075: Ken L. Roberts and How the Hard Times Shape You for the Better

Ken L. Roberts is a former pastor and church planter turned author and life coach. Today he shares the story of how God led him to the sweet spot of his life. The story winds through the most challenging moments in his life including hitting a spiritual wall while serving as a pastor and the unexpected death of his wife. Ken shares that being on a deeper journey with God helped him through those difficult moments and led to his current period of ministry helping believers break through the wall and leaders “live well while they lead well.”

Stories Ken shared:

Growing up as a pastor’s kid and giving his life to Christ at age 7
Feeling called to ministry at age 17
The gap between what he believed and what they were doing
Stumbling into new spiritual disciplines that refreshed his spirit
The tragic death of his wife and choosing to embrace God in it
Bringing together all the pieces to find his sweet spot
The three nails he wants to pound for the rest of his life

An animal won’t come out unless you’re quiet. Your soul is the same way.

I’m more settled with mysteries than I used to be.
