About this listen
In this episode of The Table, Josh shares the story of where his calling truly began — not in a classroom or a church, but at a Christian camp where he saw a student’s eyes light up for Christ for the very first time. That moment planted a burden in him that he couldn’t shake, even as he stepped into college unsure of what ministry path he should take.
Josh talks honestly about switching majors, trying to convince himself that God wanted whatever he wanted, and the humbling season that finally made him slow down and listen. He reflects on the burden God gave him for students who feel unseen or drift away from their faith, and how that burden shaped his direction more than any major ever could.
Rooted in his life verse, Philippians 1:6, this episode explores how calling often begins quietly — in joy, in burden, and in subtle moments God uses to get our attention. Pull up a chair as Josh tells the story of how God first stirred his heart for youth ministry and what he learned in the messy process of figuring it all out.
