MEET THE STEWARDS OF HOLISTIC HEALTH & KINGDOM IDENTITY

Jonathon & Belle Rape

A graduate of Campbell University, Jonathon served as a Physical Education and Health educator for 20 years in public middle school before transitioning into healthcare leadership. He currently oversees a chiropractic clinic dedicated to providing exceptional, holistic patient care. Jonathon is also a certified personal trainer and neuromuscular therapist.

For more than two decades, Jonathon has devoted himself to studying the Scriptures, with a special emphasis on understanding the Bible through its Jewish context and historical setting. He is passionate about helping believers discover the richness of God's Word by exploring the cultural and biblical foundations of the Christian faith.

He is happily married to his incredible wife of 23 years, and together they are grateful for God's faithfulness throughout their journey. Outside of ministry and work, Jonathon enjoys competing in Spartan races, embracing the discipline, perseverance, and resilience they require. The lessons learned through endurance racing continually remind him of the biblical call to run with perseverance the race God has set before us. He's also mastered another endurance event: patiently serving his wife by graciously accepted that one of his unofficial responsibilities is offering his opinion on whatever outfit Belle is wearing that day.

Jonathon is also passionate about encouraging men to embrace biblical masculinity - living with courage, integrity, humility, and servant leadership as modeled by Christ. His desire is to see strong, faithful men lead their homes, serve their communities, and influence the next generation by reflecting the character and love of Jesus.

Whether teaching, serving, or speaking, Jonathon's goal is to equip believers to grow in their understanding of Scripture, deepen their walk with Christ, and live out their faith with conviction, wisdom, and purpose.

Belle is a recovering city girl, corporate dropout, brand strategist, speaker, and your feral BRANDmother who believes God never wastes a good story.

After more than 20 years marketing global brands, including Tiffany & Co., Google, Pepsi, the NFL, the NBA, and Lowe's, discover who they are and communicate it well, Belle realized the same thing is true for people: when you know whose you are, you stop chasing who the world says you should be.

Today, she helps believers live with greater clarity, courage, and conviction by rooting their identity firmly in Christ before anything else. She still takes on the occasional contract styling commercial shoots to keep her marketing skills fresh.

After attending Campbell University and graduating with honors with a B.A. in Mass Communications and a Minor in Violin Performance, her career led her to hold several positions in the marketing industry...

from launching a new NBA franchise to starting a social media department for a national brand to managing global collateral and Japan marketing for one of the world's most iconic jewelry brands to navigating the branding for a Super Bowl halftime show.

Belle has been married to her college sweetheart, Jonathon, for 23 years. Though she and Jonathon don't have children of their own, Belle has fully embraced her calling as the favorite auntie, cheering on the next generation, asking good questions, and reminding every child she meets that they were handcrafted by God for a purpose. Together they serve at Sardis Baptist Church, where Belle has the joy of playing violin on the worship team. Whether leading through music, conversation, or everyday life, they both love investing in people and pointing them toward a life built on God's Word.

When she's not speaking or building brands, you'll probably find her running Spartan races with friends, walking her dogs, standing ankle-deep in the ocean collecting shells, sipping a hot cup of coffee, or embracing Green Acres life with chickens, dirt roads, and enough fresh air to make her wonder why she ever loved city traffic.
