Join Seattle youth pastor Jonathan Kopecky as he spends ONE TO ONE time chatting, laughing and giving voice to teens opening up about their world. Jonathan starts every podcast asking teens three questions: (1) Who are you? (2) How’s your faith? (3) What are you here to talk about? The final question is the most fun for Jonathan, as he has no idea what his guest might bring up. It gives him a chance to listen and respond honestly to his youth’s current concerns. It also gives him a chance to see if he still has some youth ministry skills. Who knows, maybe you might have the same question as your peers. Jonathan has been a youth pastor since 2006. He is married with four kids and is an avid cyclist, guitar player, worship leader and loves to get into anything you’re interested in. He still can pull off a rad heal flip.
