Jeremy holds a B.S. in Marketing Management from Western Governors University. He has authored multiple business plans and blog articles. As a general manager, Jeremy’s strength was in business intelligence. He managed a small business with over 70 employees and became a partner of the business. Jeremy has compiled his expertise into his first book, Psalms in Motif Visualization, Psalms of the New Testament.

Jeremy performed music professionally for over 15 years as a saxophonist. He is recorded on over 10 albums. He became an audio engineer and produced over 10 albums for artists through his studio.

Jeremy put his faith in Jesus at age 5 and grew in the Lord with his parents and University Baptist Church in Macomb, Illinois. As an adult he has moved to three states and one country. He participated on the music team in Arizona at a Frist Evangelical Free church, moved to Texas where he served on the audio engineering team, and made it to California where he served in administrative duties in Calvary Chapel, Costa Mesa. He and his wife moved to Germany and attend an International Community Church serving in administrative areas as needed while studying through Biblicaltraining.org, a comprehensive biblical education on the Bible and theology from world-class professors.

Jeremy describes himself as a Calvinist, though this is only a means of communicating his world view as a beginning to conversation. He rejects the idea that the church should be divided because of labeling. Jeremy can see that scripture teaches that all people of all time are totally depraved, spiritually dead and blind, and unable to repent. God must initiate the work of repentance. God elects based upon His sovereignty and He is held hostage by no free will choice a human being (which would put sovereignty in the hands of the human being, God forbid). Gods’ election is His own decision and is not based on the foreseen response of anyone’s faith and repentance. God preserves the elect so they persevere to the end, so no chosen person will ever be lost. Jeremy sees that Scripture teaches that Jesus shed His blood for the elect and the rest is irrelevant because any benefit of that shed blood is not imparted to the non-elect. While God honors a measure of free will, He maintains His sovereignty and purposes. In this way, grace is irresistable. People are born again when God enables a person to respond to His gospel and they are then able to believe and receive God’s grace. God is the author, initiator, and completer of everything, especially when it comes to salvation from His wrath for eternity.

Though Jeremy holds these beliefs, there are truths more fundamental than these that all Christians believe. These fundamentals are open for discussion but not open for disagreement. People have the ability to do good things during their lives, but they are unable to repair or establish relationship with God. God alone reaches out. All people from all of time need Gods help. The preached gospel is the means to salvation and every believer is under the commission to do it. The mission of the church involves evangelism, edification, and exhortation. Christ’s work on the cross has infinite value. There is no limit to the payment of sin. However, this does not apply to everyone. Salvation is only by grace through faith alone. If a person believes and has faith in Jesus, that person is and will be saved.

Jeremy enjoys organizing things in his spare time. Anything from plastic containers to making spreadsheets of catechisms and church hymns. To balance that, Jeremy enjoys finding music from all cultures and playing along when he can. He is fascinated by the theology of sound and the ministering of music.
