Childhood
A childhood that taught him he was the problem
From birth until about age four, Jon was abused by people in his own family. He grew up believing something was deeply wrong with him, and for years that belief ran his life.

Early adulthood
The one who gave everything away
He became the loud, generous one in every room, always trying to be useful enough to be loved. It led him into friendships where people took far more than they gave.

The search
Looking for something real
When his first daughter was on the way, Jon started taking care of his body. That grew into an obsession he later understood as a way of keeping people at a distance. Underneath it he was searching, and the search led him into meditation, breathwork and years of spiritual study.

The birth
The day his second daughter was born
The birth went badly. A complication left his partner frightened and unable to move, and she was rushed into surgery. Jon was not allowed in.
He fell to his knees and prayed. He describes what followed as the Christ energy moving through him. He heard his daughter cry, and he knew he had witnessed a miracle. His partner says she felt Jon and God above her, holding her through it.

Since then
Choosing to live as himself
That experience opened him up enough to ask the questions he had avoided his whole life. Soon after, the memories of his childhood came back. Jon says it became his mission to help people see what is running beneath the surface of their lives, and to choose to live as themselves.
Jon has spoken about this at length. You can hear it in his own words below.
