I would be a lost cause without the Immaculata. Mary brought me to her Son and saved my life. Without her, I wouldn't have a faith and might not even be here today.
A lot of people say faith is part of their life—but shouldn’t faith be your life? I believe we were made for more—way more. We’re called to be so filled with the Holy Spirit that divine union with God isn’t just a lofty ideal, but a real, living relationship—right here, right now. No matter your vocation, no matter your past, no matter your circumstances—holiness isn’t just possible. It’s your calling. Long story short: Holiness is real. The only way to get there is through Jesus, and the way to Jesus is through the Immaculata and the Holy Spirit.
A husband and father first, Joshua holds bachelors and masters degrees in Theology from Franciscan University of Steubenville, and has completed PhD-level coursework in Systematic Theology at Ave Maria University. He spent years in ministry as the founder of an apostolate in New York City and later as Director of Evangelization for the Diocese of Venice, FL.
Now, he helps to build up both souls and structures. His “St. Joseph job” is in real estate development, while his passion for theology continues through his work as a technical editor, author, and curriculum writer. He’s edited more than 30 theology textbooks and other Catholic books, and has contributed to diocesan institutes, graduate programs, and national publications.
Joshua is the author of Knowing the Unknown God: A Practical Guide to How the Holy Spirit Will Make You Holy, and his most recent book, Led by the Immaculata, which unveils St. Maximilian Kolbe’s spiritual battle plan for Marian consecration.
He has been featured on EWTN, Catholic Answers, iHeart Radio, popular Catholic podcasts and radio shows, and at international and diocesan conferences on evangelization, apologetics, and spirituality. He has taught theology at multiple levels, helped design graduate programs, and served in academic publishing for international Mariological organizations and other Catholic organizations.
Joshua specializes in Marian theology and devotion, the Holy Spirit, Catholic spirituality, Scripture, and dynamic evangelization. His goal is to help Catholics live a Spirit-filled, Marian-led, radically holy life—whether they’re preaching, parenting, or laying bricks.
