In July of 2017, Jesse Turkington started writing little devotionals for a Bible study that he hosted in Salem, Oregon. His writings became known as meditationals because they were similar to devotionals yet had an emphasis on biblical meditation. Meditationals are meant to encourage spiritual growth through the personal practice of biblical meditation.

Rags Before a King is the second of a five part series.

Jesse was born and raised in the Willamette Valley. 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.
