Name:
Location: Long Island, New York, United States

I'm the lead pastor of a great and very unconventional church - Church At The Movies, with campuses in Ronkonkoma and Mastic, NY - and I love doing what I do. We have hundreds of fellow radicals in our congregations who, like me, are committed to doing church for the unchurched. Totally apart from my church involvement, I work a few hours a week as a Weight Loss Consultant for Weight Watchers, which I thoroughly enjoy.

DAYLIGHT

Jonathan's office is a great place to work - his home office that is, not his niche in the corproate headquarters of J.C.Penney. I'm using his space right now and really enjoying the one commodity missing from the basement offices I spend a lot of time in during a regular week - daylight!

It's bright here, with big windows and a geat view out over nothing but fields and trees. Back home I look at the railroad ties that shore up the window wells which are there in a vain attempt to access as much light as possible.

It's not great doing church in a theater where your feet stick to the floor either and the walls are so disgusting we don't even use the new house lights.

But they're not what it's all about. People are finding hope, faith is rising in the hearts of those who were hopeless. Lives are being changed - mine included.

For that I'd stay in a basement and slush through spilled coke for the rest of my life if it was necessary!
