Jonathan has served in multiple ministry capacities, including: Team Chaplain and Director of Basketball Operations for Mercer University Men’s Basketball, Children’s Pastor, and in 2021, Jonathan served on staff at Grace Point Fellowship in Franklin, Ohio. He holds a B.A. in Communications and a Masters in Divinity. Jonathan is the author of two books: “Living Mirrors,” and “Stepping Into Next.”
