PODCAST| Behind-The-Scenes
By Pastor Vinnie & Jonathan Martin
Listen to a rare behind-the-scenes episode of Simply Devotion.
Life happens! But we are back at it making more podcast episodes to forever keep you connected to the heart of devotion; Jesus!
After many unexpected life events and a long unexplained hiatus, Jon and Vinnie return with an extra special episode of Simply Devotion! In this special “Behind The Scenes” episode Jon and Vinnie will give you a deep personal insight into their lives and ministries and explain to you why they have been away so long and what to expect next.
This is not your regular formatted podcast episode but rather this is a time to sit back with a good cup of coffee and get caught up with old friends. Not only is it a catch-up opportunity but it is also a more open-ended format to hopefully help our podcast listeners understand and grasp pastor Vinnie and Jon as people with real lives, complex ministries, and interests outside of what you normally hear in the podcast. We are calling this Behind-The-Scenes because we are going where we have not gone before in this season. We are going beyond the content and into the lives of the content creators themselves.
Simply Devotion will continue to move forward and we are super thankful for all our faithful listeners who have reached out to us to ask when the next episode is coming. It is because of you all, it is here!
Let’s get caught up!

About Vinnie & Jon:
Pastor Vinnie
Vinnie is a full-time Ordained Pastor at Vienna Seventh-day Adventist Church in Vienna VA located in the beautiful Northern Virginia / DC area. He is happily married to TinaLynn for over 30 years and they have an eight-year-old son, Jose. They live, work, and Jose goes to school, on the Vienna Campus as a part of an incarnational approach to ministry. They believe in an integrated ministry approach that is balanced with a full and abundant balanced life. Core to being balanced is being centered in Pastor Vinnie’s favorite Gospel; the Gospel of John, and his favorite Bible verse in that Gospel; John 10:10. “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I have come that they may have life, and have it in all its fullness (abundantly)“. Living life “in all its fullness” means both being incarnational and at the same time authentically human and having fun! He describes himself as a “Child of God. Husband. Daddy. Work in progress. Follower. Leader. Sci-fi-junkie.” In addition to family life, pastoring, and working on a doctorate at Fuller Seminary, Vinnie shares the Gospel, and his passion to equip others with the power of Jesus in numerous interactive ways through www.SimplyVinnie.com
