A Voice for Radio, A Heart for Ministry
Ben Peyton is a seasoned broadcaster, dynamic public speaker, and devoted minister based in Roanoke, Virginia. He began his career in radio at just 15 years old, working weekends and summers while still in high school.
What started as a teenage passion turned into a thriving career that took him to major markets including Cleveland, Seattle, and Chicago. Over the years, Ben developed a reputation not only as a trusted voice on the airwaves but also as a sought-after consultant in the radio industry, helping stations fine-tune their programming, build strong teams, and grow their audiences.
After decades in broadcasting and media consulting, Ben felt called to ministry. In his 40s, he transitioned into pastoral leadership, returning to his roots to serve as the senior pastor of Roanoke’s First Christian Church. During his time there, his sermons blended heart, humor, and honesty, reaching people across generations and backgrounds.
While Ben has since stepped away from his role at First Christian Church, his passion for ministry and connecting with others remains strong.
Whether behind a microphone or a pulpit, Ben’s message remains the same: hope, authenticity, and the power of faith to transform lives.
