    I am a 71 year old grandfather and have been blessed by your music for the past couple of years. I can't stop listening to your music and lyrics. They speak to all generations. You are my companion when I exercise every morning at the gym at 4 AM before going to work.
    Please plan concerts in Pennsylvania in the future.

    Morning Light has become an exceptionally important song to me. On a day when I felt desperation regarding a family matter I got in our truck and was turning on a Spotify playlist when this song came on. I searched my playlist later and couldn’t find Morning light on it or any other playlist. I know God is telling me‘It’s gonna be all right and all will be made well’. I’ve had this song on repeat and memorized the words that all apply to our situation. Thank you for Morning Light!

      Have you ever watched/read the case for Christ? It's a true story about a very honored, respected, award winning atheist journalist from Chicago who decided to write a piece on how Jesus isn't who He is. It's very fact based. The book of course is better and more in depth then the movie but the movie is still good too. He really DID die for our sins and is the only way to receive forgiveness for our sin debt and The way to the Father. Hope all is well..

I am so thankful now and a huge fan! God’s definitely blessed me in hearing your songs and I know and can see the blessings in you by them! Glory to God in all things! Thanks!

God has used what you do to assist me through very dark times. Thank you for sharing your music for free as well. Our Lord Jesus Christ Bless you and yours.

    Saw this dude live in 2011. Best concert I’ve been to. Also heard him speak at the conference, prior to the performance. Very humble guy. I had the opportunity to talk with him, but was too nervous. It was a weird point in my life where I stopped singing/creating, but listening to his story, then, struck a fire to write again. Anyway, it’s good to hear the “origin story” of the artist. Definitely inspiring!

    I enjoyed this. I’m wondering if Josh had a rough childhood and poor support network growing up. If so, this gives me hope. So many people I know, myself included, were dealt a poor hand growing up. Finding hope and success feels forever out of reach for people like me. I’d like to know more about his testimony. Josh’s music is the soundtrack to my soul.

    I first tuned in with jacaranda and it's still one of my favorite albums across all artists. I remember going to one of your shows in DC a few years ago and you put a deep breathe into the mic right with the beat and right into a break and somehow the room breathed. I've wondered if you knew what you were doing when you did that, because it was phenomenal experience, and I remember people looking around and wondering what just happened.

"People all around looking for the sound buried under ground, all over the world...????" I believe this song is prophetic for this hour. Is there anywhere I can go to get this song, or just listen to it? Your music has been prophetic to my life and has gotten me through some valleys during my life. Blessings and thank you.

    I lied to my happiness as I cry in my sorrows. 😢
    As my subconscious is at an unrest 25/8, Sitting back in a physical loneliness, trying to think of places were to connect, only to have failure once again. I find it very scary nowadays in public. Where Ignorance excites, and my anger arises to thoughts of the Holy angels. Communication is so discomBabylonationalism it seems, as some High school friends cannot communicate with the same language. Businesses speaking of a product best in the world, only to find it in A recall, because it was a package of deception. And then you talk to the professionals. Our so-called leaders and teachers, our influencers that speak from the side of there face. One manipulation after another in mind. Asking themselves, How can “I” profit off this. As the lawyer will forget they are in deep water, when throwing a solid gold life jacket. Surrounded in their lies of pride. And Yet, just another cry from a lost soul.
    I lied to my happiness as I cried in my sorrows.
    What have we done to this world. And who will and can bringing children into this world, as it is only gonna get worse. As you see the demons using scripture. They prove them self right to the unlearn. A cycle that will have an end.
    And my only thought that I sit back and “relax” on is, my place of a spiritual connection, where I can learn how to🥰😇 is and will always be 😇“ anyways, come Lord Jesus” 😢
    I always find out, With you, I am not alone With my Salvation. 😇
    I love your Spirit 🥰😇
    Thank you Jesus. 🤗
