His Story
Joe holds degrees from the University of Tennessee, Murray State University, and the University of Memphis, where he earned his Ph.D. He served as a university professor and college dean before founding Leaderpoint Consulting Group, which consulted with corporate leaders from more than half of the Fortune 500 companies. For roughly two decades he was a professional speaker addressing major corporations across the country.
In 2007, Joe co-founded In The Zone Ministries with Kyle Rote, Jr. — a national men's ministry that filled arenas and churches with Christian businessmen and sports figures. Out of that work grew a daily rhythm of writing that has never stopped.
His daily devotional, Morning With Jesus, now reaches more than 60,000 subscribers across all 50 states and 36 countries. He has authored seven books written for men, women, small groups, and young adults, and he speaks at churches and Mayor's Prayer Breakfasts nationwide.
Joe serves as pastor of First Presbyterian Church in Brownsville, Tennessee, where he lives with his wife of fifty years.
