About Ron Wallance
A life shaped by faith, loss, resilience, and the unshakeable belief that God never lets go.
His Story
Ron Wallace is not a writer who speaks from a distance. He writes from the middle of real life, from the mountaintops and from the valley floors. His words carry the weight of personal experience, academic depth, and decades of walking alongside people in their most difficult moments.
​
Ron graduated from Florida State University with a Bachelor of Science degree and was a starting defensive end for the Seminoles football team. He went on to receive a Master of Divinity degree from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary and completed additional post-graduate work at Oxford University in Oxford, England.
​
His ministerial background includes senior pastorates in Louisiana, Georgia, Florida, Kentucky, and Tennessee. He has taught and ministered internationally in England, Wales, and Scotland, bringing a message of hope and healing to audiences across the globe
His Mission
Ron's deepest desire is simple, to encourage people who are hurting. Whether you are face down on the valley floor or barely holding on to a promise God gave you years ago, Ron's books are written for you. Every page is filled with the conviction that God has not forgotten you, your calling has not been cancelled, and your story is not over.
He believes that the same God who turned a shepherd boy into a king, who walked with Caleb through decades of waiting, and who spoke in the silence of the darkest nights, is the same God who is walking with you right now.
His Background
Beyond the pulpit, Ron has built an impressive career in corporate training, serving national and governmental organizations including AT&T, Homeland Security, and the FBI Academy. This unique combination of ministerial depth and corporate experience gives Ron the rare ability to speak to people from every walk of life, connecting with the executive in the boardroom and the broken in the back pew with equal compassion and clarity.
His Personal Journey
Ron writes not only from theological training but from personal heartbreak. He experienced the tragic loss of his beloved wife, Dianne, who passed away at just 47 years old. That season of grief became one of the most defining chapters of his life and ministry, and it lives in the pages of every book he has written since.
A few years later, Ron married the former Lois Jane Huddleston, a woman who had also walked through the loss of a spouse. Together they share a life rooted in faith, resilience, and a shared calling to encourage others. Lois Jane, known affectionately as LJ, is a Christian singer and women's conference speaker who travels extensively throughout the United States and abroad. She has recorded over 30 projects and participated in more than one thousand Bible conferences and spiritual gatherings.
His Books
Ron has authored numerous books spanning daily devotionals, prayer books, and topical studies — all rooted in Scripture and written with pastoral warmth. His works include:
​
1. Life Is About …: Life is Not About the Size of Your Mistake. Life is About the Size of Your God.
2. Handling the Pain While Holding on to the Promise
3. Encouraging Words in a Discouraging World: 365 Daily Devotions
4. Jesus Burden Bearer: 365 Day Prayer Book

​
​
Each book is written with one purpose, to point you back to a God who is bigger than your worst mistake, closer than your deepest pain, and more faithful than your greatest fear.
A Word from Ron
"I write because I have been there. I have sat in the silence and wondered if God was listening. I have stood at a graveside and had to choose whether to still believe. I have held on to promises that seemed long overdue. And in every one of those moments, God showed up. Not always the way I expected, but always right on time. That is what I want you to know. He has not forgotten you. He never will."
