“When my dad stepped back from ministry and stepped down from the pulpit,” he added. “I needed this. I needed to know God is my refuge. God is my strength, and he’s very present.”
Later in his video, Jonathan said,
“Be still” doesn’t mean don’t move. Be still doesn’t mean be physically irresponsible. Be still means that you can be emotionally steady. Be still doesn’t mean stop stepping. It means stop stressing. But do what God has called you to do with an unwavering confidence that he is God.
“So yeah,” he continued, “when my dad stepped down, it was a punch to the gut for me [and] my siblings…God says, ‘Be still. I’m still God. Do not fear. Do not be afraid. I’ve already won.’ Just because there’s bumps along the way doesn’t mean victory hasn’t already been had.”
