What if the very place you feel trapped in is the exact place you’re meant to thrive? In this episode of Help Me See, Justin Driedger sits down with Josh Abcede — a creative, entrepreneur, and faith leader in Niagara Falls who turned his barbershop into a hub for community, art, and connection.

Josh opens up about growing up feeling like an outsider, the pivotal moment when he finally embraced his God-given creativity, and how a seemingly ordinary church series reignited his sense of purpose. From fashion to painting to dance, Josh’s story is a powerful reminder that we are all designed to express what God has placed in us, even when it doesn’t fit the mold.

Listen in to learn how Josh broke free from limiting mindsets, why community is the secret ingredient to creativity, and how his faith continues to shape every project he takes on.

Tune in to hear how one moment of clarity can change everything — and how embracing who you are might just be the key to impacting those around you.
