About
Royce Bottoms
Founder & Host
Welcome!
Hi, I’m Royce Bottoms — a veteran, retired firefighter, and devoted servant of Christ with over 25 years in ministry.
I’m the founder of Beyond the 12 and host of the Jesus & a Cup of Joe podcast — a Christian conservative platform where faith meets real-life conversations.My mission is simple: to share the good news of Jesus Christ, support our veterans, and encourage believers to walk boldly in faith.Through this ministry, I challenge others to step beyond their comfort zones — to reach the forgotten, the broken, and the lost.My journey has taken me through seasons of deep struggle — but in every trial, God’s grace has proven greater than the weight I carried.
I believe in the power of testimony, the strength of community, and the unshakable hope we find in Jesus.Whether it’s through a podcast episode, a devotional message, or a quiet moment of prayer, my goal is to meet people right where they are — and remind them: you are not alone.Let’s walk this journey of faith together — grounded in truth, fueled by purpose, and always centered on Christ.
