Speakers
Josiah Jones
Speaker and Church Leadership Consultant
Fort Worth, Texas
Josiah grew up in Fort Worth, TX where sports were his passion! At a young age he began to chase everything under the sun thinking he would find life in sports, relationships, alcohol and pornography. Jesus arrested his heart during his junior year in college, while still chasing baseball and the world looking for fulfillment. He saw that the things he was chasing were only bringing more death. He was finally broken over his sin and Jesus saved and restored him. He can’t stop sharing where life is found!
