Dr. Robert Bess – Christian Author, Speaker, and Survivor

Short Bio

Dr. Robert Bess is a near-death survivor, technologist, and Christian author whose book Preserved chronicles thirteen times the enemy tried to take his life—and thirteen times God said no. From childhood abuse and addiction to multiple near-death experiences, Robert’s story reveals how God can redeem deep trauma and turn survivors into Kingdom leaders. He lives in Las Vegas, mentors Christian entrepreneurs, and speaks on healing, identity, and purpose. 

Full Bio

Dr. Robert Bess is a near-death survivor, technologist, and Kingdom-minded entrepreneur with over four decades in the tech and building industries. His debut book, Preserved, is a brutally honest memoir that chronicles thirteen near-death experiences, generational trauma, addiction, and the relentless grace of God that kept him alive when he should have died many times over. 

Raised in a home marked by abuse, rejection, and destructive words spoken over his life, Robert grew up believing he was worthless—even as he excelled academically and professionally. Over the years, he survived everything from drowning and violent assaults to car accidents and self-destructive choices. Each time, God intervened. 

Today, Robert leads multiple companies, mentors Christian entrepreneurs in Las Vegas, and shares his story to help people break cycles of trauma, reclaim their God-given identity, and understand that if they’re still breathing, their story is not over. His life message is simple and sobering: you’re not alive by accident—you’re preserved on purpose. 

Robert speaks at churches, conferences, radio and podcast platforms, and business events on themes of trauma healing, faith in real life, leadership under pressure, and living on assignment in the Kingdom of God.

Sample Interview Questions

1. You titled your book Preserved. After everything you’ve survived, what does that word mean to you now?
2. You’ve had multiple near-death experiences. Can you briefly share one that completely changed the trajectory of your life?
3. In the book, you talk about the power of words spoken over you as a child. How did those lies shape your identity for decades?
4. There’s a moment where your mother says, “Thank God you’re alive.” What happened around that scene, and why does it still matter to you today?
5. You say survival isn’t the goal—breaking the cycle is. What does that look like in practical terms for someone coming out of trauma?
6. How did your past affect the way you led in business and technology—and what changed when you started seeing yourself the way God sees you?
