In his youth, Jonnathan struggled in school with reading and writing, as well as suffering with a severe stutter. However, while in college, Jonnathan experienced a radical encounter with God, minutes before attempting to take his own life. After he converted from a devout Buddhist to Christianity, he discovered that he was suddenly able to read, write, and speak without the issues which plagued him in his youth. With his new abilities, he began writing blogs and articles fervently and eventually authored his first book in 2019. Also, Jonnathan and his wife Olivia were ordained in 2015 and launched God Manifest, a small Christian church in Houston, Texas.
"Without God, I would be dead," said Jonnathan. "All that I am today is evidence of God's amazing goodness. Without Him, there is no me."view less
