Robert Wolgemuth
Robert Wolgemuth passed away on January 10, 2026. He was the beloved dear husband of Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth. In addition to being the father to two grown daughters he shared with his late wife, Bobbie Wolgemuth (d. 2014), Robert was a grandfather of five and great-grandfather of three.
Following Bobbie's death, Robert married Nancy Leigh DeMoss, founder and lead Bible teacher of Revive Our Hearts, and became Nancy's dearest friend and confidant, prayer partner, and enthusiastic cheerleader throughout their ten years of marriage.
Robert's career spanned more than forty years in the publishing industry, where among other notable roles, he founded the literary agency Wolgemuth & Associates (now Wolgemuth & Wilson). He was also the best-selling author of more than twenty books including Lies Men Believe, Gun Lap, Finish Line, and the notes to the Men’s Daily Bible. Together, Robert and Nancy co-authored You Can Trust God to Write Your Story. His books have sold more than two million copies, and five have received Silver Medallion Awards from the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association (ECPA).
After retiring from Wolgemuth and Associates, Robert served tirelessly alongside Nancy at Revive Our Hearts—caring for donors and encouraging staff. His love for Jesus and for Nancy was contagious, and his absence is felt keenly.
