Transforming Struggles into Strengths –A Path to Healing!
With a diverse life journey and a wealth of experiences, Steve Rotermund is a vibrant speaker who embodies the essence of resilience and transformation. A devoted father of seven, Steve has embraced life’s complexities and emerged with profound insights into faith, purpose, and leadership.
At the age of 21, he embarked on an extraordinary journey of faith when he came to know the Lord. What followed was a calling into ministry that ignited a passion for service and transformation. However, as he stood in the pulpit, Steve carried a hidden burden—a dark secret that loomed heavily over his spirit: Steve’s beloved wife was grappling with an addiction to pain medication.
During those challenging years, feelings of shame and defeat clouded his heart. Often feeling less than, believing that God was aiding everyone else but him, he felt left alone in his struggles. From serving in men’s ministry to leading children’s programs, Steve took on various roles, yet the weight of his own feelings of shame and the pressure of his wife’s battle left him searching for answers of why? In a moment of despair, Steve stepped away from the ministry and distanced himself from God, leaving him feeling abandoned and lost amidst the chaos.
For two long years and alone, Steve fought the battle within himself, and with his wife’s addiction. Feeling trapped in a cycle of pain and hopelessness a dear friend reached out and suggested he see a Christian counselor. It was there that Steve discovered the depths of his codependency and how profoundly it affected his life, relationships, and most of all, his understanding of God’s love. This revelation ignited a spark of hope. Steve began a healing journey that led him to rediscover who he truly was in Christ.
Steve finally surrendered his burdens and allowed God to transform his life and he embraced a powerful new identity. Now, 12 years later, Steve is back in ministry—not just to guide others, but to help transform lives through his own experiences. Steve founded Walk Right Ministries, where he created a online 12 Step Recovery Community centered on our identity in Christ. He just started two impactful podcasts, “Recovery In Identity” and “Walk Right- A Path to Healing,” aimed at providing hope, healing and inspiration.
Steve also is involved in speaking engagements that motivate and uplift audiences of all kinds. His story is one of overcoming many childhood traumas but only by the great work of a wonderful Heavenly Father. Steve’s mission now is to reveal how God’s transformative power can lead anyone to victory when we surrender our hidden traumas and allow Him to work in our lives.
With unwavering passion, Steve has now dedicated himself to sharing God’s loving transformation, empowering individuals and groups alike to experience true healing and restoration.
