January 3, 2013

Can you believe it’s already 2013? Seems like last year flew by. I hope it was a great year for you. This is just a quick note to remind you that Melinda and I will be hosting a Next Generation Creative Institute in our home on January 18-20. We have only had a handful of people register for this one...meaning there’s room for you! If you desire a place to hone your creative tools or a safe place to receive deep personal ministry or if you simply love to worship God in very intimate settings, this weekend event may be just for you. You can find out more by going  here.

I hope to see you there!
Dennis Jernigan

P.S.  New FREE mp3 of the month. A blessing song from me to you for the year 2013 and beyond. It is called Near His Face...and I can’t wait for you to hear it and receive all Father has for you.

Telling My Story and Sticking to It - Psalms 107:1-2

People often ‘encourage’ me to stop telling my story…that it’s old news and not a great marketing point for my music.
The problem with that is that the Lord keeps telling me my story is more relevant than ever. Who should I listen to?
Who would you listen to? What keeps me going in spite of the negative – from both the world and
Christians - is hearing others tell me they are walking in freedom because I dared to share.
Rather than belabor the point, let me tell you about some of my encounters from just this past week.

After a worship gathering last Wednesday in which I shared my entire story,
I was approached by so many with amazing stories of what God did in their
lives…stories that made me realize I can NEVER stop sharing what God has done for me.

A twelve-year-old boy came up to me, tears in his eyes. “I didn’t know freedom was possible?
I thought there was no hope for me. Thank you for telling me how to be free.”
He did not have to tell me what his particular struggle. I saw myself at his age and just knew.

A few moments later, a thirty-something young man approached me, sobbing, with these words.
“I had never heard of you…just thought I was coming to another concert.
I have struggled my entire life and no one ever told me freedom was possible.
I’m free tonight because of what you shared. Thank you.”

Just this morning I received an email telling me, “I came to your concert expecting a
time of worship and singing but was confronted with my own need to get honest.
I had things happen to me when I was a boy – same-sex things – and have struggled with pornography.
I thought keeping it hidden was the best thing…but after hearing your story,
I realize I’ve only been doing more damage to myself. The night you shared, the walls of my
sin began to crumble and continue to do so. Thank you for helping me heal.”

At another ‘concert’, I met a couple who told me this story. He said, “In the late 1990s you came to
our city and shared your story. I was in rehab and me and the guys with me could not afford a
CD…so you sent someone to your table and got one for each of us. I was saved as a result of your ministry.”
She went on. “I was an atheist and had multiple abortions. I came to one of your nights of praise
and it scared me to death…but I came back several times and was born again and am walking in
healing as a result of your ministry. God brought my husband and I together.
We now have three children and share our stories of freedom daily.”

I hear stories like this hundreds of times throughout the year. People come to my ‘concerts’ expecting
a music show but walk away having been met with the love of God in a way they had not expected.
I will continue to share but would like to humbly ask you to help me continue. Following are my most
immediate needs for the coming year:

I need to record a new album of music. The music continues to open doors for me to share my heart.
The sale of that music actually helps me keep doing what I am called to do. I am an independent artist.
The industry considers me a dinosaur…but people keep coming to my ‘concerts’. Go figure.
My personal belief is that the 31 years of freedom I have walked in may just count for something
in the Kingdom! Would you consider giving toward helping me produce a new recording?

Just this week, my laptop bit the dust…the laptop on which I do 90% of my writing and ministry.
I had to replace it – taking from the meager recording fund I had already begun.
I truly trust God to provide and I continue to work hard for the Kingdom…but would humbly ask you to help me
keep sharing my story. Your financial gifts really do go toward this ministry. I encourage you to read those brief
testimonies above one more time and then remember this is but a drop in the ocean of all those we hear
from who have been brought into the Kingdom or set free by God through this ministry.

Thank you for being a Kingdom Seeker with me.

In His Love & Grace,

Dennis Jernigan

New Fantasy Book by Dennis Jernigan PLUS 14 Songs for the Journey!

            In case you didn’t know, Dennis Jernigan has begun a fantasy book series called
The Chronicles of Bren. The first book in the series, The Chronicles of Bren: Captured,
is the beginning story in the saga of one boy’s journey to manhood. Young teen, Lee Jennings,
bullied constantly by local boys, suddenly finds himself transported into a world of fantasy and
adventure…and plunged into a whole new identity as the son of a king! How he traverses this
new world and endures captivity at the hands of the realm’s resident evil lord is also the
journey of self-discovery that will one day serve Lee in his adult life. Full of fantastic
beings and magical creatures from this new dimension and wrought with many twists and turns,
Captured is just the beginning for Lee Jennings…and is designed to be an adventurously
entertaining ride for readers of all ages.

            Jernigan’s second book in the series is now available! Called
The Chronicles of Bren: Sacrifice, the story of Lee Jennings continues. Still embattled yet
more confident in his emerging manhood, Lee once again finds himself transported
into the realm of Bren, only this time he finds himself as reigning king of the realm!
Sacrifice is Lee’s journey into discovering how he became king. As the story unfolds,
his father, High King Troyolin, is on his death bed whispering these words into his son’s
ear. “Son, I go now from your side…but I will always be with you. Take the memories we
made together and cherish them like precious treasure. And if you remember nothing
else…if I could tell you only one thing, I would say…” It is not until the end of this grand
adventure that we discover and understand what those final words were and what they mean.
This story reveals the keys to the kingdom of Bren but also lays the groundwork of the
continuing legacy of Lee Jennings and the future kings and queens of the realm and their coming adventures.

            Dennis Jernigan grew up imagining rescue from his own captors and God used
music to enhance the journey and bring hope. We find it no big surprise that DJ would write
music for the journey through the land of Bren! Called Songs for the Journey, this 14 song
collection was created as a tool to enhance the reader’s enjoyment and to give greater depth
to the adventure…and the CD is included with every copy of the book Captured  purchased
from Shepherd’s Heart Music! As an added bonus, we will also include the CD with
every copy of the book Sacrifice through the end of December 2012!

Although the songs depict the journey of Captured never fear, Jernigan is working on
songs for Sacrifice as well! Join the adventure and purchase your copies of Captured and Sacrifice today!
You may purchase the music as mp3 downloads HERE.

The Chronicles of Bren: Captured                 $14.99 plus free CD! ($29 value!)
