Parenting Deconstructed

Navigating Your Spiritual Evolution Without Leaving Your Family Behind

After experiencing an extreme makeover of their faith, Jason and Brandi Elam found themselves wondering if their fear-based parenting methods might need to evolve as well. They reached out to several friends who had experience parenting through their own faith deconstruction and invited them to write about their journeys. These contributions offer hope and hard-fought wisdom for weary parents desperately trying to forge real connections with their kids before time runs out and the babies fly the nest. Jonathan contributed a chapter to this book.

You Are Enough

Learning to Love Yourself the Way God Loves You

If I asked you to name your favourite things—the things you love—how long would it take for you to name yourself?

If you’re anything like me, you’ve tried to love God and love others without thinking too much about yourself. Wanting to avoid self-centeredness, I doubted myself and condemned myself—I even hated myself—until I noticed the ancient words of Mark 12:31, “Love your neighbour as yourself.”

Drawing from Scripture, trauma-informed therapy, Christian inner-healing, breathing and embodiment exercises, and silent prayer & contemplative spirituality, You Are Enough is a holistic healing journey towards abundant life. Daily readings are easy to understand, with practical exercises to help you embrace the truth of your beloved-ness in every part of your mind, body, soul and spirit.

You Are The Solution to Someone's Problem

Finding Meaning and Purpose When You Feel Passed Over

Every person on this planet is unique, and they see God and the world around them in a way that is unlike anyone else. That means that somewhere along the line, you'll be able to provide the solution to someone's problem, in a way that is uniquely you. It'll seem like they were waiting for you all this time.

Because they were.

If you've ever felt passed over, ignored, or like you just couldn't play the game everyone else was playing, then this book is for you. In You Are The Solution to Someone's Problem, Jonathan lays out the nature of waiting and discusses how to keep your heart sweet while you wait for your big day: the day that you provide the solution to someone's problem.
