EPISODE 0261 | Christians in Local Government: Joey Agee’s Story
THESE NOTES ACCOMPANY EPISODE 0261
In this episode, Pastor Daniel sits down with Joey Agee—a lifelong Bell County resident, devoted husband and father of five, former worship leader, and now a candidate for Justice of the Peace in Precinct One. Joey shares his powerful story of faith, obedience, and what it means to serve God in every area of life—including public service.
From his early days growing up in poverty, to leading worship for nearly two decades, to raising a family with deep roots in the Temple and Belton communities, Joey’s story is one of surrender and purpose. A turning point came when his son was diagnosed with a brain tumor mid-campaign, prompting Joey to fully hand over his plans to God and discover a new level of spiritual intimacy.
Now, as he steps into the political arena, Joey's priority remains clear: follow Jesus closely, serve with humility, and bring integrity and efficiency to the courtroom.
