20 Hours for 20Talk | Perth September 6th

Josh is taking on the 20-hour challenge to support youth mental health and raise awareness about the importance of prevention.

Father, Son and the Holy Spirit

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been fighting battles that no one could see. I was bullied deeply so much that it broke down parts of me I’m still learning to rebuild. I’ve felt the sting of failed relationships, giving my heart only to be left in pieces. I’ve carried the weight of rejection, self doubt, and confusion while trying to make sense of it all.


And alongside all of this, I live with a chronic illness. A lifelong condition with no cure. Some days it’s manageable; other days it breaks me down completely. It’s unpredictable, exhausting, and isolating in ways that are hard to put into words. When your own body becomes the battleground, the fight becomes constant physically, mentally, and emotionally.


There have been times I’ve felt like I was drowning in my own mind. And during those times, the only thing that brought me peace if even briefly was music. DJing saved me. For the few hours I’m behind the decks, the noise in my head disappears. It’s like my mind clears and I finally get to breathe. But as healing as that is, it’s only a moment of escape. I knew I needed something deeper.


That’s why I’m doing this.


This 20 hour silence is about mental health but it’s also about spiritual healing. In this time alone, I’m giving myself fully to God. I’m using this silence to strengthen my relationship with Him and the Holy Trinity. No words, no noise just presence. Just listening. I believe in this time, I’ll find clarity and peace that no music, no distraction, and no voice can give me.


I don’t expect this to be easy. Sitting in stillness, with the weight of my past and the uncertainty of my health, is a mountain in itself. But I believe this challenge will change me. I believe it will shape how I view life moving forward with more gratitude, more patience, and a deeper connection to my purpose and to God.


This isn’t just about me it’s about every person who feels unheard, unseen, or overwhelmed by their own mind. It’s about showing that even in silence, there is strength. Even in struggle, there is hope.


Your support in this journey means everything. Let’s give silence meaning. Let’s make it speak for healing, for faith, and for those still fighting quietly.
