About Josh

Josh is equal parts Singer-Songwriter, Anglican/Episcopal Priest, and Licensed Mental Health Counselor. He holds both an M.Div. and M.A. in Counseling from Reformed Theological Seminary, a Certificate in Anglican Studies from Nashotah House Theological Seminary, and is a Senior Fellow for the Colson Center. With 20 years of touring experience, thousands of albums sold and downloaded, and well over half a million digital streams in recent years alone, Josh has cultivated a faithful following of energetic listeners that few independent artists can boast. After early releases like “About A Boy” (2003), Self-Titled (2005), and "Underneath The Armor” (2008), Josh's fans funded his 2012 "Count The Stars EP,” with multi-award winning producer, Ed Cash. Josh followed this with a country-infused pop album of love songs, "Somehow I Knew,” and two collections of retuned hymns and songwriter originals: "The Birds Their Carols Raise” (2015) and “Come Away From Rush & Hurry” (2018). In late 2022 Josh went back into the studio for an upcoming singer-songwriter six-song EP scheduled for release in 2023. Originally from Chattanooga, TN Josh now lives in Orlando, FL. where he serves as Canon Priest at the Cathedral Church of Saint Luke.

“For me, songwriting is a mystery. I think I wrote songs, in the beginning, when I was a kid, because in some sense I “had” to…in order to exorcise difficult emotions, or maybe just to feel them more deeply. But as the years went on I continued to write songs as a way to communicate with people. I felt like I was able to communicate more of what I wanted to say through a song than through direct conversation. These days I write music, still, in order to feel and communicate, but also to play, like a child.”

...Soul care requires hard work, sincere grief, and profound laughter. Placing one’s self on the gurney of personal growth is physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually exhausting. Effective soul care always, always involves grief because grief and soul care are both interested in the same things: movement, change, and transformation. But if you stopped by Journeys Counseling Center where Mindy and I have an office, you probably wouldn’t believe the amount of laughter sneaking out from the otherwise soundproof counseling rooms.

Christian worship is about participating in the life of God himself: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  In the liturgy of the Church you and I come face to face with our Creator, Redeemer, and Sustainer.  As we participate in God's life, we are changed by it.  We sing it.  We pray it.  Our bodies move with its rhythms: making the sign of the cross, bowing, kneeling, the raising of hands.  This is particularly clear in the Sacraments of the Church: we feel the grace of God pouring over our heads in the waters of Baptism.  We taste, touch, and smell the grace of God in the Eucharist, the real presence of Jesus Christ, his body and blood, soul and divinity.
