My name is Joshua Thomas, and if you’re reading this, you probably don’t know who I am (and that’s okay!). I’m a husband, father, and pastor with a heartbeat for helping people discover their purpose and a passion for reaching the next generation. I recently received my Masters of Divinity Degree in Church Ministry and Church Leadership from Liberty University with an undergraduate degree in Communication Studies from UNCG. I currently serve and work at Hope Church in Burlington, North Carolina.

I started this little blog a while back as a way to express what God has been teaching me in a practical and real world way. I never liked boring writers or speakers, so I wanted to write from my personal experiences and mix it with an easy to understand format. The same is true today. Each week I tackle a topic that God has been teaching me and I share it. I’m a book/movie/TV/comic lover who happens to know a lot about art, and hip-hop/Ska/punk music. Because of my weirdo tastes, I like to incorporate these elements with topics that affect us and can often be very difficult to understand.

So, search around a bit! I have a wide range of posts over the years and I’d love for you to check it out!

Be sure to peruse the links on my site:

• Books I’m Reading: Here you’ll find books I currently am reading as well as some recommendations if you enjoy learning more.
• FAQ: If you want to know more about me in a fun self interview I did, check it out here. It’ll be worth your time if I do say so myself.
• Work With Me: If you need a speaker for an event or would love some leadership coaching, I would love to work with you and support your ministry. Head to this page and fill out the form to begin a conversation with me.

A note about my blog, I will never (and have never) use generative AI in any of my posts or blog images that I create. I believe Christ has gifted me with a creative mind for writing and designing, and using a tool that steals from others and is harmful to the environment goes against the convictions God has placed on my heart.

I write my own words and use Canva to design my images. For the stock photos I pull, I utilize Unsplash, which has free images to use and also does allow the usage of AI.

I hope you enjoy my little corner of the internet, and remember that the best way to help out is to share posts with your friends!
