for someone’s food in line behind
you, or stopping for someone on the
side of the road to help someone
with a blown tire. It’s really simple
tasks for me, but makes a huge
impact on peoples lives.

Joseph is the Senior Pastor
at the First Methodist
Weatherford.
PCT: If you could have lunch with
anyone, who would it be?
BG: Obviously God if there weren’t
any rules to this game. If we’re talk-
ing about someone alive, I think
Dewayne Johnson. I would love to
just get as much advice and insight as
I could. I bet he would have a lot a
cool stories to share!
PCT: If you had to do another job
than what you’re doing, what would
you do?
BG: The automotive industry is some-
thing I would definitely stay in. I
would love to open my own custom-
ization shop, lift kits, wheels and
tires, sound systems, etc. I love cars,
trucks, boats, motorcycles, side by
sides, you name it.
PCT: What is your definition of the
best day every?
BG: I’m in the car business, so being
able to give someone a brand new
car who never thought that it was
possible is a huge moment. Seeing
the gratitude and happiness on
people’s faces are why I do what I
do. To some people it’s just a car,
to others it represents something
way more, something that they have
worked so hard for and to finally see
it pay off is amazing.

PCT: What’s the best piece of advice
you would give?
BG: Do what makes you happy,
forget about the money, find what
makes you happy and do that, the
money will follow. Stop going to that
job that you hate, just so you can pay
for that car that you can’t afford, to
keep up with your neighbors that you
don’t even like!
PCT: What is the coolest thing you
feel you have done in your life?
BG: Make two of the prettiest baby
girls I have ever seen, to think that
those girls came from me blows
my mind. Hopefully, we can go on
some crazy adventures when they get
older.
getting mail, and an encouraging
letter can be so uplifting.
PCT: If you could have lunch with
anyone, who would it be?
JN: Lunch dates with my wife are
hard to beat. I’m such an extreme
extrovert, I really enjoy getting to
know all sorts of people.
PCT: If you had to do another job
than what you’re doing, what would
you do?
JN: I’m not really sure, but it would
definitely have to be something that
interacted with a lot of people.
Parker County Today: How did you
get into your occupation?
JN: I had a calling into ministry when
I was a senior in high school as God
used friends and family to affirm my
gifts for this type of work. That started
a time of learning and growing that
took me through undergrad at Baylor
University and a master’s degree from
Asbury Seminary, and a number of
jobs in ministry where I learned “in
the field.”
PCT: What is your favorite novel?

Wardrobe, by C.S. Lewis

PCT: What is something people don’t
know about you?
JN: I really don’t like marshmallows,
but I have a soft spot for anything
else that includes sugar.
PCT: What would you most like to be
remembered for?

bered for how I have shown the love
of God to people, and invested in
people’s lives.
PCT: What’s your favorite way to pay
it forward?
JN: I enjoy writing letters to people
to encourage them. Everyone loves
PCT: What is your definition of the
best day ever?
JN: These days, the best day starts
with a nice long run in cool weather,
includes some time to nap, and
a huge meal with our family and
friends.
PCT: What’s the best piece of advice
you would give?
JN: Be patient (patience is needed
more often than not).
PCT: What is the coolest thing you
feel you have done in your life?
JN: I peaked socially in 8th grade,
so it might have to be emceeing the
daily announcements for our middle
school. It’s all been downhill since
then.
