The Little Things

Josh Wilson Helps Others Through Tough Times

When it comes to being intentional about helping others, Josh Wilson lets his music and his website do the talking.

Inspired when one of his friends went through a difficult divorce, Josh created WhenIFallApart.com in conjunction with the single “Fall Apart” from his See You release. On the site, listeners tell about the hard times they’ve made it through because of Jesus Christ.

Among the hundreds of testimonials was this account from Amber:

“I had betrayal by a man that I had been close friends with since 1986 and dated in the recent year which devastated me. I more recently had a health issue arise which was probably because of the weakened immune system due to all the stress and lack of sleep,” she wrote. “The Lord and some of his angels, including you, have sustained me when I literally gave up.”

“The website is a place where people have shared their stories and said, ‘This is something terrible that has happened to me, but here’s the beauty that’s come out of this because of Jesus and the hope I have in Him’,” Josh said. “We know as believers that the things that happen to us are only temporary. Some day we will see Jesus face to face, and He will hold us together even when it feels like everything is falling apart.”

Since his debut in 2008 with the album Trying to Fit the Ocean in a Cup, Josh Wilson has been encouraging and helping others. He reaches them through his original songs’ heartfelt lyrics and unique covers of familiar hymns like “It Is Well With My Soul” and “Amazing Grace.”

A pastor’s kid who grew up in west Texas, Josh is the middle child between two sisters. He and his wife of two years live in Nashville and do all they can to reach out to their local community, volunteering in a rescue mission and regularly visiting a 93-year-old widow.

“It’s the little things,” he says. “Christ calls us all to look for ways to serve and they don’t have to be huge things to be intentional with our time and kindness.”
