Josh has worked in the pro-life movement since he was 18. After 12 years of full-time pro-life work he launched Equal Rights Institute to maximize his impact on the movement.
A sought-after speaker, Josh has spoken for more than 29,000 people in six countries and in 25 of the 50 states.
Josh’s primary passion is helping pro-life people to be more persuasive when they communicate with pro-choice people. That means ditching faulty rhetoric and tactics and embracing arguments that hold up under philosophical scrutiny.
He has publicly debated leaders from Planned Parenthood, the National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL), Georgians for Choice, and one of the leading abortion facilities in Atlanta.
Josh also wants to bring relational apologetics to the pro-life movement. “Some pro-choice people will not change their mind after one conversation on a college campus. Some of them will only change their mind after dozens of conversations with a person they trust in the context of friendship.”
Josh is formerly the host of a globally-heard podcast turned radio/TV show, Life Report. He now hosts the Equipped for Life Podcast. He’s also written dozens of articles for LifeNews.com and the ERI blog. He has been interviewed by the Washington Post, NPR, and Focus on the Family.
He directed the first 40 Days for Life campaign in Fresno, resulting in up to 60 lives saved.
Josh has been happily married to his wife, Hannah, for 19 years. They have three sons, Noah, William, and Eli. They live in Charlotte, North Carolina.
David Bereit, the National Director of 40 Days for Life, sums up Josh’s expertise this way: “Josh Brahm is one of the brightest, most articulate, and innovative people in the pro-life movement. His cutting-edge work is helping people think more clearly, communicate more effectively, and — most importantly — be better ambassadors for Christ. I wholeheartedly endorse Josh’s work, and I encourage you to join me in following Josh and getting involved in his work today!”
I have some important news to share, and I want you to hear it directly from me.
After 12 years as ERI’s co-founder and President, I am stepping down. My last day will be June 12th.
I spent months considering this from every angle and getting advice from my most trusted friends, and thanks to nine months of hard work and preparation, I’m not worried about ERI surviving this transition. The team is fantastic, and I found someone I’m genuinely thrilled about to take ERI into the next season.
His name is Greg Austen, and I think you’re going to love him.
In this update video, ERI President Josh Brahm announces the recent launch of Equipped for Life Academy, shares details on what comes with it, and pulls the curtain back a little at the technical nightmare that completing the course was. Finally Josh shares about the future of ERI, our 10th anniversary this year as an organization, and how we’re beginning to work with politicians on pro-life messaging.
