Maybe I’ve mentioned before that I love my husband to the moon and back- I did move to Iowa and then Scotland with him.    Besides his boyish good looks and sense of humor, one of my favorite things about Josh is his commitment to serving the church.  Whether he was a college student, an electrical engineer, a seminary student, a pastor, or now a PhD student, he has been committed to teaching the Gospel in the church.  Josh truly believes in equipping lay people to “do theology” (although he probably wouldn’t phrase it that way) so that their commitment to Christ is founded in truth and therefore sustains them til the end.

Suited up for preaching.

The Gentle King

As a PhD student, it is easy to become so engrossed with reading and writing that you overlook serving the local church, which is a shame.  So, I have been humbled to see Josh step up even as a busy student and help out with young adults and even at the pulpit.  This past Sunday, he preached on the Gentle King, and it was awesome.  I feel like the Lord really used him to show the Gospel as presented by a gentle king.  I hope you’ll get a chance to listen. He is preaching again in a week, and I’ll be sure to link up.

PhD

If you’re interested, Josh’s doctoral thesis (they call it a thesis here, and not a dissertation) is on the eternal generation of the Son.  Essentially, it deals with the relationship of the Father and the Son within the Trinity.  Mormons and JW’s, beware.  He will defend the deity of Christ and the Trinity in a way you wouldn’t believe.
