Roberts Liardon was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, as the first male child born at Oral Roberts University.
As the first male child born at Oral Roberts University—a large charismatic Christian college in the Midwest—his mother named him in honor of the university founder, Oral Roberts. His career in the ministry began at a young age of 13, when he gave his initial public address.
At 17, Liardon published the book, “I Saw Heaven”, which catapulted him into the public eye. The book sold over 1.5 million copies and by the following year, he had become one of the leading public speakers in the Christian community all over the world. This established him as a leading Protestant Church historian, a role he carries with honor to this day. God spoke to Liardon and inspired him to write and produce a book series and DVD series entitled ‘God’s Generals’. Its mission is aimed to chronicle the lives of some of the leading Pentecostal and charismatic leaders. It was an immediate success and became one of the bestselling Christian DVD series in history. In 1990, Roberts Liardon moved to Southern California and founded his worldwide headquarters in Orange County. Here he started one of the largest Christian Churches and Bible Colleges in the region.

I Was A Buddhist, Living In Darkness For Over 30 Years, But Jesus Christ Saved Me
I read through the entire Bible Story volume when I was about 8 years old. I was brought up Catholic, so the end of the Bible Story about Pentecost really confused me, and Revelations scared me. Pentecost for me came years later when at age 14 or 15 I was sent to a Group Home because I was truant from school (I was clinically depressed; had seasonal affective disorder). At the Group Home’s church I looked around when the band and singers played and saw people reaching towards the ceiling. I thought “This is the strangest church I’ve ever seen!”
It sure was. Later there were guest speakers like Hague, Pastor Mark …..from Grand Rapids, Michigan, Sister Lucy, Roberts Liardon (I got stuck in the nursery that day, lucky to edify those parents and others attending the service), and many other greats I cannot remember the names of. I was so lucky to be spiritually fed by these people I SHOULD know their names, but memory fails me I suppose.
I have gone away from Christ, but every time I tune into a preacher saying the Word of God…the Bible…..I am fed spiritually and feel the pull back to the family of Christ; for the entire church of our Lord Jesus is a family, one that is familiar the world over. I remember being in the U.S. Army stationed in South Korea. I was looking for a Pentecostal Christian Church one Sunday and went to the wrong church. I was lucky enough to run into a South Korean lady at the back of the church who spoke English and she was ever so kind and nice I really owe her….she walked me to a church 4 blocks away that was Pentecostal and I thanked her profusely and blessed her in prayer. I to this day wonder why or if the Army base had any kind of Pentecostal church because none was offered or known to me. Thank you Jesus for those sweet, kind Korean people! Amen!
Hi Terri. I read through your comment with love and anticipation but ran into a shock when you said you left Christ. Pleas I care to know why if you would be ok with sharing. I’m doing this because I care and hope we can have a discussion about this. I am a survivor who has lost 6 siblings but lucky to be alive because of the goodness of Christ. If you would love to hear from me, kindly reply me at [email protected]. Blessings.
