Jonathan is a blessed husband and a happy dad. He is also a professor, pastor, and author. Jonathan is the Department Chair of Pastoral Ministries at Dallas Theological Seminary, a board member of Chuck Swindoll’s Insight for Living Ministries, a writer with Sacra Script Ministries, and a teaching pastor.

While born in Belfast, Northern Ireland, he was raised in the Canary Islands, Spain, as a missionary kid, and then educated in Northern Ireland, Edinburgh (Scotland), and Dallas, Texas! Such cross-cultural exposure has nurtured a diverse range of interests from cheering for Ulster in rugby and Spain in soccer to enjoying all things related to history. Jonathan’s heart beats to teach God’s Word to edify the local church. He and his wife, Sarah Jane, have four children.
