JT MurrellCentral Group Leader – Worship, Life.Church
Wade has a unique call on his life to practically equip the church in the work of the ministry & helping broken people find hope through the Gospel of Jesus. I know this because he’s done both for me.

He’s guided me to become a more helpful and effective communicator through his gift of candor. Never in a tone that is degrading, but in a patient hopeful way that helps build the tools necessary to be better.

When my mom was dying in a hospital, he stopped a church service to pray for my family. His anointing as a pastor has carried me through dark seasons of my life.

Wade Joye is the real deal. His heart for Jesus, people, and the local church is evident in everything he says and does.

We asked Wade to come in and teach to our Creative Arts team and also preach to our Church. He was phenomenal! Our team is still experiencing the results of his visit. The culture continues to get better, our volunteers show up with more purpose and zeal for what they do. From leading worship to creating healthy habits as a follower of Christ, Wade brings such a variety of gifts, wisdom, and passion that will inspire and equip a church of ANY size. Your team and church will be better for the investment of bringing in Wade!
