Healing should be within reach for everyone. No pressure, not overwhelming theology or clinical jargon, just a gentle supportive path forward.
Joshua Resources is dedicated to guiding individuals through a powerful transition: moving from struggle and hurt, brokenness to lasting healing and wholeness, or what we call Biblical restoration.
Pat brings a unique blend of analytical expertise from her career as a Business Analyst and compassionate leadership honed through years of ministry. Most notably, Pat was the Founder of the Joshua Resource Center in Maryville, TN. This pioneering, Christ-centered program operated for 10 years with a clear mission: to empower women to break the cycle of abuse and poverty and achieve true self-sufficiency. Under Pat’s leadership, the Center successfully served and transformed the lives of over 300 women.
Our holistic approach, Pat’s background in structured analysis combined with a decade of successful, boots-on-the-ground ministry, ensures that Joshua Resources delivers programs that are not only deeply compassionate but also effective and outcomes-focused.
“Humpty Dumpty can be put together again.” Pat Thompson
