A plain message for a loud world.

Josiah Kell grew up in a small town in the Oklahoma panhandle, the youngest of four, in a house where the radio was always on. He drove a delivery truck through his twenties and talked about his faith with anyone who would sit still at a loading dock.

A friend invited him to say a few words at a Friday night youth gathering, and then to another one. Within a few years he was traveling most weekends, always with the same plan: arrive early, set up the chairs, say something true and stay until the last person has gone home.

Today Josiah speaks at city-wide nights, church weekends, campus events and leaders gatherings across the country. He keeps the schedule short on purpose, so he can answer invitations himself and be home for his family.

He and his wife live in Tulsa, Oklahoma, with three kids and a truck that is older than all of them.

Nobody gets talked into hope. They get invited to it, one honest sentence at a time.
