Once he realizes that he is a natural born writer he’s gonna write the great American novel.

OMG this guy. He needs his own TV show. I never sit and watch a KZread video for an hour. This guy is had me anchored. He's gifted. As long as you continue to post these videos, I'll continue to watch.

Oh My Goodness! Mr. Griggs is a teacher, among other things at my youngest son's school. His wife was my second youngest son's guidance counselor. Mr. Griggs is an amazing man. We are so blessed to have him at our school and involved in education. He is an old soul with tons of wisdom to share with the kids or anyone who is lucky enough to have him their lives. I had no idea about this interview and just happened to come across it. So, enjoyable to watch this video not to mention educational.

Josh is an inspiration. I'm moved by his story and his unwavering positive attitude. A REMARKABLE, human being that I wish I knew personally.

You might want to pop a note to the library of congress, make them aware of these interviews.

I just happened to stumble on this interview. What an incredible testimony. So many similarities and parallels to my own life, being marginalized, the IQ, college, working with special needs etc. Amazing story. I’m not even completely done listening and I had to get on here and comment. I just realized it’s three years old. God bless Mr Griggs.

I'm 50. I sure am glad there are people behind me like him. This next generation has some good hope after all.

This guy is fascinating. I could just listen to him talk all day.

This man is a real Treasure !!!! This was a amazing interview. ........loved it !!! He needs his own channel, I would subscribe in a heart beat......... keep up the great work.

Josh Griggs just gave a wonderful Christian testimony. He has a very interesting story.

These Appalacian people are the salt of the earth.

You were right to select Josh as one of your colorful persons of Appalachia.

This young man is a shining example of God's provision, sense of humor, and a snippet of what's still RIGHT in this world! I was so disappointed when the video ended!♥️ 👏🏼 ⭐

The man's a genius! And they stuck him in special ed. You know the average person usually can't recognize genius because they can't think at a higher level. So really intelligent people get branded as a aberration. But, it doesn't take a genius to know a genius, you just have to admit to yourself that there are folks who can think at a higher level than you.

So very interesting. I think this would be good viewing for many high School children who need to know how this young man overcame obstacles to achieve his goals. Many young people want instant gratification, but sometimes the road forward is full of obstacles. Thank you Josh Griggs!

I enjoyed Josh. I also wanted to be a history teacher but became a medical transcriber. I also had problems in school. I am blind and had adjustment difficulties. I was told by some teachers I would not amount to much. Jesus saved me when I was nine years of age. He is my guide and stay and He is taking care of me.

Magnificent individual. Inspiration for our time. A true original, a genuine leader.

What a storyteller! What a character! I could settle in and just listen to Josh. Thank you Tipper for introducing him to all of us

Thoroughly enjoyed this video and Josh Griggs. Could have listened to many more stories from him. Thank you to both of you!

I am in Africa, it's 3.45 in the middle of the night and I am listening to this man!!! Absolutely fascinating!!
