Personal life
A primary source of inspiration for Jernigan's message and music is an experience he describes as his deliverance from homosexuality. Jernigan states that this began during a 2nd Chapter of Acts concert in Norman, Oklahoma .[ 3] [ 4] Jernigan believes his prior identification as homosexual was related to an erroneous childhood perception that he had been rejected by his father.
Following the experience at the concert, Jernigan developed a ministry based on his personal experience, which he shares at churches and other locations around the world. In a concert at Wynne Baptist Church, Jernigan stated that he does not wish to be labeled as "ex-gay", but instead as "reborn" or as "[God's] new creation."[citation needed ]
