Josh has previously attended/led biblical study trips alongside Marc Turnage to Israel and Turkey, and he has a deep passion for seeing the ancient lands of the Bible come alive in the twenty-first century. Josh and Morgan are originally from Missouri where they met in college and have been married for almost twelve years. They have a son, Gabriel, and live on Capitol Hill.
