Today we’d like to introduce you to Joe Navarro.
Hi Joe, so excited to have you on the platform. So, before we get into questions about your work life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today.
Well, It all started back in 2019 where I decided to download TikTok. The first TikTok I made got around 30,000 views. I checked my phone and was so shocked to see that I reached that many people! My mind immediately went into thinking how I could spread the gospel to all those people that I reached! I then changed my username to Joechristianguy and started making funny relatable Christian content to encourage others to keep pursuing the faith and encourage others to learn more about God. I have no idea how I got to that idea from just one video getting a couple thousand views! I really believe the Lord took a hold of my heart and planted the thought of Joechristianguy in my mind at that moment and told me that this was the way I was going to impact the community. I always loved to make people laugh and make their day better. And encourage anyone around me with the truth that is found in the Bible. And now I am doing that on social media! And I love it!
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not, what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
The road has been so amazing! I never would have thought that putting my faith online in a fun way would help me in building my community and encourage others in their faith. I honestly haven’t had many struggles along the way. The biggest part of this journey is creating content and I’ve been doing it for almost 5 years now that it doesn’t feel hard to do!
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
When I started TikTok I realized that there was trends going viral. I began to brainstorm on ways I could turn those trends around and make them about God. Then that’s how it all began for me! I think of funny and relatable videos that go along with the trends and spread Jesus at the same time. That way people are more inclined to watch and think about spending time with God! Basically, I’m known as “that Christian guy who makes TikToks!” I am most proud of making a video when I went to Israel. We saw an active archeological dig site where they found the ancient pilgrimage road to the Temple Mount and that is connected to the Siloam pool. I decided to make a video about it to encourage people in their faith and to prove the history of the Bible and it reached over 1.5m people! I felt very like I was making an impact on the Kingdom!
What are your plans for the future?
My plans for the future consist of doing whatever God calls me to do. In the meantime, that consists of making social media content on YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram daily. I don’t see any big changes yet!
