Meet Our Staff: The Sheridans
The Sheridans and their two kiddos live here on campus. Josh works in the Student Life department and his wife, Felicia, works in the Online Education office. They both spend time meeting with students and encouraging them in their walk with the Lord as they grow through classes. As a family they love baseball and the outdoors.
Where are you from originally?
Josh: Middlesex, New Jersey.
Felicia: New Milford, Pennsylvania
When did you join the Ethnos360 Bible Institute team?
Josh: July 2020
Felicia: July 2020
What’s your role at Ethnos360 Bible Institute?
Josh: Dean of Single Men
Felicia: Logistics Coordinator for EBI Online
What is your favorite thing about serving at Ethnos360 Bible Institute?
Josh: One thing I love about working at EBI is seeing where students leave compared to where they were at coming in. I count it a privilege to be a small part of students growing in their love for Jesus. I love seeing them leave in a different place than where they began.
Felicia: Getting to know my coworkers better and meeting students who desire to grow in their knowledge of God’s Word.
What is something the student body might not know about you?
Josh: I love soap. Weird I know, but seriously. Lush, Dr. Squatch, you name it. I have a whole drawer in the bathroom of bars of soap people have gotten me.
Felicia: I am a country girl through and through. I also play the trumpet.
At what point in your life were you convinced to become involved with missions?
Josh: I took a short-term missions trip to Tijuana, Mexico where I heard about unreached people groups for the first time. I had pretty much not cared about my life a ton until then. That’s when I found something I wanted to give my life to being a part of others hearing how much Jesus loves them.
Felicia: During my time in Bible school when I heard about all the roles that need to be filled to reach people with the gospel, not just church planting.
Where’s your favorite place to eat or thing to do here around Waukesha?
Josh: I like to eat Pano’s or West Allis Cheese and Sausage shop for food. One of my favorite things to do around Waukesha is head to the ballpark to catch a game.
Felicia: Our family loves to find good ice cream. Any time we find a new shop we go check it out. Of course we have our favorites too, depending on what kind of mood we’re in.
What pastimes do you enjoy?
Josh: Hunting, music, sports, baseball (if you know me you know why it’s in its own category), time with family, reading, construction, hiking/camping.
Felicia: Spending time with my kids, reading, baking, gardening, baseball games with Josh, camping.
Do you have a “hero of the faith” that you admire, and if so, what about them is inspiring?
Josh: I wouldn’t say I have a specific “hero of the faith”, but I appreciate people that I have met that are genuine in their faith and have been very open and honest about their doubts and failings and how God met them in those places, using those things to teach them more about Himself. People that come to mind that I look up to for those reasons would be George Walker, Rich Bruce, and Jason Weaver.
Felicia: Like Josh, I don’t have a specific person. I would say similarly I have appreciated those people who have shown a deep care about my walk with the Lord.
Who is your favorite author or musician?
Josh: Author- Brennan Manning or C.S. Lewis; Musician- U2 and Switchfoot
Felicia: For music it would be JUDAH and Country music. Very different from each other, I know. I like reading a variety of authors, so I don’t have a favorite.
Where is your favorite place to spend time?
Josh: Either the ballpark or the woods.
Felicia: Spending time with good friends, camping or my garden.
