Words truly can’t express how I feel after the training seminar and outreach we led for Students for Life of America staff. I’ve never felt this personally fulfilled in my professional life as I feel right now. God answered all my prayers in a bigger way than I could have imagined.
The outreach was AMAZING. The staff were all great ambassadors. 8 people went from pro-choice to pro-life in 3 hours! (As far as I know, that’s a pro-life record!)
This organization has access to 762 campus clubs, and they want to help those clubs learn to ask good questions with an open heart, listen to understand, and find genuine common ground when possible. I’m over the moon about this organization and the impact they’re going to have.
We’re going to change the perception of the pro-life movement. People in the future will know pro-life people by our love. I’ve never felt so strongly that I can be a part of something that will end abortion.
Josh worked in the pro-life movement starting at age 18. After 12 years of full-time pro-life work he launched Equal Rights Institute to maximize his impact on the movement.
A sought-after speaker, Josh has spoken for more than 29,000 people in six countries and in 25 of the 50 states.
Josh’s primary passion is helping pro-life people to be more persuasive when they communicate with pro-choice people. That means ditching faulty rhetoric and tactics and embracing arguments that hold up under philosophical scrutiny.
He has publicly debated leaders from Planned Parenthood, the National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL), Georgians for Choice, and one of the leading abortion facilities in Atlanta.
Josh also wants to bring relational apologetics to the pro-life movement. “Some pro-choice people will not change their mind after one conversation on a college campus. Some of them will only change their mind after dozens of conversations with a person they trust in the context of friendship.”
Josh is formerly the host of a globally-heard podcast turned radio/TV show, Life Report and the Equipped for Life Podcast. He’s also written dozens of articles for LifeNews.com and the ERI blog. He has been interviewed by the Washington Post, NPR, and Focus on the Family.
He directed the first 40 Days for Life campaign in Fresno, resulting in up to 60 lives saved.
Josh has been happily married to his wife, Hannah, for 19 years. They have three sons, Noah, William, and Eli. They live in Charlotte, North Carolina.
