    Discovering God’s Sovereignty Through Life’s Valleys with Roger Fite

    In this episode Roger shares how each peak and valley strengthened his faith and helped him see how God works all things together for good. His book, a heartfelt compilation of stories and prose, encourages readers to embrace God’s divine plan and find purpose in every circumstance. Raised in a small farm and ranch community in western Oklahoma, Roger grew up in a close-knit church environment that shaped his early faith — but also limited his understanding of God’s true character. His hunger for truth led him through seasons of both love and loss, pushing him to seek a deeper, more authentic relationship with God.
