Biographies
Rod Pruitt
...at the Mabee Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
******
Born on the “caprock” in the southwest city of Lubbock, Texas, in December of 1951, Rod grew up in a conservative Christian home. …Being only one of two children, he was taught by example that life without God was not something to ever be considered.
But despite his upbringing, and having become a Christian at twelve - at sixteen years old, now disillusioned and cynical…Rod rejected and walked away from his childhood faith to become an agnostic.
“For me? …Christianity had over-promised, and under-produced. And as a result, there just wasn’t enough proof of change that I saw in the lives of other Christians, nor in my own life, to convince me that God existed!”
Yet three years later, now worn down by the “reproof of life” , alone and in the back of a church in Lamesa, Texas, Rod miraculously experienced the presence of God in a tangible encounter.
And then a month later, while in his car driving back to Lubbock, Rod again heard God clearly ask him to change the course of his life, and come “love and minister to the saints”. …Within a month Rod was enrolled as a theology major in a major Bible University.
But only a few years after leaving the university, and having pastored a church for 5 years in Oklahoma - now broken and burned out, Rod resigned the pastorate disillusioned and lost!
The truth - hidden from everyone, Rod had struggled with two dark secrets since childhood – alcohol abuse and immorality!
“For all of those years I was searching for a way to escape! I hated who I was. I didn’t want to be that person! But there were just no answers! The world taught me how to cope. And yes, Christianity promised much more. But for me? Nothing worked! All I found were platitudes, promises, and empty phrases. But no relief. …No relief.”
Now mentally and emotionally struggling with the reality of who he was, Rod was determined to hide and never again be involved in any form of ministry leadership!
But 15 years later…on the side of the road outside of San Antonio, Texas - after decades of dealing with his secret addictions - God now revealed the hidden door that so long ago Rod had unknowingly opened into God’s tangible presence!
The torment was over! 30 years of addictions ended! The curse forever broken! …And the son that was once lost - was now home in the tangible presence of God!
And with the return of this “prodigal”, Through the Storm ministries was born in October 1997!
******
As a result of these life experiences and the “Life Message” placed within Rod’s heart by God, it is now Rod’s passion and that of Through the Storm to present a practical, God-tangible working gospel to Christians worldwide! Working to help those lost in the difficulties of life to now discover the power of God’s presence to live in His peace, love, faithfulness, joy patience, and righteousness!

Rod is the creator of the national seminar for pastors, “Finding Your Life Message”, and the national seminars, “A Touchable and Tangible God”, “Living Without Emotional Pain”, and the new ground breaking “Stepping into God’s World”!
Personal information: Rod is married to vocal and recording artist; speaker and leadership training consultant, Kathy Pruitt. They have five children (one tragically killed in a wreck in 2015, where Rod and Kathy both also sustained on-going internal injuries). Rod and Kathy currently live in San Antonio, Texas.
Kathy Pruitt
*************
1954…born in a strict Catholic home, as one of six children raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Kathy’s heart was always searching for God’s care. Retreating to the isolation of a convent at 13, she would wrestle with a decision of whether or not to live a life separated from the world. But after only two years, Kathy realized that those outside her haven needed someone to help them find the love of God more than she needed the safety of the convent.
And so with a voice that God gifted, blended with a spirit that cried for those in need, Kathy began a ministry that would take her into every major city across America and internationally around the world.
“To experience God’s love, if only for a moment, is to cross a line of change that can never be forgotten.”
Now for almost 50 years, Kathy has traveled nationally and internationally singing with a desire to help people know God intimately.
“When people come to hear me sing they come for different reasons. Some are there just for the music or the ‘show’. Others because they desire to do what I’m doing. And then some come just because they are desperate to feel someone cares about them.”
“People are separated from God for different reasons. I know that. And because of that when I sing I use every ounce of my energy and every moment focused on stripping away whatever separates them from His love. I don’t care why they come, as long as when they leave,…they have felt He loves them!”
Kathy’s ministry has reached beyond the borders of the United States into the nations of Canada, Germany, Belgium, Holland, Zimbabwe, and throughout South Africa.

What Others are Saying about Rod…
— Max Lucado
Pastor and Author
Oak Hills Church, San Antonio, Texas“
Rod has a contagious passion to bring people to really know Jesus. I’ve seen it in his eyes as we’ve talked. I’ve heard it in his messages as he’s spoken. I considered it a great honor to have Rod and Kathy at Oak Hills Church.
They demonstrated integrity in their ministry at this church. And although they had many needs, they never came making requests. Just the opposite, they came seeking to serve! And I’m confident that both will be the same anywhere they minister.
Rod and Kathy are good friends. And they will be a dear gift to your congregation.

Unconditional Love Ministries
In all of the years of my ministry, I have never written a letter asking any pastor to prayerfully consider having another minister come to their church to speak. I am going to break that tradition today!
Years ago, Rod Pruitt, as a burned-out pastor, came to work for me. …He was a minister who had vowed to himself that he would never be in his own public ministry again. And keeping that vow, for over fifteen years he labored faithfully within my own ministry.
But some years ago now, he felt the pull of God’s Spirit to take a message to the entire Body of Christ. A call to compassionately bring others back to an intimate relationship with God, back to Jesus really being the Lord of their lives!
Pastor, I highly recommend this man and the work of God in his life. So much so that I am asking you to prayerfully consider having Rod come and minister to the people in your church.
