What's the power of a single song? How can a melody unite a community and strengthen one's faith? Join us in a heartfelt conversation with Josh Blakesley, a talented musician, husband, dad, and music director at St. Faustina Church, as we explore the answers these questions and more.

We kick off our chat with a fun, rapid-fire round of questions, uncovering Josh's love for the beach, mountains, and soccer, as well as his dream coffee shop order.  As we dive deeper into his faith journey, Josh takes us through his formative years in a Catholic school in Louisiana, the impact of his sister's enthusiasm for singing during Mass, and how his relationship with Jenny led him to weekly prayer meetings that changed his life.

Discover how Josh took a leap of faith to pursue music ministry full-time and the challenges he faced during this transition. We explore the role of prayer in his life and the power of God's faithfulness. Finally, Josh emphasizes the importance of unity in the Church and how discussing music in liturgy can lead to greater unification among various topics and ideas. Be inspired by Josh's faith and passion for music, and learn how it shaped his life and ministry.
