Josh RIP-

Ive done a piece on this brother before and eagerly awaiting an interview. HINT HINT!!!

There’s something about this brother that is highly unlike most of the CHH artists I deal with. RIP is a one in a million type of person. His story is amazing and I can’t express enough that I want to be the one who is able to put it out there. As I stated, I have done a piece on him already, But here he is with another surprise for the people.

Josh RIP,  on October 6th announced that he, after 20+ years of being on stages all over the country, will be stepping away. This is big news as the reason for stepping away is this; RIP says ” Chasing things for our own personal gain is truly a futile endeavor (the book of Ecclesiastes really opened my eyes to things).”

and he goes on to say that “I’ve lived my life apart from the Lord serving myself, and I’ve lived my life seeking and serving Him, and only one of those brings true consistent joy while the other brings destruction.

This is big!!!!!

This is an example we should all grab a hold of as we move forward in life of serving the Lord. In fact, RIP gives this advice to anyone aspiring to pursue their God given talents, he says “God gave you your talents. Make sure you use them for His glory.” I find it so awesome that RIP is willing to back away from something so near and dear to him so he can focus more on the Lord. This is what we all need be able to look for and recognize in ourselves. We should be able to do this type of self inventory/ evaluation. See, the stage, the lights, the accolades, autographs, and pictures can very easily be mistaken and easily formed into a gathering of glory that belongs solely to God.

Even bigger though!!!!!

RIP says ” I am not saying I’d never step on a stage again, but, for now..it’s upward and onward. On to bigger and better things.”

Those words excite me. I am excited to see what God has this brother doing next. I am excited to watch where God takes this brother next. See, there is so much wisdom in what’s happening here. as RIP says ” It doesn’t take rocket science” God is about to move in a mighty way in the life of Josh RIP. He is the one to watch (if you can find him) into this next decade.

The life of Josh RIP is nothing short of awesome and always full of creative surprises and we are watching and waiting to see the next big move God has for him to share with the world. We know it’s going to be amazing!
