About this episode
Josh Brewer shares his transformative journey from a troubled childhood to finding faith and family.
Josh Brewer’s childhood was marked by instability, abuse, and years in the foster care system—moving from home to home, never knowing what “normal” truly looked like. By his teenage years, he had learned to survive by keeping his head down and his heart guarded. But everything began to change when Josh encountered something he had never experienced before: a healthy family. Through a brief but powerful experience in a faith-filled foster home, Josh caught a glimpse of love, stability, and the presence of God. That moment planted a seed that would grow years later when he was adopted by relatives and introduced to a new way of life—one marked by consistency, community, and faith. At 16, still carrying anger, trauma, and deep insecurity, Josh had a life-changing encounter with God that reshaped his identity and gave him purpose. What once felt like a life defined by brokenness began to take on new meaning. In this episode of Qavah , Josh’s story reflects the heart of the word itself: God weaving together broken pieces into something whole and beautiful. It’s a powerful reminder that even in the midst of chaos, there is a bigger picture being formed—one we may not see until much…
