About Me
“I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full” – Jesus

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.

"Love the Lord your God with all your passion and prayer and intelligence... Love others as well as you love yourself."

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.

Pastor
"Hello. Hello. Hello. We're just two normal dudes, trying to live this Jesus life."
We aren’t a theology podcast, though we talk about theology. We aren’t a relationship podcast, though we talk about relationships. We aren’t a self-help podcast, though we would love to help you with yourself.

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.

Co-Host

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.

Board Chair

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.

Well-designed brands and websites have power. Design affects mood. Colors send signals. Shapes express safety, trust, or even authority. The right design choices elevate your brand and connect you to your audience.
