Hi, my name is Josh. I grew up in western Washington in a loving Christian home. In 1999, I graduated from LIFE Pacific College in San Dimas, CA, with a BA in Biblical Studies and a minor in Biblical Languages. Later I did graduate work in Biblical Studies at Trinity Western University in Langley, Canada and was also an adjunct professor at Pacific Life Bible College in Surrey, Canada for one year.

Marilyn and I met at college and got married in 1999. We have two daughters who are the joy of our life. Aside from my family and my God, my two greatest joys are reading a good book and enjoying the all the glories of this world God has made - from sunsets to good food and drink with friends.

Since 2007, I've been the the pastor of The Gathering C

Hi all!

I know I haven’t exactly been a faithful blogger, but I’m going to take another stab at it with a new blog called “The Craft of Writing.” It will focus on helping writers, as well as giving updates about my writing career. This blog will be directed to both Christians and non-Christians.

Important: Because this is so different than the newsletter/blog you signed up for, I’m not importing t

“The highest calling you can find is the one God gave you.”
Josh Kelley, Radically Normal: You Don't Have to Live Crazy to Follow Jesus

“It’s amazing how much I learned from other Christians once I stopped thinking I was better than them.”
Josh Kelley, Radically Normal: You Don't Have to Live Crazy to Follow Jesus

“God loves his creation (just read Job 38 – 41), and we should feel humbled and privileged that he entrusted it to our care. Rather than treat this world like a hotel room that someone else will clean up, we should treat it like a lakeside cabin that our boss let us borrow for the weekend. How we treat it shows God how much he can trust us with his other things.”
Josh Kelley, Radically Normal: You Don't Have to Live Crazy to Follow Jesus
