In every season of life, Robert has carried a heart for people and a deep belief in the power of testimony.

Robert also serves as a teacher and board member at The Assembly at Augusta and has volunteered for over a decade as a Discipleship Coach with the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. His desire is to help others see the goodness of God through real, honest stories—and to encourage every generation to believe again, expect again, and trust God more.
