So, Jonathan, this was a good listen, but from my experience, meeting you post concert 3x, you were genuinely welcoming which were not my expectations and my daughter's expectations, it was like you were an old friend we hadn't seen in years! You have never yet behaved entitled or cocky just a Gospel artist who showed the qualification of a Christian - humility. May God continue to bless you!
Yes Jon! One day, I was in deep thought while walking and this guy said to me “put a smile on that pretty face” and I was like “sir! You have no idea what’s going on. I’m trying to figure something out” I always smile! Thank you for this!
I enjoyed the engagement as well as the discussion! The time went by very swiftly! Great job!!! I loved your acknowledgment of how you felt when the security guard told you to smile! Continue to be your authentic self! You ARE Special, Gifted, Anointed and Appointed for such a time as this!!! Positive reinforcement is vital to the success of the babies! I salute your Mother! I was that kid that was told to go to bed!!😳🥰
Wow.... Congratulations Jonathan. I am so proud of you. I love the creativity and Authenticity you gave in this podcast. This is truly different. To be honest moments like this creates intimacy and shows a " more human" side of you. Can't wait for the next 😊Thank you for allowing God to use you. Much success to you 🎉❤💐💐
I just found your music this month 😢 I'm so blessed to have listened and been ministered too. I thank God for you 🙏🏾 ❤️ God Bless You and keep you 🙏🏾 ❤️
Jonathan I loved this episode. You came to my church last year and I had no idea who you were but after hearing you sing....I was like I have to follow this young man. That's exactly what I did. every morning I have praise and worship to your music omw to work. I attended you show in Philly this month and it was life changing and an experience I will never forget. Now I get to see the human side of you. You are what this world needs...songs that express how one may really feel but often feel like you can't talk about things because you walk with righteousness. Your music gives ppl hope, allows them to be vulnerable and creates a space for expression of one's life. THANK YOU A Million Times for those BUT GOD moments.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Well, Jon, i am a true supporter. I have all your CDs, but if i saw you in person, i would sing "Make Room." I gave my life to Christ this year and joined a church. May God Bless you!❤
This “normalcy” happens in other arenas as well. I used to be a “first lady”, and ppl would treat me differently than regular members almost like I was the First Lady of the US or something. All the while I’m thinking it’s just me. I eat like y’all, yell at my kids like yall, clean my house just like yall. One time I was checking out at the grocery store and ran into a member and they literally said, “can’t believe you do your own shopping”, blew my mind. I felt like I spent significant time trying to be like everyone else. Oh and maybe the reason others are wary of you is bcuz in a lot of instances you hold the power. If they mess up you could literally can them. I’m introverted too, and it has caused issues in my life. I’ve been called stuck up, conceited, mean, and bougie, and the amount of times I’ve been told by random ppl, usually men, to smile lol. Also been told I have rbf so there’s that.😂
13:00 There’s another breed of fans these days. I’m horrible at this…We don’t know any of your music, we just heard/saw an interview, liked it and since then just kept looking for other interviews. I just love to hear folks talk.
Just finished this episode. I love this gentleman. Jon, You showing your authentic side, continue to. I like this side of you. I haven’t met you, YET, but Lord willing I will. You have a warm, genuine spirit underneath that shyness (hence I know that feeling of shrinking down so no one will approach me. Can’t do that). On to episode 2!
I love the new podcast. This was amazing!! This truly showed the "human" side of you. Also, I love your music from all your albums, so if I met you, yes, I would sing some new and old songs. I felt God brought His music from heaven and blessed you to be the vessel to sing it. When I hear your music, I hear God and that is worth ALL your music being celebrated, even the old. Now, let me tell you why you are special...You ready???.......Because God says so. He gifted you with a talent to bless His people and others for His glory. Remember your special is not about you, but about God getting the glory. We are absolutely nothing without Him. As long as you stay humble as you are, God will continue to exalt you. Be blessed and I pray for God's anointing to flow freely through the rest of the tour for lives to be changed and they see Jesus in their midst. 🙏🏾🙏🏾
I love this real talk about Jon considering the well being of his fellow coworkers because that's stereotypical of artists to not care about others apart of their team. I'm glad you put that out there about yourself because that speaks volumes to your character and heart. At the end of day, you're human like any body else. I love this!
😂It's the pizza shop encounter for me, 😂Jon why you throwing shade, we die hard fans😂. If I meet you in Africa Namibia my song is gonna be "I love you" I am gonna take it back, like way back 😂😂. I Enjoyed this podcast.
Well I know now I am a top tier fan! Because I knew and have ALL the songs you mentioned!! 😊 But I am a fan of your songs because it's like a sermon with great beats and a great voice!
I feel you on that being told to smile situation .....I've always been teased or told how much I smile, so imagine my surprise when a Deacon walks up to me between Sunday School and church service and told me to smile, I look like, I had been stung by a bumble bee....excuse me for walking through a mainly empty sanctuary without a huge smile plastered on my face.....I just got irritated thinking about that again....LOL. I need to let that go.
Thoroughly enjoyed this! Y’all are hilarious and real at the same time, especially that conversation about telling ladies they should be smiling! I was a REGULAR target for this when I was younger and it would irritate me so bad because I’m thinking “Sir I just have things on my mind, leave me be!” 😂
Congrats on the new podcast and the tour, DC was amazing! I love that you are allowing people in to see the human behind the incredible gift and genius. Thanks for being authentic and doing it with a great sense of humor too 😂😂 Blessings🙏🏽
I HATE being told to smile, like sir I have an entire life that can be a lot. If I don’t smile right now, I’m just not smiling, it doesn’t mean that I’m mean, mad or unapproachable, I’m just not smiling this very second 😅 LAWD JESUS! Someone gets it lol! Thank you Jon, you’re doing the Lords work 🤣 great episode!
Jon you're hilarious! I love the new content and I agree with you that sometimes we can be hard on ourselves with the gifts we have. I was talking with my therapist about being nervous singing. She said it's about giving glory to God and not seeking the approval of others. However, we're human so we can work on our craft and know that God created us so He makes no mistake.
As a level 4 who had to claw, scrape, and fight to be released from the hold that “Why” had(and probably still has Chile) on me, “Gotta Have You” never-and i do mean NEVER- crosses my mind! It’s giving “My favorite Beyonce song is ‘Single Ladies’”🤣🤣🤣
Hello Mr. McReynolds. I just want to say I am inspired by Each Tier Level. Great seeing that there is another warm side of you ❤️There is a lady that would Love to sing a duet with you... Andrea Harris...You're such a great singer ❤️
This was great, thanks! The biggest revelation of character was that the “moment thing” stayed with you- so much so that you googled it afterwards….cause, make it make sense 😂 I completely overstand lol
I'm commenting based on the point am at in the video, well I first know you, I loved you not bcos you sing so great alone, I loved you cause of the authenticity of your personality, I don't know how to explain though but I see you beyond your songs and stuffs 💜
I so appreciate that the ‘smile’ thing happened to you. It’s so frustrating but when I’m scared to not smile when they say it because what if this man is insane and gets offended and does something lol
PREACH IT, PREACH IT AGAIN, PREACH IT ONE MORE TIME, AMEN ✝️ YES LORD YES LORD LORD YES LORD YES AMEN 🙏 RIGHT ON POINT, AMEN 🙏 SO SO TRUE AMEN 🙏 ✝️ 🙌 HALLELUJAH GLORY TO GOD ✝️ 🙏 🙌
Chile i ain’t even gone hold you… that six letters answer was clever af! But i definitely guessed “shorter than a lifetime” after the hint… idky i just did lol
Life is all about unpacking the wonderful blessings, wonders, and mysteries that God bestow upon us! It’s the sweet spot where we see the works of our Lord and Savior in our lives. It’s the space where we see that God uses us as vessels and it’s much bigger than us!!! It’s the Lord’s master plan and it is good with my soul!
So, Jonathan, this was a good listen, but from my experience, meeting you post concert 3x, you were genuinely welcoming which were not my expectations and my daughter's expectations, it was like you were an old friend we hadn't seen in years! You have never yet behaved entitled or cocky just a Gospel artist who showed the qualification of a Christian - humility. May God continue to bless you!
Can’t wait to meet this man of God!
I'm right there with you. Can't wait to meet him.
Enjoying this heart to heart conversation. It's grounded. Like oatmeal w/ raisins & cinnamon for breakfast. Thank you for this window.
❤ agreed
Yes Jon! One day, I was in deep thought while walking and this guy said to me “put a smile on that pretty face” and I was like “sir! You have no idea what’s going on. I’m trying to figure something out” I always smile!
Thank you for this!
Awww Jonathan is a introvert! I love how vulnerable he’s being rn 😊

Well, Jon, i am a true supporter. I have all your CDs, but if i saw you in person, i would sing "Make Room." I gave my life to Christ this year and joined a church. May God Bless you!❤
Seeing him at the meet and greet in Memphis he Seems like such a humble and down to earth person. God bless him. ❤️❤️

I think people dont want much from the artist. All They want is to feel you are as excited about seeing them as they are about seeing you
I've been looking for a good and wholesome podcast to listen to, and I think this is it❤
Great job!!! I’m looking forward for other interesting episodes.
I love this real talk about Jon considering the well being of his fellow coworkers because that's stereotypical of artists to not care about others apart of their team. I'm glad you put that out there about yourself because that speaks volumes to your character and heart. At the end of day, you're human like any body else. I love this!

Thoroughly enjoyed this! Y’all are hilarious and real at the same time, especially that conversation about telling ladies they should be smiling!
