Josh is a ministry veteran with more than 20 years of pastoring under his belt. He has been a youth pastor, executive pastor, and church planter. He is the author of the Hope Study and dealing hope to everyone who needs it.

We follow Jesus together in the rhythms of everyday life, learning to live in His way and invite others into it. Our hope is to see lives changed — not through hype, but through presence, love, and a long walk in the same direction.

We are just two normal guys living this Jesus life and hoping to make a difference in this world. We want you to have hope, find freedom, and experience life to the full.

A relational approach to helping people find hope and keep it through meeting practical needs.
Elpizo is the biblical Greek word for hope — and that’s what we’re building, one community at a time. Project Elpizo exists to create spaces where people can grow, heal, and belong. Our long-term vision includes child development centers, nonprofit grocery stores, and community counseling hubs — all rooted in the belief that hope becomes real when it takes on flesh in everyday life.

Relationships matter. We make tools that help them thrive.
Something powerful happens when you're truly seen, known, and loved. We create space for that kind of connection—with God and with people.
Our work centers on hope, not as an idea, but as a way of life. Through creative tools like Unanswered Cases, The Hope Study, Escapades, and future Escape Rooms we help people step into deeper relationship, meaningful questions, and the transforming presence of Jesus.
