Who We Are: Dudes Without Dads

Meet Joshua Brown

I’m a man whose life has been forever changed by the gospel. Before I was even born, my father encouraged my mother to end my life through abortion, but she chose to give me a chance. That decision set the stage for a journey of struggle, redemption, and purpose.

Growing up on the streets of Nashville, my mother and I faced homelessness, living in soup kitchens, church fellowship halls, and low-income housing. By 17, I was a high school dropout, a drug dealer, and a pothead. My life seemed to be heading nowhere—until a life-altering car accident brought everything to a halt. In that moment, I heard God’s voice: "Joshua, I love you." Those words changed everything.  

I responded through faith and repentance, earning my GED and eventually degrees in pastoral ministries and Christian counseling. For over 22 years, I served as a vocational pastor, dedicating my life to helping others find the same redemption I experienced.

Today, I’m married to my incredible wife, Jennifer, for 26 years, and together we have six amazing children—three girls and three boys. My calling has expanded into the marketplace, where I lead Brown’s Pressure Washing, a multi-million-dollar business that serves as both a livelihood and a ministry. I’ve transitioned from pastoring in churches to ministering in the marketplace, inviting other faith-driven entrepreneurs to join a network that combines business excellence with kingdom impact.

Through webinars, coaching, and sharing my testimony, I help others use their businesses as a platform for discipleship and multi-generational faithfulness. I believe that God’s call to "go and make disciples" doesn’t stop at the church doors—it’s a mission for the marketplace, too.

I’m passionate about learning, running, spending time with my family, and empowering others to break cycles of fatherlessness and build legacies of faith. My upcoming ventures include the Dudes Without Dads Podcast, where I aim to inspire men to become the fathers they never had, and the Lead Like Jesus (LLJ) Masterminds to raise up kingdom-minded leaders.

At the end of my life, my hope is simple: to have impacted as many people as possible through faith, love, and purpose. You’re invited to be part of this journey, whether through business, discipleship, or simply hearing my story.
