Today we welcome Josh Taylor as our guest.

We met Josh over 17 years ago when our family was involved with Christian Youth Theater Spokane. Josh was an immediate light in all of our lives, greeting us with warm open arms and a big heart as soon as he met us. Among others at CYT, he welcomed us and made CYT feel like home. We were always so impressed by how outgoing and charismatic Josh was, but mostly by how well and how deeply he loved others. Josh is truly one of the kindest people that we have the privilege of knowing.

In our years with CYT, we once asked Beth, Josh’s wonderful mother, why and how Josh was the way that he was. She told us that it was a choice that he made, to be like Jesus. The way he welcomed everyone into his heart is proof of that conviction that he had from the time he was just a boy.

In his adult years, Josh has worked in ministry at Eastern Washington University in Cheney Washington working to fellowship and support young adults through the transformative time of their college years. His inspiration for this work came through his devotion to Jesus Christ, as well as his own experience as a young adult having similar support through those that came before him in this form of ministry. While he loves his work, he has found that his true overarching calling is to create gathering spaces for God’s children to come together in love and support.

In his work, he has shared the walk with many people of all different perspectives, and he feels that through these other perspectives, he now is able to see life through a variety of lenses, deepening faith, understanding, compassion, and appreciation for all people.

Josh is married to his sweetheart, Petra, and together, they are doing what they can to share the light of God, and be his hands whenever and wherever they are able. Josh believes that we are all able to do this work regardless of our career choices, occupation, or life path.

Josh continues to be a beautiful inspiration to us and others through how he chooses to live, and we are so excited for you to meet him through this episode.
