As the president and cofounder of Faith by Grace Ministries, he equips people to understand who they are, why they feel what they feel, and how to live grounded in truth rather than reactivity.

He is the creator of the Identity Restoration Framework™. A transformative identity model that breaks trauma-shaped patterns and strengthens emotional resilience without requiring people to relive their pain. His approach integrates faith, emotional health, and a practical understanding of how unresolved trauma shapes the inner world.

Ray’s work has reached individuals and leaders across the U.S. and internationally, including pastors, industry professionals, creators, and high-impact influencers seeking grounded identity and emotional clarity. His ability to translate complex inner experiences into simple, actionable tools has made his message accessible across cultures, age groups, and leadership levels.

Ray’s own journey through mental health challenges, trauma cycles, and identity reconstruction informs his compassionate, accessible style. His work helps individuals make sense of their internal experience, regulate emotional patterns, and step into restored identity with clarity and confidence.

A former missionary with CRU and experienced church planter and pastor, Ray brings a rich background in leadership, spiritual formation, and personal healing. His books, coaching, and speaking engagements offer practical tools, grounded insight, and heartfelt stories that help audiences grow into the wholeness God intended.

He is also a devoted husband and father who finds joy in helping people thrive in their purpose and live restored from the inside out.
