Text Brian & Shawna (Fan Mail)
Josh shares his travel stories, including a humorous roadside stop in Idaho, but he also opens up to discuss his battle against social anxiety and alcohol addiction, and celebrating seven years of sobriety thanks to the support of friends, counseling, and his wife. We address the importance of mental health, breaking the stigma within the Christian community, and the role of medication in managing anxiety. Josh’s performance of "God's Not Mad at You" leaves us with an uplifting message of hope and healing, reminding us that love and support are always within reach, even in our darkest moments.
