Research shows that there is no mention of a "Pastor Jeremiah Steepek" whatsoever unless it is with this story. If someone is the pastor of a close to 10,000-person church, you figure there would be some mention of him somewhere.

Next up is the picture that accompanies the story when passed around social media sites. That picture is actually of an unidentified homeless man taken in London by Brad J. Gerrard.

The story of Pastor Jeremiah Steepek is one that has been passed along for years in different variations. It could be a retelling of Rev. Willie Lyle who posed as a homeless man for four days in Clarksville, TN, in 2013, and then used his experience to deliver a sermon.

This tale is also one that is extremely similar to something that happened in the opening of am 1897 novel from Charles Monroe Sheldon called "In His Steps: What Would Jesus Do?" The tale was also one that was a social psychology experiment at Princeton University in 1970.

Again, the story of Pastor Jeremiah Steepek is one that is kind, heartwarming, and one that merits much thought. It's true in some regard, but not entirely as it is being made out to be as it makes the Internet rounds.
