What are the flagship programs and daily broadcasts of Turning Point Ministries and Dr. David Jeremiah?
Executive summary
Turning Point Ministries, founded by Dr. David Jeremiah in 1982, is built around a 30‑minute radio program and a television ministry that the organization says airs thousands of times daily on thousands of outlets, reaching a potential global radio audience reported as high as 480 million and airing in multiple languages [1] [2]. The ministry’s digital flagship is the TurningPoint+ streaming service and the Turning Point mobile app, which provide on‑demand access to over 1,200–1,500 messages and devotional content alongside daily radio and television broadcasts [3] [4] [5].
1. Turning Point’s flagship broadcast programs: radio first, television second
Turning Point began as a radio ministry in 1982 and continues to emphasize radio as its foundation: the Turning Point 30‑minute radio program is described as airing on more than 1,800–3,000 stations domestically and internationally and “more than 4,000 times per day” on domestic outlets depending on the page cited [6] [2] [7]. Turning Point Television launched later and is presented as a weekday television program that averages roughly 300,000 households per weekday and weekend programming that the site puts at about 1.5 million viewers on weekends [2].
2. Dr. David Jeremiah as the content source and public face
All flagship content—radio, television, daily devotionals, and many app and streaming messages—derives from Dr. Jeremiah’s sermons and teaching at Shadow Mountain Community Church; Turning Point markets him as senior pastor, founder and CEO, and the principal teacher whose pulpit messages form the basis of international broadcasts in eleven languages [1] [8] [9].
3. Digital flagship: TurningPoint+ and the Turning Point app
TurningPoint+ is promoted as the ministry’s premium streaming platform, integrated into the Turning Point mobile app rather than as a separate app, offering subscribers on‑demand access to 1,200–1,500+ Bible teaching messages, daily devotionals, and special seasonal channels such as the “Home for Christmas” channel and other curated experiences [3] [4] [5] [8]. The ministry emphasizes that traditional broadcasts on radio and TV continue alongside these digital offerings [3] [5].
4. Daily broadcasts and devotional content: an always‑on content strategy
Turning Point produces daily devotional messages and a regularly updated archive of sermons and devotionals. Multiple pages and syndicated sites show daily devotional postings for December 2025 and ongoing “Through‑the‑Bible” or daily devotion formats, indicating a steady cadence of content feeding radio, TV and streaming platforms [10] [11] [12]. The Turning Point radio and television pages also promote seasonal programming (for example, the “Why the Nativity?” film and 25‑day devotional experiences) that are distributed across broadcast and streaming channels in multiple languages [13] [14].
5. Distribution claims and audience metrics — what sources say and where they vary
Turning Point’s own sites give several related but not fully consistent reach numbers: one page mentions a potential audience of 480 million listeners and thousands of airings daily [1], while other official pages list 1,976 domestic outlets and “more than 4,000 times per day” in the U.S. [7], and yet another page says radio airs on more than 3,000 U.S. stations [2]. Television viewership figures (300,000 households weekday; 1.5 million weekend) are reported on the organization’s site [2]. These are organization‑provided metrics; independent audience verification is not provided in the supplied sources [2] [7] [1].
6. Programming variety beyond sermons: series, films, events and young‑adult outreach
Turning Point develops original television series, seasonal films (for example the “Why the Nativity?” docudrama), live arena events (David Jeremiah Live!), and targeted digital channels such as PassagesTV aimed at young adults—demonstrating a multi‑format content strategy beyond the core 30‑minute radio program and standard TV episodes [2] [7] [13].
7. Competing perspectives and limitations in reporting
Available sources are predominantly Turning Point/Dr. David Jeremiah sites and affiliated program listings [8] [2] [3]. Those pages present reach and audience figures in promotional terms; independent corroboration or third‑party audience metrics are not included in the provided results. If you want externally audited audience numbers or financial details, available sources do not mention independent audits or Nielsen‑style ratings data in the supplied material.
8. Practical takeaway for a listener or researcher
If you want daily teaching from Dr. Jeremiah: Turning Point’s 30‑minute radio program and daily devotionals are the practical “day‑to‑day” offerings, while TurningPoint+ and the Turning Point app give on‑demand access to the ministry’s archive of 1,200–1,500+ messages and seasonal specials [4] [5] [3] [12]. For verification of reach or audience claims, you will need sources beyond the ministry’s own reporting; those are not present in the materials supplied here [2] [7].
