Author: Jonny Rashid

I’m Jonny Rashid. Among other things, I serve as a pastor for Circle of Hope. We’re a network of cells that form congregations in Philadelphia. I serve specifically our congregation at the intersection of Frankford and Norris. I used to be a school teacher. In that spirit, I’m trying to use this blog to teach others.

I love writing, but my writing is not merely about self-expression, it’s about pointing Jesus.
