| Introduction | Born on a farm near Abilene, Kansas, Ron Bowell graduated from Abilene High School in 1965 and went on to earn a degree in psychology from Emporia State University. Ron played with rock bands in the Midwest in the 1960’s and 1970’s. In 2008 one of those bands, Friar Tuck and the Monks, was inducted into the Kansas Music Hall of Fame. You can find pictures and music on the "Friar Tuck and the Monks" Facebook page. During those band days Ron developed an alcohol addiction, but then around Christmas time in1980 he gave his life to Jesus. He became a pastor and led churches in Kansas from 1984 through 2020, founding the CrossRoads Church in Salina, Kansas in 1998. Ron currently serves as Bishop of the Midwest Conference of the Brethren in Christ Church. He is the author of five books, and hosts the CrossRoads Radio Show, a show that draws spiritual truth and application from the sounds of classic rock music. Ron and his wife Kerry have been married for 56 years and have five grown children. |
