Jonathan Pokluda
Jonathan "JP" Pokluda is the lead pastor of Harris Creek Baptist Church in Waco, Texas. He was formerly the leader of The Porch in Dallas, which grew to be the largest weekly young adult gathering of its kind in the country. JP didn’t come to understand the grace of the gospel until his early twenties after being involved in different denominational churches his entire life. This ignited a desire in him to inspire young adults to radically follow Jesus Christ and unleash them to change the world. JP’s wife and partner in ministry is Monica, and together they disciple their children Presley, Finley, and Weston. His bestselling book, Welcome to Adulting, offers millennials a road map to navigating faith, finding a spouse, finances, and the future. After that, JP released Outdated, which explains God’s purpose for singleness, dating, and marriage while covering why, who, and how you should date. His latest book, which was written for a broader audience, is Why Do I Do What I Don’t Want to Do? JP is a popular speaker at many churches and conferences, including THINQ, Passion, and others, and his passion is to share the gospel with anyone who will listen and to equip others to do the same.
