Josh Weidmann

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 spoke on opening night of DCLA 2000 at Creation Festival East and West, as well as Spirit West Coast. 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.
