More about Joshua:

At the age of four, Joshua Goodling was diagnosed with a terminal cancer that would drastically change his life. The doctors said his chances of survival were zero and gave him about one week to live. That was over 50 years ago, so it’s been a long week! After two bouts with the dreaded disease, the cancer was eventually gone, but it left him with partially paralyzed vocal cords, stunted growth, and other problems that he would deal with for the rest of his life. However, Joshua didn’t allow those circumstances to control him, and people all over the world, in all walks of life, have been challenged and inspired by his moving story of overcoming seemingly insurmountable obstacles, and then using his life to bring hope, happiness, and encouragement to others. 

JODI GARNER – BOARD MEMBER – FORSYTH/DAWSON FCA

“On behalf of Forsyth/Dawson FCA, I want to send you a heartfelt thank you for speaking at Piney Grove Middle School yesterday. I was absolutely mesmerized by your story. It was by far one of the most powerful messages I have ever heard.” One mom wrote to tell me that her son said that you were the most inspirational speaker he has ever heard and that he got more out of your message than he ever has at church or any other spiritual gathering.

“DAVID CUNNINGHAM – TEACHER – DURHAM MIDDLE SCHOOL”

“We had over three hundred and fifty eighth graders and two hundred plus third graders from a local elementary school in attendance. When you spoke I was amazed at how quiet the students became.” Your message not only resonated with our students but the teachers and staff as well. I can’t wait to have you come back and speak again to our whole student body.
