‘Above All Else’ is a co-ed workshop series that unpacks the power of personal boundaries that are found in the principle of Proverbs 4:23. Over the course of two sessions, we will define what healthy boundaries are, identify common misconceptions, learn why they are important, discover how they affect every facet of our lives, and come up with ways to practically apply the Biblical truths that we discover.

In this two-part workshop, we will dive into what Proverbs 4:23 means and how to apply it.

Josh Simcosky - God as Friend Workshop

On August 15, 2020 Josh surrendered his life to Christ After 20 years of drug addiction and alcoholism. Since that day, Josh has immersed himself in the process of life recovery. He currently leads a recovery group called Free Indeed, studies personality disorders, develops and teaches boundaries, serves at his church on the worship team, and is training as a Biblical addiction and mental health coach. Josh believes that recovery is not an event, but a lifelong process with many events along the way that everyone can benefit from because addiction is not a moral failure of will, or an ethical lapse, but a response to trauma which everyone experiences in some way. One of the key components of Josh’s healing process has been developing healthy Biblical boundaries. Since learning how to protect his heart while working on his weak spots, Josh has been driven to share this insight with others at Free Indeed meetings and through one-on-one sponsorship/coaching. In his free time Josh likes to golf, play guitar, tell dad jokes to his two daughters, and sear steaks in his cast-iron pan.
