Roland shares about growing up around gospel music, his salvation testimony, surrendering to preach, and the influence of his family through the years. Along the way, he reflects on the Set Apart years, joining The Inspirations, and navigating seasons of transition within one of Southern Gospel music’s most beloved groups. The conversation also touches on meeting his wife Nikki, memories of his father, stories from life on the road, and the relationships that have helped shape both his ministry and his life. More than anything, this conversation serves as a reminder that while we may not always understand where the road ahead will lead, the Lord remains faithful to direct our steps. Roland’s journey stands as a testimony to following God’s leading wherever He calls.
