Jeremy’s oldest son, Caleb, is 22 years old. On December 19, 2017, Caleb and his younger brother, Clayton, were in a near fatal car accident on their way to a University of Oklahoma basketball game. Clayton suffered a minor concussion, but Caleb suffered a severe traumatic brain injury. Caleb was not expected to live the night of the accident, and if he did live, was not anticipated to live any kind of a normal life. God chose not only to spare Caleb’s life, but also to miraculously begin healing him. Since 2018, Caleb has been a walking/talking miracle! His story has been covered by countless news outlets and is impacting thousands of lives all across this country. Jeremy and Caleb travel the globe sharing the hope of the Gospel through their family’s #butGod story.
