Born to an influential ministry leader, Joel got involved with ministry as early as age 7 by playing violin on the worship team and began preaching at 18. Under the leadership of Pastor Larry Stockstill, he helped found the 220 youth movement in Baton Rouge that soared to over 7,000 youth in weekly attendance. During this season, he also served as campus pastor and executive pastor at Bethany Church.
Joel has been happily married to the love of his life, Amie Hope, for over 10 years. In the last decade, they have ministered in over 300 churches across America in itinerant prophetic ministry. In 2018, he joined the apostolic team at Gateway Church and also spent a year as the director of prophetic ministry.
In January 2020, Joel became the Executive Director of Surge and functions as a visionary and prophetic voice for that global church planting movement.
