Testimonials

Caught my attention…

Great points, great research, good balance and excellent presentation. That whole idea about the digital mission field really caught my attention.

Verner Drost

Engaging and often humorous

Josh has an amazing ability to communicate with clarity and passion. While Josh’s material is always thorough and well researched, it is also delivered in an engaging and often humorous way. I would not hesitate to have Josh as part of the speaking roster no matter what the age group.

Ideas spark…

Truly blessed with the opportunity to work alongside Josh at our conference this past weekend.  To see young faces light up, and ideas spark in the minds of our youth is something beyond words.  His honesty and yet easy-going familiarity while speaking to even the larger gatherings of youth is admirable, and I myself walked away with some new perspectives!
Jesse Dueck
