station Locator and catch up on past episodes on the Turning Point website or the Turning Point+ App.

The best evidence of a Spirit-filled life is an attitude of thanksgiving and gratitude.

Those two attributes are not something we talk enough about. They tend to fill our conversations during this time of year when we pause as a nation to celebrate Thanksgiving Day and begin ringing in the Christmas season, but the rest of the year, it’s not a prominent topic.

However, that’s not the message we find in the Bible. Instead, we find that cultivating an attitude of thanksgiving and gratitude changes your perspective. Gratitude is the best evidence that God is working in your life.

The words “thanks, thankful, thanksgiving” appear more than 150 times in the Bible. Two of the most common Bible verses on thankfulness are 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 and Philippians 4:6 –

“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.”

In our current world, there are many reasons to be ungrateful, many things that we could complain about, and several that cause worry and sleepless nights. But when the Spirit of God is in us, we will have a heart that notices the blessings, even amid the burdens of life.

This past week, I was blessed to see this kind of attitude in action from a pastor in Nigeria with whom we partner at Turning Point Ministries. It’s been in the news recently that Christians in Nigeria are facing immense persecution for their faith. Still, the pastor of this church sent us a video he made for his church and the outlying community, encouraging them to increase their evangelist outreach as they enter the Christmas season. He was so excited not just about their upcoming Christmas events but about being able to share the Gospel amid all the recent deaths and continuing threats.

It’s a tough question, but would you be that joyful amid threats and persecution?

We are blessed to live in a country where religious persecution is rare, but so are attitudes of thanksgiving and gratitude. This Thanksgiving let’s aim to be as filled with the Spirit as that pastor is right now, and cultivate a lifestyle that is consistently filled with the Spirit.

When we put our complete trust in God, the Holy Spirit will fill us, enabling us to see the blessings that abound even amid the chaos. Just as our friend, the Nigerian pastor, who is overflowing with joy amid persecution. On this Thanksgiving Day, may we thank the Lord for His presence in our lives, that we can trust Him in all things, and that if we ask, He will cultivate an attitude of gratitude in our lives.

Join me in this prayer of gratitude on this day set aside for giving thanks.

PRAYER OF GRATITUDE

“Heavenly Father, as the Psalmist wrote, ‘It is good to give thanks to the Lord, to sing praises to your name, O Most High; to declare your steadfast love in the morning and your faithfulness by night.”

We know that you will give us gratitude if we ask, but we also know it is a choice, may we choose daily to be grateful. May we start being thankful like never before.

Fill us with your Holy Spirit, fill us with Spirit-filled gratitude for everything and in everything that we might be a good representative of the gracious, wonderful Father who loves us and gave His Son for us.

Thank you for the daily blessings you bestow upon us, for the blessing of Your indwelling Spirit, and for eternity with You.

Thank you for the grace you have given us. May we live with an attitude of gratitude and daily follow You. Help us to remember, amid conflicts great and small, to count our blessings and know that you are God over all.

We stand in awe of Your blessings, firmly grounded in gratitude for the ways You care for us. Your compassions never fail, they are new every morning!’

AMEN

Happy Thanksgiving!

Turning Point with David Jeremiah announces the premiere of a special heaven themed concert event

(San Diego, CA) –

Turning Point with David Jeremiah is excited to announce the release of a special concert experience designed to accompany Dr. Jeremiah’s newest book and teaching series: The Promise of Heaven.

A spectacular concert event, A Glimpse of Heaven, was filmed at the famed Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles and combines a variety of music with the power of God’s Word to bring together a moving celebration and a fresh perspective on the promises of eternity.

Structured into six segments that each explore a different aspect of heaven, the concert moves the audience from imagining to longing to picturing heaven before taking them on a journey to experiencing the worship, peace, and promises of heaven. Blending both secular and Christian songs and accompanied by a full orchestra and professional choir, 10 guest artists share their musical mastery as David Jeremiah and Sheila Walsh guide the audience through the themes of heaven.

In a world filled with challenges, the concert aims to shift the audience’s focus to the hope of heaven and encourages them to pause and consider the promises of eternity. The concert provides a sense of hope that many people desperately need.

“I’ve never spent two hours like this in my life,” said David Jeremiah, founder and host of Turning Point with David Jeremiah. “Programs like this reach a wide range of audiences and are gateways to reach people that would not normally watch Turning Point. We are going to reach millions through our outreach with this series, and we want to produce programs at the highest caliber across all platforms. Success for us is about reaching people for Christ,” added president and CEO, David Michael Jeremiah.

Experience a glimpse of heaven through the power of music!

Dr. David Jeremiah Issues Statement on the Passing of Charlie Kirk, Founder of Turning Point USA

(San Diego, CA) Dr. David Jeremiah is praying for the young family of Charlie Kirk, whose passing leaves behind a wife and two small children.

“Charlie Kirk was a man made in God’s image and his death is tragic. I am praying for his family and friends. May God’s comfort, grace, and peace sustain Charlie’s family at this time,” said Dr. Jeremiah.

His organization has undoubtedly made an impact on the American political landscape. While people may agree or disagree with those views, as followers of Christ we are called to be peacemakers. Violence and actions that bring harm to others stand in direct contrast to God’s commandments. In moments like these let’s stand together in prayer, with grace and mercy, reflecting His love.

Please join me in praying for Charlie’s family and friends, as well as the extended family of Turning Point USA.

Dr. David Jeremiah Issues Statement on Shooting during Mass at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis

(San Diego, CA) The incidents of violence and mass shootings never get easier, and sadly they seem more frequent. As a father, grandfather, pastor and president of Christian Unified Schools the tragedy that is unfolding in Minneapolis today hits close to home. Schools should be a haven for learning, growth and enjoyment. Parents and children should not live in fear of going to school. While that fear is tragic enough, to have the solemn moments of mass shattered by violence and end in death and destruction is an indescribable heartbreak.

While I do not personally know the leadership at Annunciation Catholic School, as a pastor and a fellow school president my prayers are with the leaders and families of the entire student body at this time. I also want to extend heartfelt prayers to the families of the two children who lost their lives today. There are no human words that can negate the pain, but we can take solace in knowing that our Heavenly Father will not forget these children and in fact calls them to Himself saying “Let the little children come to me…for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these” (Luke 18:16, NIV). May this knowledge bring an element of peace to the families as they navigate the days and weeks ahead.

To those who were injured and to the surrounding communities, our hearts and prayers are with you during this difficult time, and we petition the Lord on your behalf for healing and comfort.

Heavenly Father,

You have promised us that a day is coming when You will wipe away every tear and there shall be no more death, nor sorrow nor crying. That day is not yet and today is filled with tears, but I hold fast to Your promise because You keep Your Word.

Lord, I ask that You be near to the families experiencing unimaginable heartache right now. May You walk with them through this valley, comfort them as only You can and hold them in Your righteous hands.

In the days ahead may Your perfect peace surround them and may the knowledge that nothing can separate Your children from You strengthen their faith and lessen any fears or anxiety.

Lord, watch over us all as a Good Shepherd watches over His flock, and may we all find our ultimate safety and security in You.

We pray this in His name,

Amen.

Dr. David Jeremiah Issues Statement on the Passing Dr. James Dobson

(San Diego, CA) Few organizations have impacted the faith and family culture of America as much as Dr. James Dobson’s Focus on the Family. A long-time friend, James dedicated his life to campaigning for biblical values and the centrality of family in our lives.

I met James in the mid-seventies while pastoring at Blackhawk Baptist Church in Indiana, and he was the kind of friend that even if we had not seen each other in a while, we could pick up right where we left off. He was a friend, husband, father, psychologist, author, broadcaster, and cultural advisor to multiple Presidents. His life was spent in service to others, always working to make the world a better place. He leaves an immense legacy and the organizations he founded, Focus on the Family and the Dr. James Dobson Family Institute, will continue to have an impact for generations to come.

While we mourn the passing of James, we can stand firm in the knowledge that the psalmist tells us, “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints” (Psalm 116:15). James is now with our Lord and Savior, and we have the promise of seeing him again. May this promise sustain the Dobson family and friends in the day and weeks ahead.

Please join me in praying for the Dobson family and friends, as well as the extended families of the Dr. James Dobson Family Institute and Focus on the Family.

Dr. David Jeremiah Issues Statement on the Passing of John MacArthur

(San Diego, CA) Another giant of the faith has gone home to be with the Lord. My friend and fellow pastor John MacArthur, who dedicated his life to biblical exposition, is now in the presence of our Lord and Savior.

John exemplified dedication and tenacity throughout his 60+ years of ministry, including 56 years as pastor of Grace Community Church, 48 years in managing his Grace to You broadcast programming, and his years serving at The Master’s University and The Master’s Seminary. He lived a life of unwavering devotion to Christ, and his years of service in the ministry will undoubtedly leave a legacy.

While we mourn the loss of our friend and colleague in the faith, we stand on God's promise that “to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord,” and we rejoice in this knowledge, praying it brings comfort to his family, friends, and congregation.

Please join me in praying for the MacArthur family, Grace Community Church, The Master’s University, The Master’s Seminary, and all their extended family and friends as they grieve and navigate the days ahead.

May the Lord heal the brokenhearted, comfort them in their affliction, and may the knowledge that He is with them and that John's hope is now a reality turn their mourning into joy.

Building a Foundation for a New Generation

(San Diego, CA) David Jeremiah is launching a widescale initiative to deliver the unchanging Word of God the next generation using the same trusted Bible Strong teaching and content that he has been delivering to adults for 40+ years.

One of the most often cited requests Dr. Jeremiah receives is “please pray for my children and/or grandchildren.” As his ministry, Turning Point for God, has grown, he has answered this call by investing in resources geared toward children and young adults with the creation of Airship Genesis and PASSAGES.

This summer Turning Point is launching Bible Strong Kids, an endeavor to create the next generation of Bible Strong Kids—children who know their worth in God’s eyes and are equipped to shine His light in an increasingly dark world. Bible Strong Kids will encapsulate the following –

• A Daily Devotion
• Dr. Jeremiah’s ever-popular daily devotional comes in a new version specially tailor for kids, paving the way for families to strengthen their walk with the Lord as they study the same passages of Scripture together.
• Audio Adventures
• Airship Genesis
• The Barnyard Bunch
• COMING Soon When the Stars Align
• Pathway to Jesus Mobile Game
• Bible Strong Kids Bookstore

The stories, songs, and lessons children encounter today become the truths and values they'll remember tomorrow when facing life's trials. Every Bible story shared, every prayer taught, and every moment spent in faith-centered learning builds an unshakeable foundation of character that will last a lifetime.

“By investing in building Bible-strong Christian content that speaks the language and captures the imagination of children, we're not just entertaining them; we're planting seeds of faith that will bloom throughout their lifetime,” said David Michael Jeremiah, President and CEO of Turning Point ministries.

Dr. Jeremiah added, “In today’s world, our children face challenges and influences that can pull them away from the values we hold dear. The foundation we establish in the young ones in our lives becomes their anchor—a source of strength, wisdom, and hope that will guide their decisions and shape their character for years to come.”

Let the kids in your life experience the adventure of knowing and growing with God every day! Learn more by visiting Dr. Jeremiah’s new Bible Strong Kids website today.

Dr. David Jeremiah Issues Statement on Devastating Floods in Texas

(San Diego, CA) Almost a week after the devastating flash floods hit Texas on Independence Day, there are more than a hundred lost individuals and more than 150 still missing. As we learn more about the lives lost and the heroics of those amid the storm, our hearts break. Every natural disaster is upsetting and pulls at our heartstrings, but when children are at the center of the stories, it takes on a different tone.

Unless we have experienced a similar loss, we cannot begin to fathom what the families, friends, and communities in Texas are feeling, but we can sympathize, support, and pray with and for them during the days and weeks to come.

As a pastor, one of the hardest things is to comfort a parent who has lost their child. In this moment, I want to share a special message to all those mourning the loss of children from this flood –

The death of a child is one of the world’s greatest sorrows, and the pain is intense, but in that pain, I praise the Lord because, through the tears, there’s a sunbeam of hope. Scripture gives us reasons to trust that children are not lost forever. Instead, they are given the gift of bypassing the sorrows of this world and are instantly transported to heaven, where we’ll meet them and enjoy their fellowship throughout eternity.

In the Gospels, when Jesus is asked to raise a synagogue leader’s young daughter from the dead, He responds, “She is not dead, but sleeping.” These words are not just spoken to the girl’s family but to every mom or dad or grandparent who has ever lost a little one. You will see them again.

Our few moments on earth are nothing compared to our eternal fellowship with those we love on the new earth. The Lord knew this flood was coming. His presence was with every child and believer in its midst, and His presence is with you now and in the difficult days that lie ahead.

As the news continues to unfold on this tragedy and clean up eventually begins, may we as a nation take a moment to pray for all those impacted –

Heavenly Father,

Before Your ascension, You told us, “Surely I am with you always,” so I pray that the knowledge of Your presence would be known and felt by all those experiencing grief and loss across Texas.

May Your Spirit prevail and may the sorrows of today be turned into joy and peace in the future as Your comfort surrounds the broken-hearted.

We know that many children are now in Your loving arms. While the pain this side of heaven is indescribable, we know that You love these children and called them, saying, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.”

As King David found hope, comfort, and cheer in the assurance that his baby had gone to heaven and they would be reunited one day, may those same feelings envelop all those who have lost a loved one.

May we, as neighbors, not only lift our brothers and sisters up in prayer, but may we also be Your hands and feet to so many in need in the days ahead.

I ask that You keep this region in your loving care. Provide wisdom to the leaders of the state, cities, counties, and organizations leading the recovery efforts.

And as the days pass, may our sorrow turn to joy as we point our hearts and minds upward to heaven and ponder the coming reunions.

We pray this in Jesus’ name,

Amen.

Dr. David Jeremiah Releases His First Fiction Novel with An Apocalyptic Thriller

(San Diego, CA) What happens when biblical prophecy unfolds before your very eyes?

In the gripping new novel, Vanished, by New York Times bestseller author and founder of Turning Point Ministries, David Jeremiah, and writer Sam O’Neal, readers are ensconced in a world unraveling at the seams.

Blending elements of biblical prophecy with human drama, mystery, apocalyptic high stakes, and suspense this exhilarating story explores the world of the end. Set in the time period leading up the Rapture, Vanished, follows protagonist John “Haggs” Haggerty as he navigates life as a military leader and father in a world plagued by crisis. Readers are along for the ride as one catastrophe after another—pandemics, earthquakes, famines, wars, personal catastrophes—occurs and choices with potentially terrifying consequences have to be made.

Bible prophecy meets page-turning fiction with chilling realism and an unforgettable cast of characters in Dr. Jeremiah’s first fiction novel.

Part one of a three-part series, Vanished delivers gripping suspense with a pulse-pounding storytelling all rooted in the biblical truth of Scripture. The book provides an apocalyptic thriller with an inspirational storyline. And its cliffhanger ending will leave readers begging for more.

“In this season of unpredictability, we believe this book will resonate deeply with audiences around the world. The Bible has laid out a clear presentation of what’s to come, and we wanted to show through “Haggs” that prophecy and biblical truth are not divorced from the reality of daily life,” said Dr. Jeremiah.

“In addition, we made this book fiction because I read an article recently that jolted me to the core. It said that 46% of Christians who read books read only fiction. We need to reach those individuals, and we pray this book is a gateway to that audience.”

The second book of the trilogy is set during the first half of the Tribulation and is tied to Israel. The third book is set during the last half of the Tribulation and includes the Battle of Armageddon as prophesied in the biblical book of Revelation. Release dates have not been finalized.

Dr. David Jeremiah Issues Statement on the Passing of Kay Arthur

(San Diego, CA) My dear friend Kay Arthur dedicated her life to the service of others and the Lord. She modeled grace and a life guided by faith in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. A wife, mother, nurse, author, broadcaster, and Bible teacher, she devoted herself to sharing the Gospel with everyone she encountered. Precept Ministries, started by Kay and her husband Jack in 1970, stands as a testament and legacy to their shared vision of living out the Great Commission.

When human words fall short, God's promises still stand. May the words spoken through the prophets speak to the Arthur family today and in the coming days. For we know that "the Lord is near to the brokenhearted."

Please join me in praying for the Arthur family as they navigate the days ahead. May the knowledge that "to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord" comfort them in their sadness.

Turning Point with David Jeremiah Unveils Prophecy Explained a Groundbreaking New Website Dedicated to Biblical Prophecy

This March, David Jeremiah’s Turning Point Ministries is thrilled to announce the launch of Prophecy Explained, a revolutionary new website dedicated solely to the fascinating and often-misunderstood topic of biblical prophecy.

For more than 40 years, Dr. David Jeremiah has explored countless biblical themes, but few have captured the curiosity and urgency of audiences quite like prophecy. “It is one of my favorite topics to study and preach,” says Dr. Jeremiah. “When asked why study prophecy, my answer is for every prophecy about the birth of Christ, there are eight about His Second Coming, and there is a reward for studying prophecy.” (More on that reward is answered on the new site!)

Prophecy Explained is a one-of-a-kind digital hub, carefully curated with sermon clips, television interviews, book excerpts, blog posts, articles, and answers to the most pressing prophecy questions. Designed to feel like a masterclass, the site brings Dr. Jeremiah’s decades of insight into an easy-to-navigate format that allows visitors to explore, learn, and engage with these critical biblical teachings.

What’s Inside?

Some of the compelling topics explored on the site include:

• The Rapture – What will happen when Christ returns for Christians?
• The Tribulation – What does the Bible reveal about this tumultuous period?
• The Millennium – What will Christ’s 1,000-year reign look like?
• Heaven – What awaits believers in eternity?

But that’s not all—Prophecy Explained introduces an exciting new feature from Turning Point called SmartSearch. With this cutting-edge tool, users can submit a question and instantly receive an answer curated directly from Dr. Jeremiah’s vast library of Bible Strong teaching. SmartSearch doesn’t just find related content—it pinpoints the exact moment in Dr. Jeremiah’s message where that specific question is addressed and takes the user directly to that precise moment in the teaching. With both a text-based response and a video clip of the answer in action, users can read or watch Dr. Jeremiah’s answer immediately.

“There is so much to the topic of prophecy, and we wanted to create a space that could answer questions, quell fears, inspire faith, build hope, and ultimately lead more individuals to faith in Jesus Christ,” said Mishell Cook, Digital Content Manager for Turning Point.

The excitement doesn’t stop here—ProphecyExplained.org officially launches on March 31, kicking off a year-long exploration of prophecy that will culminate in Dr. Jeremiah’s highly anticipated new book and teaching series on heaven this fall.

Get ready to dive deeper, gain clarity, and find hope in the promises of Scripture.

Dr. David Jeremiah Issues Statement on Recent Plane Crashes

(San Diego, CA) This past week, our nation has faced two great tragedies back-to-back, with the collision of American Airlines flight 5342 and a military helicopter in Washington, DC, followed by the crash of a medivac plane in Philadelphia. At moments like this, our comfort can only come from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. But that does not mean we shouldn’t rally around our brothers and sisters experiencing fear and heartache. Paul reminds us in 2 Corinthians that God comforts us “so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves received.”

We have seen this kind of behavior the last few days as first responders and neighbors have jumped into action. Whether you personally know someone affected by these tragedies or you’ve just been touched by the news, let us all pray together for peace, answers, and a lack of fear.

Join me as we petition our heavenly Father:

Heavenly Father,

You are the great comforter and our source of strength.

I pray now that You would comfort the families and friends of those lost in these tragic accidents. May your peace be upon them in the hours, days, and weeks ahead. n.

I ask You to keep the first responders and the witnesses in your loving care. Provide wisdom to the community leaders and organizations handling the investigation and clean-up.

May Your peace fill those anxious and afraid and may we as neighbors not only lift our brothers and sisters up in prayer but also be Your hands and feet for those in need.

May Your Spirit prevail, and may sorrow be turned into joy, for we know that in You, there truly is joy beyond the pain.

We pray this in Jesus’ Name,

Amen.

Dr. David Jeremiah Issues Statement on Destruction from Fires Raging in LA

(San Diego, CA) As fires continue to pop up in the path of hurricane-force winds, our hearts break for all those whose lives have been upended by this disaster. From Palisades to Pasadena, thousands of people have been forced evacuate and have lost homes, businesses, and community centers. As our first responders continue to work to protect lives and property, may we as a nation pause to pray for our neighbors.

Heavenly Father,

The psalmist tells us that “weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.”

So I pray that night will end and morning will soon dawn on all the towns impacted by the fires in Southern California.

I ask You to keep this region in Your loving care. Provide wisdom to the leaders of the state, cities, counties, and organizations leading the response to this disaster. Comfort those who have lost so much, and may Your peace fill those who are anxious and afraid.

May we as neighbors not only lift our brothers and sisters up in prayer, but also be Your hands and feet to so many in need in the days ahead.

May Your Spirit prevail, and may sorrow be turned into joy. For we know that in You there truly is joy beyond the pain.

We pray this in Jesus’ Name, Amen.

The wreckage left in the wake of these fires will be immense. To all in the communities impacted, we are praying for you and your families. To our business partners in the area, we are here for you in the days ahead. It will take time, but there will be joy beyond this pain. “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble” (2 Corinthians 1:3-4).

Dr. David Jeremiah Issues Statement on the Terror Act in New Orleans

(San Diego, CA) Every act of violence is a tragedy and can strike fears for safety. How devasting that on a day typically filled with joy and excitement for new hopes and plans, many are facing devastation and heartbreak. Our hearts break for the family and friends of the innocent lives lost and for those who were injured in this senseless attack.

At moments like this, where words fail, our prayers don't. This tragedy reminds us of the critical importance of placing our trust in Christ and praying for peace and God's protection for all Americans. Proverbs tells us, "Do not be afraid of sudden terror, nor of trouble from the wicked when it comes; for the Lord will be your confidence." We don't know what drove the person responsible to take such actions, and we may never know, but we know that the Lord is with us in all circumstances, including this one.

Today and in the coming days, I ask that you join me in petitioning the Lord on behalf of our brothers and sisters in New Orleans, our leader and law enforcement officers who are responding to this attack, and all Americans as we navigate the fear of the unknown.

Heavenly Father,

The psalmist tells us you "are near to the brokenhearted."

So, I pray for peace for the community of New Orleans and all those immediately impacted by this act of violence and terror.

I ask you to keep them in Your loving care. Watch over them as a Good Shepherd watches over His flock, and may we all find ultimate safety and security in You.

Please guide our leaders and law enforcement officers, giving them your wisdom as they seek justice for the victims and safety for all Americans.

May we remember that even though fear may come, You are our confidence, and we need not remain in fear, for You have overcome the World.

We pray this in Your name,

Amen.

Dr. David Jeremiah Issues Statement on Destruction from Hurricane Helene

(San Diego, CA) A week after Hurricane Helene made landfall, we are learning more about the devastation this storm caused over a large portion of the Southeast, and our hearts break for all those whose lives have been upended by this disaster.

From Florida to North Carolina thousands of people have lost loved ones, homes, businesses, and entire communities. Not since Hurricane Katrina have we seen a storm produce so much devastation. As the death toll rises and the full scale of the physical damage comes to light, may we as a nation pause to pray for our neighbors.

The wreckage left in the wake of this storm is immense, and words can’t completely express the heartache experienced by those in its path or the sympathy from those of us watching it unfold. But where words fail, the Lord provides. The psalmist says that “weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning” (Psalm 30:5). It will take time, but there will be joy beyond this pain. I believe that the Lord knew this storm was coming, His presence was with His people in the storm, His presence is with them now, and He will continue to be with them in the difficult days that lie ahead.

Heavenly Father,

The psalmist tells us that “weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.”

So I pray that the night will end and morning will soon dawn on all the towns impacted by Helene across the Southeast.

I ask you to keep this region in Your loving care. Provide wisdom to the leaders of each state, city, and organization leading the recovery efforts. Comfort those who have lost loved ones and bring peace to those filled with anxiety and fear.

May we as neighbors not only lift our brothers and sisters up in prayer, but may we also be Your hands and feet to so many in need in the days ahead.

May Your Spirit prevail and may sorrow be turned into joy. For we know that in You there truly is joy beyond the pain.

We pray this in Jesus’ name,

Amen.

Dr. David Jeremiah Issues Statement on Tragic Passing of Members of the Gospel group The Nelons

(San Diego, CA) Dr. Jeremiah sends his deepest condolences to the Nelon family and the families of all seven individuals who lost their lives in the tragic plane crash Friday.

The Nelons have long been a staple in the gospel music industry, and this loss will be felt by many. Their incredible talent was used to spread the gospel and share the love of our Lord.

We send our deepest sympathy to all those impacted by this great loss and our prayers are with the families during this difficult time. May the peace and comfort of Christ carry them through the days ahead.

Dr. David Jeremiah Issues Statement on the Shooting at the Trump Rally in Pennsylvania

(San Diego, CA) Our hearts break for the family and friends of the innocent life that was lost today and for those who were injured in the shooting at former President Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania. At moments like this, where words fail, our prayers don’t. This tragedy reminds us of the critical importance of praying for our nation, particularly the current presidential election.

Please join me in praying for former President Trump and all those impacted by this heinous act. May the Lord’s peace and comfort surround them all, and may we be ever vigilant in praying for peace and God’s will and protection for America.

Dr. David Jeremiah, founder and host of Turning Point with David Jeremiah, issues statement on the endurance of American Independence

SAN DIEGO, CA—Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.

Over 200 years ago Thomas Jefferson penned the Declaration of Independence and declared to the world, along with 55 other men, that “all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, among those are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”

Those words have echoed through time as generations of men and women have carried on the fight for freedom to endure both here and abroad. America has long stood as a beacon of freedom and hope around the world, welcoming thousands to our shores who are looking for a brighter tomorrow.

As we gather with family and friends this weekend for picnics, barbeques, parades, and fireworks, let’s not forget the sacrifices that have been made and the responsibilities that lie ahead for American Independence.

Every generation has faced the question “Will this nation endure?” and we face it again now. I believe it will. And I believe America has great days ahead, but we must do our part. Elmer Davis is quoted as saying, “This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave.”

As a Christian my bravery comes from my faith in Christ. Regardless of what circumstances I find myself, God is in control. He is working in the circumstances around me and through me. He is not surprised; therefore, I can bravely stand. The Bible tells us, “Be strong and of good courage, and do it; do not fear nor be dismayed, for the Lord God…will be with you” (1 Chronicles 28:20). It also tells us that “God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind” (2 Timothy 1:7).

With this in mind, I want to echo a famous question from our 35th President, John F. Kennedy: “Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.”

America is a blessed nation, and I believe God has blessed America because of the men and women who built and have sustained this nation with reverence to our Creator, shared responsibility, and continued prayer. Service comes in many forms, and I want to encourage you to think about your role in this great republic, but one thing all of us can do, and we can start right now, is to pray for this great nation.

Please join me now in lifting up, in one united voice, a prayer for our nation to the One true God under whose Providence this nation was born.

Almighty God,

In all history, there has been only one nation like America—
founded by pilgrims seeking freedom to worship, established on
a vast continent between two oceans, dedicated to the
proposition that we are created equal and endowed by our
Creator with certain unalienable rights: One nation under God.

You have delivered us in war, prospered us in peace, and raised
up generations willing to offer the last full measure of their
devotion for the preservation of liberty at home and abroad.

We have been a light for the world.
From our shores has gone the greatest missionary force in history.

But now, Lord, America has fallen into darkness, disobedience,
and indifference.

We have sinned; and we, Your people, Lord, humble ourselves,
and pray and seek Your face, and turn from our wicked ways.
Please forgive our sin and heal our land.

Give us leaders who understand the times and know what we
should do. May the torch of liberty burn brightly, inflamed by the goodness of Your people.

God, bless America.

In Jesus’ Name.

Amen.

A greedy friend

An angry mob

An appeasing ruler

A repentant thief

An obedient Son

A world in need

A tomb empty

When people think of Easter, the things listed above are probably not the first things that come to mind, but each element existed on the first Easter. They all played an essential role on a day in history that changed the world for eternity.

Thousands of years later, though the circumstance may be different, each of these things still exists. Somewhere a greedy friend exists, an angry mob is taking to the streets, a ruler is handing out judgement only to appease, a criminal is repentant of his crime, and the world is still in need.

The good news?

The tomb is still empty, and the obedient Son is on the throne. Easter may not be the most celebrated holiday in the world, but its significance can’t be overstated.

It’s a day marked by a life given so others could live. A Resurrection so that death could no longer hold power. A message of forgiveness, salvation, and reconciliation shared so the whole world could know.

Without Easter, the Gospel message is incomplete.

The singularity of the Good News is Christ’s death and Resurrection. In 1 Corinthians 15:17, Paul says, “If Christ is not risen, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins!” Without the Resurrection, there is no Good News, and without the Good News, we have no hope.

But thank the Lord for Easter! We have hope because He is risen!

Easter is the Good News of the Gospel—Christ came, He dwelt among us, He died in our place, He rose from the dead, and He is coming again.

We have hope! We are not lost in our sins and separated forever from our Creator. Because of Easter, we live, and we can live a life of abundance—not abundance in material things but in eternal things. Through Christ, we can live a life free from the fear of death, a life steeped in everlasting hope and abundant joy.

Easter was first; it was foremost; it is the basic bedrock truth of the Gospel.

That is Good News worth sharing and celebrating.

May the good news fill you with hope and unexpected blessings as you celebrate the Resurrection of our Savior today and every day.

Happy Easter!

David Jeremiah Presented with Two Awards by the National Religious Broadcasters Association

San Diego, CA--Last week, Dr. David Jeremiah, the founder and host of Turning Point with Dr. Jeremiah, was awarded a Milestone award and a digital media award at the National Religious Broadcasters Association Annual Convention. The awards were presented at two different gatherings during the 2024 Convention held in Nashville, TN, where broadcasters and Christian communicators gathered from around the world for a four-day conference.

On Tuesday, NRB held their annual Media Awards Luncheon where Dr. Jeremiah’s Why The Nativity? won the Best Digital Campaign Award. The Best Digital Campaign Award is presented to an organization engaging people through a digital campaign initiative, and nominees must demonstrate how they used multichannel online measures to reach measurable organizational and campaign goals. At the end of the original Why The Nativity? campaign, Turning Point had accumulated:

• 140 Television Broadcasts
• 17 Million YouTube Views
• 150,300 Spanish Streams
• 4,280 Church Outreach Kits Requested
• 6 Different Countries Reached with a Church Kit
• 103,655 New People Reached out to Turning Point

On Friday night at the Closing Gala, Dr. Jeremiah was awarded the Milestone Award for his commitment and excellence in Christian broadcasting. The Milestone Award is presented to an individual or organization that maintains longevity and exemplary service in Christian broadcasting for 50 years- or more. NRB desires to honor the industry pioneers who brought Christian communications to the place of respect and achievement it enjoys today. In accepting this honor, Dr. Jeremiah said,

“Almighty God married my love of the Bible and radio over 50 years ago, and we could not have possibly envisioned where that would lead. Daily radio and television can be unforgiving, and there are no days off, but what wonderful experiences we’ve had along the way. With God’s help and guidance, we take it one day at a time, trying to do everything better than the day before. I see all that God has done and continues to do, and I am so grateful. How blessed we are to be in this wonderful ministry.”

NRB is a nonpartisan, international association of Christian communicators whose member organizations represent millions of listeners, viewers, and readers. The NRB Convention is the world’s the largest gathering of Christian communicators and is an excellent opportunity to network, learn, and reach new audiences across the broadcast and publishing industries.

San Diego, CA--On Tuesday, February 20, David Michael Jeremiah, President of Turning Point with Dr. Jeremiah, was elected to the Board of Directors for the National Religious Broadcasters Association. The annual meeting was held during NRB’s 2024 Convention in Nashville, TN, where broadcasters and Christian communicators from around the world gathered for the four-day conference.

NRB’s Board of Directors is elected by its voting members to govern the organization’s direction at large and oversee the eight standing committees representing the various interests of NRB members. While addressing the voting body, current NRB President Troy Miller noted that the association is in its eightieth year and still going strong: growing in membership, remaining financially stable, and looking ahead toward the future of broadcasting. This new slate of board members is stepping into a growing organization and will take NRB into an exciting future.

Jeremiah was nominated and elected on the first ballot at the annual meeting. Turning Point with Dr. David Jeremiah is one of the largest organizational members in the NRB association. In speaking about his election to the board, Jeremiah said:

“I'm looking forward to this leadership role and helping direct NRB into the next level of growth. Turning Point has been a member for many years, and I’m excited about what our membership experience can bring to the board. NRB has done a great deal in its 80 years, but there is more to be done, and I’m eager to work with my fellow board members and grow the organization to new and exciting levels.”

Prayers for Lakewood Church

San Diego, CA--Every shooting incident is a tragedy, and with each one, fears for safety in places once safe grow stronger. How devasting that a place where we go to find hope becomes a place of calamity and heartbreak yesterday. Joel Osteen is a friend and brother in the ministry, and our prayers are with him and his entire congregation at this time. I also want to extend prayers to the families of the two individuals critically injured in the shooting and to those who witnessed the incident. We don't know what drove the person responsible to take such actions, and we may never know, but what we do know is that the Lord is with us in all circumstances, including this one.

At moments like this, where human words fall short, I rely on the words that have stood the test of time. May the promises that God spoke through King David and the Apostle Paul speak to all of us today—"The Lord is near to the brokenhearted…He comforts us all in our affliction."

Today and in the coming days, I ask that you join me in petitioning the Lord on behalf of our brothers and sisters at Lakewood Church and the greater Houston Community.

A Prayer for Lakewood

Heavenly Father,

The psalmist tells us you "are near to the brokenhearted."
So I pray for peace for the community of Lakewood Church and the city of Houston.

So I ask you to keep them in Your loving care. Watch over them as a Good Shepherd watches
over His flock, and may they find their ultimate safety and security in You.

As You watch over Your people and comfort them during this time, may they, in turn, be able to
comfort others in Your name—the One who died for them—until they see Him face to face.

We pray this in His name,
Amen.

David Jeremiah Partnering with Latin America to Deliver the Gospel

SAN DIEGO, Feb. 10, 2024—“Let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season, we shall reap if we do not lose heart.” This verse from the New Testament book of Galatians has been one of the guiding principles for the growth of David Jeremiah’s broadcast ministry, Turning Point with David Jeremiah. In January of 2001, Jeremiah took the first step in translating his radio broadcast into a foreign language. Knowing that Spanish is the second-most-spoken language in North America and being headquartered in Southern California, he seized an opportunity to start broadcasting in Spanish and officially launched the Momento Decisivo radio program.

Over the past twenty years, Momento Decisivo has experienced remarkable growth, providing Bible Strong content across multiple channels and through a variety of resources. Last September, the Momento Decisivo television program celebrated its first full year of nationwide and local airings on stations across the US and Latin America. Today, Momento Decisivo reaches 42 million Spanish speakers in the US and 12 million bilingual speakers around the globe through radio, television, print, and digital resources.

Turning Point is actively delivering the unchanging Word of God to an ever-changing world through strategic partnerships in the US and Latin America with radio and television stations, churches, parachurch organizations, and local communities. Currently, Momento Decisivo programming reaches 359 stations across 20 countries. These partnerships have enabled the Gospel’s transformative power to be shared with Spanish-speaking audiences worldwide.

“Jesus gave us a global task, and no matter how large our global task is, it all starts at home. All of this started with a calling God place in my heart, and now when you have great team working on it, the efforts are multiplied, and it takes off into so many directions and expands,” said Jeremiah.

Yessenia Jimenez, the manager of Momento Decisivo added, “Latin America is a region with deep and diverse spiritual landscape, a place where faith and culture intertwine, and solid biblical teaching is more crucial than ever. On a recent trip I was struck by the pressing needs of the community and experienced first-hand the urgency of providing solid biblical teaching through the local churches and universities. Momento Decisivo aims to help address this need by offering relevant, inspiring, and transformative content.”

By working with our Latin American partners, Momento Decisivo can provide resources to stations, churches, universities, and parachurch organizations that help them spread the message of faith, hope, and everlasting love in ways that meet the unique needs of their community and region. As Turning Point continues leveraging cutting-edge technology to enhance the quality and accessibility of its broadcasts and digital resources, Momento Decisivo is no exception. Spanish-language broadcasts and digital content are constantly being advanced via streaming services, mobile applications, and interactive platforms, allowing audiences to engage with the ministry’s content in various ways.

The partnership extends beyond traditional broadcasting and digital content with collaborative efforts to develop additional resources to support spiritual growth and discipleship. This past Christmas, Turning Point’s feature-length docu-drama ¿Por Qué la Natividad? was re-released with a promotional campaign that encouraged watch parties and included church kits to study the Nativity story further, and participation was amazing. Here is a glimpse of how the ¿Por Que la Natividad? campaign performed between Thanksgiving and Christmas-:

• 152K views of ¿Por Qué La Natividad? on YouTube
• 6,514 views of ¿Por Qué La Natividad? on the official Spanish landing page
• 2,309 subscriptions to ¿Por Qué La Natividad? devotional plan on YouVersion
• 175 Spanish church kit downloads
• 72 Church hosted watch parties with a potential audience of 223,840
• 35 Television broadcasts with 3 new stations for 2023:
• Canal 27 in Guatemala
• Asociación Cultural Cristo Visión in Costa Rica
• Emmanuel TV in México

But it’s not about the numbers; it’s about transforming lives. Each of these numbers symbolizes a life, and while we may never know the full impact, we are blessed to hear stories from our partners, like Edificadores del Reino, who held a special showing of ¿Por Que la Natividad? in December where 47 children came to know Christ.

With Momento Decisivo, Turning Point and its Latin American partners are committed to providing content and resources that empower individuals to deepen their understanding of the Christian faith and live Bible Strong lives.

As Turning Point continues to expand its reach and impact, the organization remains dedicated to its mission of delivering the unchanging Word of God to an everchanging world. Through the power of radio, television, and digital outreach the ministry aims to bring the Gospel to all the hearts and homes of individuals and families across Latin America and the Spanish-speaking world.

A surprised but obedient teenage girl.
Lowly shepherds.
A beautiful angel chorus.
A brilliant star in the sky.
Royalty from distant lands
A lowly stable...the birthplace of a King.

Today this list probably does not contain the first images that come to mind when you hear the word Christmas. However, all of them were incorporated into the events that played out that first Christmas more than 2,000 years ago. While the sights and sounds of Christmas have changed over the course of history, the meaning of this blessed season has not.

All the unexpected events, people, and places of the first Christmas were the backdrop for the most unexpected gift of all time: the unexpected and unconditional love of God that motivated the birth of Christ.

What a privilege it must have been to see the Son of God! These simple individuals launched the history-altering celebration of Christmas. They proved that joy can infect even the most unlikely of subjects and that Christmas is for everyone.

Imagine the shepherds gazing into the darkness, the Magi following a star to an unknown place, and Mary and Joseph birthing their first child alone. Then suddenly heaven pierced the darkness and reflected the glory of God. It was beyond their wildest dreams, and they were terrified. But the angel said: “Do not be afraid” (Luke 2:10).

Whatever your Christmas holds this year, do not be anxious. We have the same privilege the first Christmas participants enjoyed. We have a wonderful invitation to receive the love of the Lord, to be included in His family.

The shepherds didn’t return unaffected to their sheepfolds. Luke 2:17-18 says, “Now when they had seen Him, they made widely known the saying which was told them concerning this Child. And all those who heard it marveled at those things which were told them by the shepherds.”

This Christmas come with haste and discover Christ. When you do, you will be compelled to speak of what you’ve seen, heard, learned, and felt. That is how His message spreads, as we sing: “Joy to the world, the Lord has come!”

Christmas and joy are inseparable.

Luke 2 records the story of Christ’s entrance into the world, whether you’ve heard it a hundred times or this is your first invitation, join me in reading the Christmas story out of Luke 2. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord (verse 11).

David Jeremiah shares the true meaning of Christmas with millions around the world.

SAN DIEGO, Dec. 11, 2023—Christmas is a time to celebrate—family, friends, love, joy, hope. But for many this time of year brings anxiety, loneliness, high exceptions, a lack of joy, and questions about true “peace on earth, goodwill toward men” ever occurring. While it seems the world spins out of control at times and Christmas has become a materialistic celebration, there are purpose and hope at Christmas, and peace is coming.

Last Thanksgiving Turning Point Productions, a division of Turning Point Ministries with David Jeremiah, premiered its first feature length film—Why the Nativity? The message of “stable peace in an unstable world” reached 22 million online viewers and 8 million households through television outlets in both English and Spanish. This year the film is being released in four additional languages—Mandarin, Hindi, Arabic, and Telegu—with the potential to reach 2 billion more people. The message is resonating with a world that needs hope, and it is a message that will never grow old or diminish in significance.

For that reason, Dr. Jeremiah is not stopping with simply re-releasing Why the Nativity? or translating it into additional languages. “Everybody wants to celebrate Christmas because it brings hope; let’s give people ways to be celebrate that point them to the true hope of the world,” Dr. Jeremiah recently said to a crowd while speaking in New York City.

This holiday season Turning Point Ministries is releasing the following Christmas related programming and content—

Why the Nativity? has been the recipient of numerous awards and accolades since its premiere last year. Just last month it was awarded Production of the Year at the Annual San Diego Film Week Awards.

This Thanksgiving, let us pray with thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving is the opposite of discontent. It’s easy for us to become discontented and discouraged, to focus on the current situations in our world, nation, and even our own lives. But it is in these times when we most need to keep our prayers filled with thanksgiving.

When anxious about a problem, we can’t be thankful for the good things around us. Jesus is our ultimate example of giving thanks in all things. Throughout His ministry on earth, the Creator of all sustenance gave thanks for simple provisions.

Instead of being anxious this time of year—focusing only on the problems—be at peace. Look around and focus with thanksgiving on all of God’s good gifts.

Start by joining me in a prayer of gratitude on this day set aside specifically to give thanks.

PRAYER OF GRATITUDE

“Father, all I have comes from You. I know joy because of Your love. I know grace because of Your forgiveness. I know peace because of Your promises. I know hope because of Your imminent return. All I have, all I am, and all I’ve accomplished is because of You. Thank You for what You have done for me—what You continue to do in my life—what You are about to do for me! I stand in awe of Your blessings, firmly grounded in gratitude for the ways You care for me. I love You. Thank You!”

For the believer, the sheer act of counting our blessings not only grants us peace but also instills a profound sense of gratitude. What an awe-inspiring gift!

Happy Thanksgiving.

David Jeremiah’s The Great Disappearance and Perhaps Today campaign captures the attention of millions and sends videos viral

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 1, 2023—In October, Dr. David Jeremiah, founder and host of Turning Point broadcast ministry, launched his newest book and teaching series, The Great Disappearance. In less than a month, the book has climbed various best-selling charts and reached #4 on Amazon. To coincide with this launch, Dr. Jeremiah’s production company produced a series of pre-enactment videos aimed at grabbing viewers’ attention and curiosity through thought-provoking video clips depicting the moment of the Rapture. The pre-enactment videos have gone viral. They have garnered over 330 million views, been shared and re-shared, and fact-checked by the Associated Press, Politico, and AFP.

Dr. Jeremiah stated, “I couldn’t have fathomed what has transpired…this campaign has surpassed our wildest dreams.”

The purpose of the book and teaching was to bring clarity to an often mysterious and misunderstood topic. The goal for the campaign was simple—get people talking about the Rapture.

And it worked.

Through compelling short stories, millions visited the Perhaps Today website, which leveraged long-form video content, long-form written content, FAQs, and interactive quizzes to engage visitors further. The campaign fostered conversations and opened dialogue about the world we live in today and the future of humanity. In an increasingly post-Christian society, it was highly fascinating to see how the subject of the Rapture captivated millions. From interesting comments and conversations online to news outlets fact-checking stories and authors using the book to create their books, the success of The Great Disappearance is sending ripples through society.

Here is just a quick snapshot of the numbers:

• 5.9 million media plays of The Great Disappearance teaching series
• 330 million pre-enactment video views
• 2.5 million Perhaps Today page views
• 28,000 requests for Your Greatest Turning Point booklet
• #7 on the USA Today best-selling booklist
• #6 on The Wall Street Journal nonfiction list
• #1 religion nonfiction on BookScan

But as with any campaign, there has been some pushback. There have been those who have said the content is controversial, the videos are fearmongering, and the belief is false. It’s interesting to see the variety of responses, especially from individuals inside the Christian community. The reactions beg additional questions—

• Why has this topic elicited such responses?
• Why were Christians so thrown by seeing the videos?
• What in the content is controversial?
• What made the content so appealing that Politico and the Associated Press felt compelled to research it?

The Great Disappearance represents one of Turning Point’s greatest outreaches, and the journey is far from over! The Great Disappearance is ongoing with four broadcasts still to be aired, the viral videos still in circulation, and the website still live. Dr. Jeremiah is committed to “continuing to reach those yearning for faith and hope.”

San Diego, CA -- Turning Point Productions, a division of David Jeremiah’s Turning Point broadcast ministry, is thrilled to announce a special edition of PassagesTV. This special edition campaign promises to be bigger, dive deeper, and share more captivating stories than ever before.

A career-ending injury. A job in juvenile hall. Two miscarriages in one year. And disbelief in the God of the Bible. What do these all have in common? They’re snapshots, moments, and points on a timeline that catapulted real people toward discovering their God-given calling.

This is where it starts, but where does it go next?

The average person is estimated to spend 90,000 hours of their life at work. How can one be intentional with that time? How can one take that time and ensure they are not settling for anything less than God has called them to?

After three successful seasons of fast-paced travel adventures discovering new insights about God, their faith, and themselves, the PassagesTV team embarks on a new campaign and journey of discovery. This unique special edition of PassagesTV features people from various industries and backgrounds as they share their journey toward discovering and utilizing their God-given calling in everyday life. Viewers can anticipate episodes in this campaign that are filled with new stories, new places and faces, new questions, and new insights to help viewers discover the calling within their own lives.

“We’ve spent the last several months interviewing individuals from various industries, giftings, and seasons of life. Their stories have taught us what it takes to discover and utilize our God-given calling daily. My prayer is that these stories will help guide others wherever they find themselves on the journey to discovering their calling,” said David Todd Jeremiah, Host and Co-Creator of PassagesTV

The Discover Your Calling PassagesTV special campaign premieres on October 20th and can be viewed at Passages.TV or YouTube. Don’t miss this opportunity to be inspired and engaged in the great adventure of life as you immerse yourself in the stories of people’s pursuit of God while navigating their calling.

PassagesTV was created by a team of young adults at Turning Point. Hosted by Dr. Jeremiah’s grandson David Todd Jeremiah, PassagesTV creates innovative digital video content—for young adults, by young adults—to tackle some of the most pressing questions this generation faces today. This content can be found on the PassagesTV website, on YouTube, and on social media channels, including Facebook and Instagram.

San Diego, CA--Thousands of people go missing every day, and an average of 150 species have disappeared forever. Occasionally, these disappearances make the news, and millions take notice, but most of these disappearances impact only a handful of people. However, there is a day that has been predicted for thousands of years when a disappearance will occur that is so great the whole world will take notice.

This fall, Dr. David Jeremiah, founder and host of Turning Point broadcast ministry, is launching a new teaching series and book, The Great Disappearance. This series looks at the Rapture of the Church but is not a series of doom and gloom, scare tactics, or sensationalism by setting dates. It is one of hope and joy.

“While we talk about the Rapture, we often don’t know much about it. There is so much fascinating information. It’s the blessed hope, the great expectation, the promise of the Lord,” said Dr. Jeremiah.

As the campaign unfolds this October, Dr. Jeremiah’s production company will launch PerhapsToday.org. The site will be anchored by a series of pre-enactment videos created and produced by the same team that brought Why the Nativity? to 27 million viewers last Christmas. This realistic “caught on camera” user-generated footage is aimed at grabbing the viewers’ attention and curiosity through thought-provoking pre-enactment video clips depicting the moment of the Rapture.

When the Rapture occurs, the world will capture the moment—cellphones, security cameras, law enforcement body cams, dash cams, and doorbell cams will all bear witness to the great disappearance. Whether you believe the end of the world is an “if” scenario or a “when” scenario, it is a scenario that sparks conversation. It is a fascinating and often mysterious subject which compels many to ask: What will it be like? These questions are part of the reason Dr. Jeremiah embarked on this new series.

“I pray that anyone who engages with this new series finds inspiration and motivation to live with a greater purpose as we reach the world with this urgent message. We must teach these things to our children and grandchildren and share them with others,” said Dr. Jeremiah.

If the Perhaps Today campaign is the launching point for conversations, the book, the broadcast series, and the additional resources and content surrounding The Great Disappearance are the backbones of understanding a topic often shrouded in mystery and scare tactics. Presented in a way that offers fascinating glimpses of hope, powerful prophetic text, and promises from God, this new series and the campaign surrounding it help audiences view the world with hope as God’s plan unfolds and the world awaits the next event on His prophetic calendar.

The Perhaps Today website is live now; viewers can watch over a dozen pre-enactment scenarios. The Great Disappearance will air on national television throughout October and November and on radio throughout October. The book and additional study resources are available via DavidJeremiah.org now.

LAKESIDE, Calif., May 19, 2023 – This June, Dr. David Jeremiah will launch a new campaign entitled The Great Disappearance in front of a live studio audience at the famed Appel Room at Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Frederick P. Rose Hall.

This campaign, anchored by his newest book and teaching series, will focus on the next event on God’s prophetic calendar—the Rapture of the Church. The Rapture is a fascinating and often mysterious subject which compels us to ask: What will it be like?

“While we talk about the Rapture, we often don’t know much about it. There is so much fascinating information. It’s the blessed hope, the great expectation, the promise of the Lord,” said Dr. Jeremiah.

The new series will share what the Bible has to say on the subject and motivate the Church to live with a greater purpose. This fall, as the full campaign unfolds, these inspirational and hopeful teachings on biblical prophecy will support a wide variety of content, resources, and events.

Returning to New York City for the first time since the pandemic, Dr. Jeremiah will teach six sessions in front of a studio audience at the Appel Room at Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Frederick P. Rose Hall, overlooking Columbus Circle and Central Park. Dr. Jeremiah has long had a passion for the people of NYC and has produced several series and Broadway shows in New York.

“This is an important message; it should be introduced in one of the most important cities in the world.”

The Great Disappearance will air later this fall on national television. The book, along with additional resources and digital content, will be available in October via DavidJeremiah.org.

SAN DIEGO, Feb. 2, 2023 -- Why the Nativity?, Turning Point's feature length docudrama film that premiered last Thanksgiving Day and garnered over 19 million views during the 2022 holiday season, has been nominated for two awards.

We are thrilled to announce that Why the Nativity? has been nominated for MOVIEGUIDE's Most Inspirational Independent Television of 2022 Award. In addition, ¿Por Qué la Natividad?, the Spanish version of Why the Nativity?, has been nominated in the Documentary Feature Film Category for the Jesus Cine Fest.

Why the Nativity? explores questions, facts, and history seldom seen in traditional Nativity stories—from the influence of Roman rule to the identities of the Wise Men to the back story of Mary and Joseph as children. This is the story of a couple accepting a monumental change, of a journey fraught with danger, of oppressive rule, of the lowliest of society together with kings and Wise Men from around the ancient world journeying to see a God not their own but worshiping Him still. It is a story for the entire world, a timeless tale of the greatest gift of love and peace in an unstable world. A literal turning point in human history and the power of its influence today.

We are honored to be recognized by MOVIEGUIDE and the Jesus Cine Fest. We set out to make a film that would challenge audiences to think deeply about the origins of Christmas and its true meaning while at the same time setting a standard in Christian filmmaking that was on par with the best filmmaking in Hollywood.

The MOVIEGUIDE Awards, which recognizes excellence in Hollywood for faith and family values entertainment, will take place on February 10 in Hollywood and air on UPtv on February 26. Jesus Cine Fest will take place later this year, and winners will be announced in August. 

Why the Nativity? can be seen on TurningPoint+ and YouTube.

SAN DIEGO, Dec. 21, 2022 -- Why the Nativity? is Turning Point's first feature length docudrama film that premiered on Thanksgiving night. In the three weeks since it premiered, it has garnered more than 10 million views on YouTube alone. In addition to streaming on YouTube, the film is also available to audiences via Turning Point's website, its app, the Fox Nation app, Turning Point's regularly schedule television programming, and at noon each day at the Museum of the Bible in Washington D.C. Why the Nativity? will also air on Lifetime Television on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

The docudrama has also garnered attention outside the U.S. In the U.K., 102 theaters hosted screenings of Why the Nativity?. Over 800 churches and communities participated in the Saturday, December 2showing with over 18K tickets given away for the free viewing. Porque La Navidad?, the Spanish version which released two weeks ago, has over 37K YouTube views. Canal Luz will also be airing Porque La Navidad? in 17 countries across Central and South America this week. In Australia, Why the Nativity? will air nationwide on Christmas Day via 9GEM. Worldwide Why the Nativity? will have 70 international airings between now and Christmas Day.

Both domestically and internationally the grassroots support for Why the Nativity? has been tremendous. Over 4,000 churches signed up to host a watch night and gain access to additional resources created by the Turning Point digital marketing team. In addition, Turning Point's social media team created an Outreach Team campaign and had 2,452 individuals sign up to help promote Why the Nativity? in their communities.

When asked why he thought Why thy Nativity? was striking a chord with so many, Dr. Jeremiah responded, "Because the birth of Christ changes everything. It changed the world…He can bring joy in a world void of joy, hope in hopeless times, and peace in an uncertain world."

Why the Nativity? explores questions, facts, and history seldom seen in traditional Nativity stories—from the influence of Roman rule to the identities of the Wise Men, to the back story of Mary and Joseph as children. It was filmed entirely in Southern California and employed a cast and crew of 920 individuals. Turning Point employed Hollywood, Broadway, and Disney professionals to bring this story to life in the aftermath of COVID. The main set was built from the ground up on private property in the eastern part of San Diego County. It is the largest film production to build and film in San Diego County since Titanic.

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 23, 2022 -- Turning Point Studios, a division of Turning Point for God by Dr. David Jeremiah, premiered its first feature length docudrama film to a full house this past Friday at the Regal LA Live Cinema in Los Angeles, California. Why the Nativity? will premiere to the rest of the world on Thanksgiving Day.

After thirty years of producing regular television programing and reaching new audiences every year with its high caliber Christmas specials on Broadway, Turning Point moves to streaming platforms to present Why the Nativity?, a docudrama that looks at the most pivotal moment in human history. The biblical story of the Nativity is well-recorded; however, over the centuries, tradition has often influenced the retelling of the story of Jesus' birth—perhaps more than we realize. The Bible presents a clear narrative of the story, but beyond just a few chapters of text much of the detail is left untold. These mysteries, lost to the passage of time, facilitated the creative liberty to bring the Nativity story to life as never before.

Why the Nativity? explores questions, facts, and history seldom seen in traditional Nativity stories—from the influence of Roman rule to the identities of the Wise Men, to the back story of Mary and Joseph as children.

It is a story for the entire world, a timeless tale of the greatest gift of love and peace in an unstable world. A literal turning point in human history and the power of its influence today.

Why the Nativity? will be available on Turning Point Television, Turning Point+, and Fox Nation starting Thanksgiving Day. It will also air on Lifetime Television on Christmas Day. A made for television version has been adapted and will air on Turning Point's regularly scheduled daily and weekend programs in December. In addition, the Museum of the Bible in Washington D.C. will be playing Why the Nativity? in its theaters from December 2 until January 6.

David Jeremiah and Turning Point Ministries announce the launch of an exciting new digital series for college students and young adults

PASSAGES is a fast-paced adventure series featuring a team of friends who travel to various locations across the United States in their search to learn more about God and themselves

----------

LAKESIDE, Calif., Oct. 8, 2019 -- Turning Point Ministries is pleased to announce the launch of its newest brand, PASSAGES. PASSAGES is a fast-paced digital series hosted by David Todd Jeremiah, the grandson of Turning Point's founder and CEO, Dr. David Jeremiah. The series follows David Todd and his friends as they embark on previously untried activities, discovering new insights about creation and their faith than they had known before. The first season of PASSAGES will air each Monday on YouTube for ten weeks beginning Monday, October 7, 2019. 

According to David Todd, PASSAGES was created to "reach an age group that is searching for answers and to go where they are rather than asking them to come to us." While an average of 75 percent of Christians come to faith before they turn 18, a high percentage leave the church after high school and do not return until they have young children of their own. Studies show the youth of today does not feel church attendance is that important. But Dr. Jeremiah feels differently, "Don't turn away from the God of your fathers," he told a crowd in Macon, Georgia. "There is a real need to reach the youth of today with the answers that can only be found in the Word of God."

Turning Point has a long history of television, radio, and digital media excellence and has earned a solid reputation as a trustworthy production company. PASSAGES is the latest project to be undertaken by Turning Point and follows the successful launches of programs like Route 66, Airship Genesis, Haven's Light, Agents of Babylon, and I Never Thought I'd See the Day.

PASSAGES can be found online via YouTube at PASSAGESTV and Instagram @PASSAGESTV. The premiere episode is available now.
