Live With Purpose.
Walk With Confidence.
I deeply care about the people I communicate with and the way I communicate with them. Every time I have the opportunity to present, whether to 10 people or 1,000, I bring the same passion and the same conviction that what is being shared matters. No matter who is in the room, my hope is that they walk away feeling even just a little more confident, a little more hopeful, and a little more equipped for the journey ahead.
Speaking Topics
Addiction Recovery & Freedom
For churches, organizations, and families ready to move beyond silence on addiction - from substance use to sexual addiction to social media, and more. With a graduate degree in human services counseling, 7 years working under federal grants to reduce youth substance use, and a deep personal investment in understanding these spaces, Josh brings honesty, hope, and a practical path toward freedom.
Communication & Public Speaking
Everyone has the ability to communicate effectively; some need to refine it, some need to discover it. Drawing from a decade of speaking to audiences ranging from youth to adults, and hundreds of sermons, workshops, and trainings, Josh helps individuals and groups find their voice and make a lasting impact when they speak.
With over a decade of preaching experience across churches and faith communities of all sizes, from youth groups to adult congregations, Josh grounds every message in scripture, brings it to life through honest personal stories, and sends people away with practical application they can actually live out, not just hear.
Biblical Teaching & Preaching
Mental Health & Emotional Resilience
Drawing from both professional training and personal experience navigating anxiety, Josh brings an honest and grounded perspective to mental health and emotional resilience. For individuals, organizations, and communities ready to break the silence around mental health, Josh will equip you with practical tools and the courage to embrace your own journey.
Additional Topics Available
In a culture that defines us by what we do, who we follow, and how we measure up, it's easy to lose sight of who we actually are. Josh helps individuals cut through the noise of comparison and achievement to rediscover a sense of purpose and identity that isn't dependent on performance. Whether you're feeling lost, stuck, or simply pulled in too many directions, this conversation will help you focus more on who you are, rather than what you do.
Purpose & Identity
Leaders are not born, they are developed. Leaders serve, cast vision, act with intentionality, and create the unity and collaboration they want to see in their teams. Through years of hands-on leadership experience, including transforming a resistant youth leadership program into one bursting with collaboration and unity, Josh brings real-world lessons that stick. For anyone looking to grow in their leadership, individually or as a team, you'll walk away better equipped to lead and serve those around you.
Leadership & Influence
Personal growth doesn't just occur; it is built with intentionality. And more often than not, our greatest growth comes through failure. Drawing from his own journey of overcoming fear, self-doubt, and anxiety, Josh reframes failure not as something to avoid but as the very thing that shapes us. For individuals, teams, and communities ready to grow, you'll walk away motivated and equipped with practical tools to pursue growth with intention.
Personal Growth
For parents, youth organizations, schools, and churches looking to address the real challenges facing today's young people, from substance use and pornography to gambling and social media. Drawing from over a decade of experience in youth ministry, prevention, and youth leadership development, Josh equips parents, educators, and youth workers with the insight and tools they need to reduce risk and build resilience in the young people they serve.
