The Author
Jonathan Brink
I am the Senior Editor at Provoketive. I am the author of the recently published, Discovering the God Imagination. I also serve as Senior Editor for Civitas Press, a boutique publishing firm specializing in inspiring and redemptive ideas. I am developing a new model for publishing and seek to create new opportunities for fresh and creative voices.
Occasionally, I speak on issues of justice, postmodern theology, and living a life in the way of Jesus. I leads workshops on The Practice of Love and Exploring a Postmodern Gospel at BeADisciple.com.
I am a son, a husband, and a father. I live in Folsom, Ca, with my beautiful wife and amazing three children.
This month Provoketive Magazine is pleased to announce we’re trying something new. In partnership with some great authors, we’re hosting a Synchroblog on the subject of Hope. January is often a space to create new dreams and so we’re leaving the topic open and to your imagination. We believe the power of voice has tremendous capacity to inspire and give hope to people. A Synchroblog is a collective response to a particular topic. Everyone writes about the same issue and then links to each other’s post. The deadline for participating is January 18th, 2012.
Instructions For Participating:
- Sign up to be a writer on Provoketive. Click here and fill out the form. We’ll send you all the instructions to add your post.
- Write and submit a 500-1,000 word post on the subject of hope. Some things to consider writing about include: what gives you hope, what is your hope, how did you gain your hope, or a story of hope in your life. You may post the article on your own blog if you wish, but schedule it for January 18th.
- All posts must be submitted to Provoketive by January 17th.
- Check back on the day of publication and grab the link list to everyone’s post. Publish the link list on your blog.
Feel free to ask questions if you need clarification. We’re really excited about this and look forward to seeing what inspires you.

Got a couple of questions. 1) I’m not currently a write for Provoketive. How much of a time committment is it?
2) I want to write on the topic of hope and I have an idea that i can develop; however, I’d need to get the okay to write about the situation from other people. If I sign up to write and then they say “no, please don’t post this piece”, am I still obligated to post something?
