Passionate, intense, authentic, and relevant. Josh Weidmann could be described in a number of ways, but the best description might simply be that Josh is ordinary. He is an ordinary man who God is choosing to use in extraordinary ways.

Since his teenage years, Josh has been speaking to thousands of people, but not because of his own talent or some amazing life story.

He is merely a young man who God continually uses as a voice among youth. Josh’s laser-like passion for the cross and Christ beams from every part of his life as he strives to present the truth to his generation in order to help them find a relationship with God through Jesus Christ.

In the first year of Josh’s traveling ministry he spoke on opening night of DCLA 2000. That summer he also spoke at Creation Festival East and West, as well as Spirit West Coast. In the midst of many other speaking engagements he serves as the leader for Revival Generation, a student-led ministry, and has held over six evangelistic events around the country.

In prior years, as Josh finished high school and led Revival Generation, he helped other students start prayer groups on their campuses. During his junior year, in 1999, the shooting at Columbine occurred just four miles from Josh’s high school. Because of the ministry he was involved with in Littleton, Josh became actively involved in the aftermath of the tragedy. That year he was able to present the gospel through more than forty different media appearances around the world including NBC, ABC, CBS, Germany TV, and Focus on the Family. It became clear that God was using Josh to make Christ known among his generation.

Since then Josh has continued to speak across the nation. He has spoken with different ministries such as Reach Out, First Priority, Youth for Christ, and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. He has been blessed with the opportunity to be the main stage speaker for events such as the Louisiana Baptist Convention youth conference, Wisconsin and Indiana United Methodist youth gatherings, YFC chapter conferences, and many more. Josh has spoken to parents of teens as well as youth workers and, in addition to his rigorous speaking schedule, currently attends Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, Illinois. In 2005, Josh released his first book entitled Dad, If You Only Knew... (Multnomah Publishers). He is also the host of the radio commentary, Honest to God Radio. Josh is heard in the greater Chicago area on the Moody Broadcasting Network and on the internet through the Honest to God Radio podcast.

When Josh steps on stage, or speaks on the radio, it is clear that his life and words are in total abandonment to Christ. Whether it be at a weeklong camp, a three-day conference, or a one-night event, Josh is always passionate in his sharing from God’s Word. He teaches authentically and applies the Bible relevantly. His intense focus on the cross casts the vision to every audience that they, too, can live to know God through Christ.

The ways God is using Josh are truly extraordinary.
