Jonas Ellison. Jonas decided to go to seminary in his 40s to become an ordained Lutheran minister. Before this, he'd stepped away from the church for a decade or two due to the tyrannical god they tried to sell him growing up. Somehow, much to his chagrin, he couldn't shake the Jesus thing. In coming back to Jesus's eternal story, he met some crazy-ass Lutherans who taught him about God's radically scandalous grace for him (and yes, even those he deems unworthy of it).He knew he'd found his theological home and signed up for seminary on the double.

He’s been sharing his whimsical ramblings online for more than a decade. Somehow, over the years, he’s put together a somewhat popular blog on Medium. He’s also written for other publications like Huffington Post, Observer, Crossings, Good Men Project, and more.
