Most Christians have heard that Jesus died for their sins. Far fewer have actually believed it, not because they lack faith, but because somewhere between the pew and the parking lot, the gospel got quietly edited. A subtle distortion here, a misread passage there, and suddenly forgiveness has conditions, identity is performance-based, and grace sounds too good to be true.

What I Got Wrong is the honest confession of a pastor who spent decades in the Scriptures and the pulpit, preaching with conviction things that were earnest, well-intentioned, and wrong in ways that mattered enormously. It's not a book designed to soften the Bible. It's a book by someone who took the Bible more seriously than ever before, and found that what it actually says is far more freeing than what most of us were taught.

With clarity, warmth, and honesty, Jeremy Walloch walks through the questions most believers carry silently for years: “How forgiven am I, really? Who am I in Christ? What do I do with the Old Testament? What actually happened on the cross?” These aren't theological debates. They are the questions that determine whether you wake up in fear or in freedom, whether you spend your life striving or resting, whether you quietly carry your shame alone or lay it down for good.

If you've ever suspected that something important was missing from your faith, this book is for you.

Jeremy Walloch is the lead pastor of Olivet Church in La Crosse, Wisconsin, and the author of What I Got Wrong: What the Bible Actually Says About the Things That Matter Most.

After college and seminary, Jeremy served a megachurch in the Fargo area before spending ten years as lead pastor of a church outside Austin, Texas. He then planted a new church in Mesa, Arizona, before coming to Olivet in 2021, where he encountered God through the Scriptures in a way that changed everything.

The result is What I Got Wrong. After decades in the pulpit, he found himself teaching things that were earnest, well-intentioned, and, in ways that matter enormously, incorrect. Not because he wasn't trying. But because the distortions go deep, they've been accumulating for centuries, and most of the people passing them on had no idea. This book is his attempt to clear the wreckage, and to share what he now knows about forgiveness, identity, grace, and what the Bible actually says about the things that matter most.

Jeremy has been married to Michelle since 2002. They have four daughters and a grandson. When he's not in the Scriptures or with his family, he's probably in the woods with a bow in his hand.
