My Story

Raymond Duriga is passionate about helping others develop into Christ-like individuals by focusing on seeing God in the practical. Ray is a graduate of Johnson University with a B.A. in Preaching and Church Leadership, a Master’s of Divinity student at Biola University in California and a ministry veteran of over 20 years. He passionately serves in various ministries, including youth, children’s, preaching and teaching ministries. Ray is a proud dog owner and has been married to his beautiful wife, Cris, since August 2023. 

Ray has taught and preached internationally to kids, youth, and adults, and has a passion for making the stories of everyday experiences come alive, inspiring growth in the Christian life of his listeners. And now he’s an author, too! He loves coaching others toward growth and developing a life fully devoted to serving God in all areas. He has traveled all over the U.S.A. (literally to 49 of 50 states) and enjoyed the diversity of the country and the world in his travels. 

When Ray is not writing a book, he is soaking in time with friends and family (especially his lovely wife Cris), hiking with his dog Cleo, or playing community sports. He loves the competition of a good board game, the fun of a celebration with friends and is always eager to learn something new. His chief ambition is to serve God and help others do the same.
