After John was arrested, Jesus went to Galilee, preaching the good news of God: “The timeis fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe in the good news!”Mark 1:14-15 (CSB) Dear Friends, In studying the book of Mark this spring, I find myself returning again and…
Getting Into the Body
Dear friends, Every man in Joshua Fellowship has their own story and goals, but we like to joke that there is one thing we all have in common: pornography. This widespread addiction both fuels into and develops out of our sexual brokenness, fostering a destructive negative cycle. As a ministry…
Feelings or God’s Word?
“Why are there 5 different responses to LBGTQ+? Isn’t God’s truth one?” Ministry Fair Attendee Dear friends, Has it ever bothered you why Christians don’t seem to agree when it comes to LGBTQ+ issues? Why do we have some so-called “Christians” who hold up signs saying, “God Hates Fags,” while…
God’s Beautiful Design for Sexuality

Dear Friends, In the early 2010s, Outpost followed God’s lead to create a new support group, which we named Elijah Company. Rather than ministering to those seeking wholeness in their sexuality and identity, this group was designed to minister to the families and friends of strugglers. As the group began,…
The Witness of Courage: RHN Reflections
A couple weeks ago, I had the privilege to attend my first in-person HOPE Conference. The HOPE conference, which is held by Restored Hope Network (RHN)*, is a wonderful time of worship, testimonies, and receiving from the Lord. As one of the attendees put it, it is quite the experience…
