Rev Brad Riley MSC

Brad Riley is a pastor, Bible teacher, grief support leader, and author with a heart for helping people find hope when life feels heavy. He serves as Lead Pastor of The Goddard Church in Goddard, Kansas, and is the founder of Brad Riley Ministries, where he teaches Scripture through Bible Study Live and creates resources for spiritual encouragement and growth.

Much of Brad’s recent writing has grown out of his pastoral care and grief support ministry. Through Healthy Pathways: A Road to Healing and his Good Grief Library series, Brad walks alongside those who are grieving with compassion, honesty, and faith. His book Lighting Up the Darkness offers a gentle reminder that grief is not something to “get over,” but a road we walk with grace, memory, courage, and the presence of God.

Brad is also the founder of Divine Catch Press, a publishing imprint dedicated to thoughtful Christian books and resources. His writing reflects the voice of a pastor who has sat with people in hospital rooms, funeral homes, sanctuaries, classrooms, and coffee shops—always seeking to speak words of truth, comfort, and hope.

Brad lives in the Wichita, Kansas area and continues to preach, teach, write, and develop resources that help people follow Christ with deeper faith and renewed hope.
