Awards

Jernigan was inducted into the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame in 2018.

Personal life

A primary source of inspiration for Jernigan's message and music is an experience he describes as his deliverance from *sexuality. Jernigan states that this began during a 2nd Chapter of Acts concert in Norman, Oklahoma. Jernigan believes his prior identification as *sexual was related to an erroneous childhood perception that he had been rejected by his father.

Following the experience at the concert, Jernigan developed a ministry based on his personal experience, which he shares at churches and other locations around the world. In a concert at Wynne Baptist Church, Jernigan stated that he does not wish to be labeled as "ex-gay", but instead as "reborn" or as " new creation."

Do*entary film

Jernigan is the subject of the 2014 film Sing Over Me, a do*entary covering his career and struggle with *sexuality. The film was written and directed by Jacob Kindberg.

Creative collaborations

Jernigan has recorded with Natalie Grant, Twila Paris, Ron Kenoly and Rebecca St. James.
