Get To Know Robyn


Robyn and Mr. 4-Ever (her hubz, aka Dave) are in full-time ministry and sold out lovers of God and His Word. Their favorite place to be is on the road proclaiming Jesus, which is a good thing, because they typically speak at 30-40 in-person events annually.

Robyn is a captivating storyteller, veteran Bible teacher and Toastmasters International Humorous Speech Champion as well as the author of her best-selling memoir, “The Widow Wore Pink,” her story of Playboy Bunny turned Jesus follower.

When she’s not on speaking the platform, she’s teaching other women how to tell their story, teach the Bible, find places to speak and sell their books by the boatload.

Home for Robyn and Dave is a 135-year-old farmhouse in Grand Rapids, MI where they raised two smart stud-muffins who call and visit their mom often.

If you have a desire to share your heart, your story or your teaching with those who need to hear it, let Robyn teach you how to find your audience in person and connect with them online.
