Josh Ellison, a fourth-generation faith leader, was born to be a pastor. As a student pastor at Church of the Highlands in Columbus, Georgia, he helped build a community passionate about God and deeply welcoming to struggling teens searching for meaning and hope. Now, as he prepares to take on a lead pastor role in his hometown of Naples, Florida, Josh reflects on what he’s learned, both as the son of an influential minister and as a pastor himself. In a conversation
with The Redeemed founder Paul Amos, he shares about the values and vision that will shape his leadership at his new church.
