Jesse Turkington is the executive director of Parable Ministries and has been a Bible teacher for the last 9 years. When Jesse was just finishing high school, he started a little Bible study at his parent’s house. Little did he know, this Bible study would change the direction of his life. He fell in love with the richness of the Bible and he wanted to pursue serious study. About 10 years later, Jesse still carries that passion for the Bible and from this passion was born Parable Ministries - a Bible teaching resource. Jesse believes that the Bible is a life changing book and that it can transform the way we view the world. The Bible presents a Creator God who desires intimate fellowship with us. His ways are not our ways and His thoughts are not our thoughts. Through study and thoughtful meditation, the Bible works to untangle our situational worldview and elevate our hopes and desires - we are encouraged to think on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Jesse is all about this book and he wants to share it with whoever will listen.

The prophet Elisha had a tough act to follow. This man gave it all up, faced hardship and rejection, yet did the work God called him to. Through him, and the testimony of the Scriptures, we see the importance of discipleship and discipline.

Correction: Jesse provided an inaccurate statistic. He stated there being 200,000 different Christian denominations, however, the statistic is closer to 45,000. 

Jesse and Hunter discuss the qualifications of elders, and what, if anything should disqualify someone from public ministry.
