My name is Jeremy Sarber.
Ordained in 2008, I’ve spent the better part of my ministry slowly and carefully expounding upon Scripture one verse, one passage, and one book at a time. Though it’s not the only way to teach the Bible, I enjoy and continue that tradition here with short expository essays.
After pastoring two churches and planting a third, I now work full-time as a funeral home chaplain and preneed advisor, living in the Midwest with my wife and two children.
