Author & Worship Pastor

Writing for those who want a faith rooted in love rather than striving.

About Jonathan

I serve as a worship pastor at Mercy Hill Church in North Carolina and write out of the lived intersection of Scripture, leadership, and everyday faith. My work is shaped by the conviction that worship is formative—and that what we love is what we become.Much of my writing is born out of my own questions, failures, and slow re-learning of what it means to remain in love.

Start Here

If you’re new here, I wrote a short reflection called Why Your Faith Isn’t Forming You for people who believe sincerely, show up faithfully, and still feel something hasn’t changed.It’s free, short, and meant to be read slowly.

For Churches & Leaders

I also spend time working with worship leaders and churches through coaching, teaching, and gatherings—around healthy leadership, spiritual formation, and worship rooted in love rather than performance.If something here resonates, I’m always open to a conversation.You can reach me by email below, or simply connect on Instagram.
