Throughout his life and career, Jeremy Rivera has tried to walk the line between the secular and the sacred, between the world and the church. Inspired by people who believe in something so deeply that they’re willing to transcend cultural or religious comfort zones, Jeremy aspires to share these stories because of their pursuit of truth and ability to influence and radically change lives for the better. Though filled with mystery, life also presents real human needs (seen and unseen) for us to draw near to. Thankfully, we are not alone in our pain or in our serving, there are many wounded healers who have come before us to show the way.
