Both domestically and internationally the grassroots support for Why the Nativity? has been tremendous. Over 4,000 churches signed up to host a watch night and gain access to additional resources created by the Turning Point digital marketing team. In addition, Turning Point's social media team created an Outreach Team campaign and had 2,452 individuals sign up to help promote Why the Nativity? in their communities.

When asked why he thought Why thy Nativity? was striking a chord with so many, Dr. Jeremiah responded, "Because the birth of Christ changes everything. It changed the world...He can bring joy in a world void of joy, hope in hopeless times, and peace in an uncertain world."

Why the Nativity? explores questions, facts, and history seldom seen in traditional Nativity stories-from the influence of Roman rule, to the identities of the Wise Men, to the back story of Mary and Joseph as children. It was filmed entirely in Southern California and employed a cast and crew of 920 individuals. Turning Point employed Hollywood, Broadway, and Disney professionals to bring this story to life in the aftermath of COVID. The main set was built from the ground up on private property in the eastern part of San Diego County. It is the largest film production to build and film in San Diego County since Titanic.
