  • about me

    My name is Jonathan Assink.

    I'm a writer, photographer, baseball nut, foodie & lover of indie bands you've probably never heard of. I wrote a theology of justice for artists & love to talk about the intersection of art, faith & social justice. I am passionate about words & images. I have a heart for the city, for the church (in whatever form it takes) & for artists.

    Though inspired & influenced by many different people and experiences my words here are my own & do not represent the views of any organization I might be involved in.
