Trinity Joy Queen, wife of Dove Award-nominated Christian musician Josiah Queen, recently posted a video on social media of herself confronting a street preacher who was proselytizing outside an arena where her husband was performing.
Queen (22) and Trinity Joy (21) were married in 2023 after meeting at a church in Iowa while he was on the road. Growing up a pastor’s kid, Queen started his career leading worship and would travel with his mother to different churches across the United States playing music on the weekends while his mother would teach on evangelism and prayer.
The church that Queen and his wife met at are pastored by Trinity Joy’s parents. After meeting, the then-teenagers started writing back and forth, which turned into a long-distance relationship and later led to marriage.

In an interview he did with with K-LOVE last September, Queen shared that he and his wife’s “biggest desire is to see people’s lives changed for Jesus.” This desire is something that is evidently displayed throughout Trinity Joy’s social media. Trinity Joy has shared several videos of herself preaching and evangelizing to people on the street.
Earlier this month, Trinity Joy posted a video that displayed her politely confronting a street preacher who was armed with a megaphone and a sign that read “REPENT NOW Before It’s Too Late.”
“The gospel is good news—so why do some preach it like bad news,” she said in her caption. “I had a conversation with a street preacher outside my husband’s concert who focused more on condemnation than the love of God. But Romans 2:4 says it’s God’s kindness that leads people to repentance!”
“Jesus didn’t come to condemn the world but to save it (John 3:17),” Trinity Joy said as she continued. “The love of God changes hearts. Let’s preach the gospel the way Jesus did—with truth and love!”

Trinity Joy asked the street preacher if he’s ever led anyone to the Lord by preaching the way that he does. At first the street preacher responded, “I don’t know,” but then he told Trinity Joy that he and others who do what he does “don’t believe in what you call leading people to the Lord. If somebody professes with their mouth, that doesn’t necessarily mean that they got born again.”
Agreeing that praying a prayer alone doesn’t save anyone, Trinity Joy told the street preacher that the “Bible does say believe in your heart and then confess. So you have to confess as well.”
