Bio
Marty Covert
I would put Josh on my team in a heart beat! You will never find a more responsible and dedicated partner. He is a rare talent.
Forrest W. Jones
Josh is the best listener I know. For a long time, I thought he was quiet - until one day he was able to connect with me in a way that few others have been able to – and I realized that he had been listening, truly listening, to what I was saying for quite some time. This is a great gift, and one which I have since been trying to emulate. This gift gives Josh the ability to have profound influence over people, conversations, and ideas. His insights are timely and brilliant, as he has often been following any given story for much longer than the rest of those in the conversation. He also has a wonderful way with people because he can connect at a much deeper level than most others – because of his true interest in their well-being, their story and their interests. This gift invites a reciprocity in spirit that makes Josh a natural leader and a trusted confidant. Josh would be a great asset to any organization or firm. Please feel free to reach out to me with questions you may have, I would be glad to discuss this recommendation.

I lead Jesus Film Project, a ministry of Cru, to develop new media and strategies to share the story of Jesus around the globe. Everything we do is rooted in the belief that everyone, everywhere can have a life changing encounter with Jesus if followers of Christ work together. Since 1979, Jesus Film Project has helped denominations, mission organizations, historical churches and individuals reach more than 3 billion people, resulting in more than 2 million new churches established and over 42 million people in 2017 indicating that they are new followers of Jesus. The "JESUS" film holds a Guinness World Record for most translations, currently at 1656 as of June 2018. Show less
