Joshua Sergent has helped Providence Ministries elevate its social media presence by increasing the number of followers and awareness of Providence’s mission, said Kim Le, Providence Ministries’ director of marketing and public relations.

“He began his own ministry, Shift Forward Ministries, and has a small business, Holybeardz,” she said. “With a combined following of over six million across his platforms, Joshua embodies a humble and kind spirit. He loves God and seeks God in all things he does. As someone who struggled with addiction and suicide, he guides others through the difficulties and challenges of life. We are blessed to have such a strong man of God helping Providence Ministries.”

Le said Sergent has become a beacon of hope and inspiration for many.

“At Providence Ministries, Joshua’s compassionate approach and genuine care for others shine through in every interaction, making a profound impact on those he serves,” she said. “Joshua’s commitment to uplifting others and spreading positivity is a gift to the community and a source of encouragement for all who have the privilege of knowing him.”

For his efforts to uplift others, the Dalton Daily Citizen names Joshua Sergent Citizen of the Week.
