Hello
From Wreckage to Redemption
Dr. Ralph Roath isn’t just a speaker or songwriter — he’s a survivor of his own story. Once marked by addiction, heartache, and loss, he now lives and leads with a God-given fire. Together with his wife Lisa, Ralph shares messages that come not from perfection, but from scars — and proof that grace still works.
Meet Dr. Ralph
The Story Behind the Message
Although I grew up in a minister's home, I didn’t grow up dreaming I’d be a pastor — I grew up running. At 11 years old, I was already battling addiction and brokenness. For decades, I made promises I couldn’t keep, carried wounds I didn’t know how to heal, and burned bridges I never meant to cross.
But grace found me.
And then, God sent Lisa.
We built a new life together — blending families, battling storms, and rebuilding trust. Somewhere between a second chance and a surrendered heart, God gave us purpose. Now, we write, preach, sing, and counsel from a place we never imagined: whole and healed in Christ.
Our story isn’t polished — but it’s proof that the Gospel still redeems.
Meet Lisa
Worshipper. Warrior. Wife.
Lisa was a pastor’s daughter — raised in the pews, trained for worship, and taught to serve with excellence. But life didn’t go the way she planned. A broken first marriage, years of private pain, and the weight of raising four daughters, that she dearly loves, left her questioning everything… including herself.
Then came Ralph.
She didn’t want to marry another preacher — but God had a different plan.
Together, Ralph and Lisa blended their families, battled their pasts, and built a future founded on healing, purpose, and second chances. Lisa has survived a stroke and breast cancer. She has been a mother, grandmother, singer, caretaker, and prayer warrior. Through every storm, she has stood firm — not because life was easy, but because her faith is real.
Today, Lisa loves to worship, play with grandkids, writes songs, and ministers beside her husband with the same quiet fire that carried her through the darkest nights.
She’s not just the heart behind the message — she’s living proof that grace never quits.
