Our adventure truly began September 8th, 2012, the day we got married! Within three months of marriage, God gave us the opportunity to open our own business, Krush Nutrition. That business grew and expanded in a miraculous way, allowing for the purchase of one of the most iconic buildings in downtown Jacksonville, the Times Theater. The combination was a massive success, creating what is now known as Krush Time. An indoor recreation center with rock walls, trampolines, and obstacle courses. But it became so much more than just a place of business; it was the start of our ministry. Little did we know, the building was just the beginning. Soon the opportunity to appear on television shows began to open up for Josh, as well as the opportunity to work off-camera in television and media production. The Lord also laid on his heart to begin writing books for children and adults alike. McKea was unexpectedly offered a teaching position at a school, and shortly thereafter, she began coaching multiple sports, including being named head high school girls basketball coach and starting a Fellowship of Christian Athletes chapter! With God’s favor, in just a few short years she ascended all the way from unlicensed teacher to district Principal, overseeing kindergarten through 12th grade!
While we no longer run Krush Time from day to day, the building stands as a testimony to what God can do if you’re willing to follow his guidance, and we are confident He has a use for the building in the future. With the diversity of people and many locations of our ministry, we still wanted to have a central place where people could “find” us; thus, 'Inside the Gate’ was formed. There is no doubt that our story is just beginning, and we look forward to the unique opportunities the Lord continues to give us to minister to people of all ages and people groups.
