Get to Know Our ARISE Pastors: A Conversation with Pastor Jonny Turpin

The Summer Series continues as Dr. Brent Simpson sits down with Pastor Jonny Turpin, Connections Pastor at ARISE Church, for a conversation filled with laughter, powerful testimony, and the faithfulness of God. Born and raised in Bartow, Florida, Pastor Jonny shares what it was like growing up as a true country boy. From spending his days outdoors to life in a pastor's home, he reflects on the values that shaped him, his love for the cowboy lifestyle, and why you'll probably find him watching The Office when he has some downtime. But beyond the fun stories is a powerful testimony of God's transforming grace. Pastor Jonny shares how a life-changing encounter with Jesus at church camp completely changed the trajectory of his life. He opens up about his teenage years, how God led him to Englewood, and the journey that eventually brought him and his family to ARISE Church. Whether he's talking about his love for water sports, his passion for helping people find community, or the joy of serving alongside his family at ARISE, this conversation is full of encouragement, authenticity, and reminders that God is faithful through every season.
