Josh Weidmann is a young man that loves Christ…

and loves His people. He has traveled the world speaking for more than a decade to churched and un-churched crowds about the truth of the Gospel from the authority of God’s Word.

Josh started preaching at a young age and soon found himself living out God’s calling on His life to communicate the Bible through whatever means possible. As a result, he ministered to audiences as a Christian illusionist until he was 15 years old.  When he entered high school his itinerate ministry began to grow. After the columbine tragedy happened in 1999 in his hometown, God used Josh as a voice of hope to his generation around the nation.

Over the past decade, Josh has preached at events such as DCLA, Creation Festival and many other conferences, camps and retreats. He has also had the privilege of speaking for some well-known ministries, including Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, Youth For Christ and others. He published his first book, “Dad, If You Only Knew…” in 2005.

Josh attended Moody Bible Institute to deepen his understanding of God’s Word. After doing so, he was able to serve on the pastoral staff at Harvest Bible Chapel in Rolling Meadows, Illinois and Colorado Community Church in Englewood, Colorado. He currently is the teaching Pastor of Creekside Church in Centennial, Colorado. He also hosts a weekly radio program called Honest to God Radio. He and His wife, Molly, live in the suburbs of Denver and enjoy loving Christ, loving each other, and loving on God’s people.

It’s rare to find someone so committed to teens.

Pastor Jim Davis began his ministry at Willoughby Hills Friends Church as Youth Pastor in 1986.  The events of the last 24 years have revealed him to be a committed man of God who loves teens and has the unique ability to draw amazing spiritual potential out of the young people he has and continues to work with.  With his powerful testimony, strong faith, and persevering nature, Jim has not only lead hundreds of young people to Christ, but his ministry is responsible for inspiring dozens of eventual pastors and ministry leaders.

“When it seemed like there was nobody in my life to trust, Jim was able to lead me to God, the Father, who showed me just how much I am worth.  After having been a part of his youth group for 5 years, and 13 years of subsequent ministry, I know I wouldn’t have been here without Jim’s faithfulness to his call from the Lord.  I am grateful God has allowed us to remain friends and partners in ministry!”
-Pastor Mark Winner
Cornerstone Friends Church

“I have known Jim Davis for over 20 years.  I have never experienced a better Youth Pastor.  While many Youth Pastors view Youth Ministry as a stepping stone to other ministries, Jim’s commitment to the young, developing person, and their family, has been consistent for decades.  God has blessed him with great wisdom, experience and a honkin’ big nose.”
-Pastor Greg Bierbaum
Willoughby Hills Friends Church

It was Jim Davis’ vision for Youth Explosion, which is happening for it’s 21st year this year!  With thousands of young people having come to the Lord through this amazing ministry, it is simply time for us to hear from the man himself!  Youth Explosion 2010 proudly brings to it’s stage, for the first time ever, Pastor Jim Davis!
