“Not gonna lie. I got shook to my core Saturday. In between book tour runs for Knowing, I was home for a beat with the family,” he shared, referring to his latest book. “The day went from a happy, love-filled moment as we saw our teenager off to prom, to news of a freak accident in our backyard that threatened the life of my entire universe.”

Roberts said he had to “keep it all together to problem-solve in real time, get my wife the help she needed, and keep my family calm, while inside, I was crushed by so many feelings and emotions moving so rapidly I couldn’t keep up with them.”

The pastor continued, “The mission was singular. Get my wife to good, at all costs. By the grace of God, we saw a miracle play out right in front of us.”
