About the author
Roger Willroth
A pastor's mind, a writer's heart
A theologian and author writing from the American heartland, Roger explores the questions of faith with a scholar's rigor and a pastor's warmth — always returning to a single, steadying conviction: that God is love.
Life verse
“For the Kingdom of God does not consist of eating and drinking, but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.”
Romans 14:17
Roger Willroth holds a bachelor's degree from the University of Northwestern in Roseville, Minnesota, and a Master of Divinity from Bethel University Seminary in Shoreview, Minnesota. Years of study in Scripture and theology shape everything he writes — not as dry academics, but as a lifelong search for how faith actually meets the way we live.
He served as a pastor and, for most of his professional career, worked as a financial and investment coach. This combination of ministry and practical guidance has given him a perspective that speaks not only to matters of faith, but also to the everyday decisions and challenges people face.
He resides in Ames, Iowa, where he continues to write and explore themes of faith, love, and biblical truth. His work invites readers of every background into an honest conversation — one that takes the text seriously while leaving room for wonder.
Whether examining the nature of divine love or bringing a first-century disciple vividly to life, Roger writes for the person in the pew and the seeker at the edge of it alike.

Writer & theologian
I wanted to write the book I wish someone had handed me years ago — not about a distant judge, but about a God whose very nature is love.
