Yet through this crucible of suffering, Joe made the hardest choice—forgiveness. He recommitted to his relationship with Jesus not despite his pain, but because of it. This wasn't a spiritual bypass, but a gritty, day-by-day decision to find meaning in the midst of overwhelming loss.
"I know what it's like to feel abandoned by God while trying to be strong for everyone else. I know what it's like when prayer feels empty and faith feels like a cruel joke."
Today, Joe helps men navigate their own darkness not from textbook theory, but from hard-earned reality. His approach to healing broken marriages, processing grief, and reconnecting with purpose comes from someone who has been shattered and rebuilt himself through faith and raw determination.
"If I can find my way back from where I've been, there's hope for you too—no matter how far gone things might seem."
