Dr. Jonathan Welton

Dr. Welton is an anomaly. As a Christian leader, his journey is marked by deep intellect, a passion for teaching Scripture and a love for the Bride of Christ. With a robust educational background which includes a Master’s degree in Biblical Studies and a Doctorate in Ministry, he has always studied to show himself approved.

Having served in youth ministry from 1998 to 2008, Dr. Welton honed his leadership skills and passion for guiding young minds towards spiritual growth. His leadership experiences at Youth For Christ, Camp Hickory Hill, and other organizations equipped him to connect with young people and make a positive difference in their lives.

Transitioning to an international lecturing ministry from 2008 to 2018, Dr. Welton traveled extensively, sharing his insights in over 35 countries. This global exposure prepared him for founding the Welton Academy in 2013, an online school that attracted thousands of students from across the United States and around the world.

But Dr. Welton didn’t stop there. He led archaeological tours with his students to historical sites in Egypt, Israel, Jordan, and Turkey; enriching his teachings with a deeper understanding of biblical history and culture.

Throughout his career, Dr. Welton has been mentored by respected figures in the ministry, such as Dr. Randy Clark, Prophet Dennis Cramer, and Dr. Harold Eberle. His commitment to continuous learning and growth is reflected in his extensive body of 14 published works, which cover a wide range of theological and spiritual topics.

His most notable works include, “The School of the Seers,” which was featured on Sid Roth's "It's Supernatural" TV show. “Raptureless, an optimistic view of the end-times,” which has had a major impact on the church worldwide. And “Understanding the Whole Bible,” which introduced a system known as Better Covenant Theology (BCT) which makes sense of the whole Bible and removes all fear of the Father.

His accomplishments have been acknowledged by such things as earning the National Herald of Christ Award and being featured in countless media outlets. His calling was prophetically affirmed through ordination and later being commissioned as an apostle by esteemed leaders in the Christian community.

In 2018, Dr. Welton faced a major turning point when his narcissism and mistreatment of his staff came to light, leading to the end of his ministry, his school, and nearly his marriage. Over the next five years, he underwent a profound transformation with the help of Danny Silk and the Bulletproof Husband program. In 2024, he’s celebrating 20 years of marriage, having inspired countless other marriages and leaders to be healed through his journey of responsibility, accountability, and deep emotional work.

Transformed by his experience with Bulletproof, Dr. Welton became their head coach for a time and authored their best-selling book, The Bulletproof Husband. Today he continues to innovate and impact lives by combining biblical teaching with practical coaching, equipping individuals with spiritual wisdom and leadership skills. Dr. Jonathan Welton stands out as a dynamic and influential figure in the world of Christian ministry. He has been known as a scholar, theologian, apostle, professor, and spiritual father; his life has been an example to others, and at times a warning.
