Summary

Joe grew up idolizing his proโ€‘wrestler father and found escape in wrestling after his parentsโ€™ sudden divorce at age nine. When his dad unexpectedly passed away when Joe was fifteen, the grief threatened to destroy himโ€”but wrestling school kept him from darker paths. Yet everything changed at an Upper Room service, during an altar call for the โ€œIf I Die Before I Wakeโ€ show. Compelled by the Holy Spirit, Joe prayed and felt the crushing weight of loss lift off his shoulders, replaced by deep peace and new purpose. Today heโ€™s served over a decade in youth leadership, outreach, and nursingโ€‘home ministriesโ€”helping others discover their worth in Christ just as he did.
