About Joseph CIccanti

Life is filled with ebbs and flows…you know…ups and downs.

In this website, you’ll find information about and from the Scriptures to encourage you in your Christian faith journey, such as in times when…

• You grieve the loss of loved ones.
• You are going through a difficult time.
• God seems distant or does not seem to be answering your prayers.
• You struggle with doubt.

To stay consistent in your faith, it helps to keep digesting food for the soul— God’s Word.

I remember a time when I found comfort after a loss in my life by going to Ruth Chapter 1, for example. I meditated on a section that dealt with the topic of grief.

The information I share to encourage you in your faith is based on both my experiences as well as my expertise on these subjects. Here are the details…

1. I graduated from Asbury Theological Seminary with a Master of Divinity degree.
2. I have been in pastoral ministry since 2014.
3. I completed 800 hours of certified chaplaincy training.
4. I am a trained Stephen Ministry leader (SM is a ministry that provides confidential one-on-one grief support).
5. I’ve led GriefShare support groups since 2017.

My name is Joseph Ciccanti. I am married to my beautiful Filipina wife, Annie and have one adorable son--Jacob (pictured below with me)--who was born on June 11th, 2021.
