IT BEGAN WITH A CHILD’S ROAR
A small moment.
A question that stayed.
Joshua could ask his young children to quack, moo, or bark, and play would follow. But when he invited them to roar like a lion, sometimes a sad or defeated mood gave way to laughter and expression.
For a father who had experienced childhood trauma, painful relationships, and failed business partnerships, those moments touched something personal. What might change when someone who has gone quiet is invited to use their voice again?
About fifteen years ago, that question became a calling in prayer. This book is the next chapter of that story.
THE HEART OF THE BOOK
Your roar doesn’t have to be loud to be brave.

Reflect on the moments that shaped your willingness to speak, ask, connect, or be seen.
02
Make room for faith
