Christian Evangelist & Motivational Speaker; Author of "Just As I Am"; Advocate for Overcoming Adversity
David Ring Biography
David Ring is a Christian evangelist, author, and motivational speaker whose life story has reached audiences worldwide. Born clinically dead for 18 minutes, Ring survived with cerebral palsy, a condition that shaped his experiences. Orphaned at age 14 after losing both parents to illness, he faced physical pain, public ridicule, and significant challenges, including periods of hopelessness.
Ring credits his transformation to a renewed Christian faith, which motivated him to return to school, earn a Bachelor of Arts degree from William Jewell College, and begin a speaking ministry that has spanned more than five decades. He has addressed over 100,000 people annually at churches, conventions, schools, and corporate events globally. His phrase, "I have cerebral palsy, but cerebral palsy don't have me," is widely recognized in Christian motivational speaking and encourages audiences to confront personal obstacles with faith and determination.
Ring's media appearances include national programs such as "The Old-Time Gospel Hour," "The 700 Club," TBN's "Praise the Lord," and broadcasts with James Dobson's Focus on the Family and Family Talk. His multi-part feature, "Victorious! The David Ring Story," expanded his message to a broad radio audience. He has also spoken at Bill Gaither's Praise Gathering, establishing his presence in Christian ministry.
As an author, Ring has written two books. "Just As I Am: The Life of David Ring" details his journey from adversity to purpose, while "The Boy Born Dead: A Story of Friendship, Courage, and Triumph," co-written with David Wideman and John Driver, explores the impact of friendship and faith in building his international speaking ministry.
Ring continues to speak at events across the country and internationally, focusing on overcoming adversity and personal growth. His work in Christian ministry, motivational speaking, and authorship has made him a prominent figure in faith-based and inspirational circles.
