Summary

SummaryI’m Josh, a 34-year-old former Marine who grew up fatherless and carried anger into my marriage. After leaving the Corps in 2012, alcohol and marijuana plunged me into the darkest valley—seizures nearly took my life. 🌑 But when a sister on my porch shared Jesus with my wife, everything changed. We stumbled into Church on the Rock, and God’s love began to heal my shame and lust. He led me to start a small men’s group, which grew into a thriving ministry—brothers grilling, praying, and serving together. Today I’ve been sober over 600 days, I’m a better husband and father, and I stand in awe of God’s restoring grace. 🙌
