Our History

Pastor Ron has served as a preacher and trainer for over 30 years and is currently the Lead Pastor of WaterStone Church in Longwood, FL. InCourage Media represents several decades of his preaching and a focus on the discipleship of men, families, children, and ministers. With a heavy heart for church revitalization, Pastor Ron has mentored nearly 20,000 preachers in their efforts to develop Biblically centered ministries. 

Pastor Ron has been married to his wife, Rana Smith, for nearly 30 years and they have three daughters who all actively serve in ministry.  During that time, Rana has tirelessly developed and served in family ministries that literally span from coast to coast.  These experiences led them to a special affection for supporting healthy Christ-centered families.  As a former U.S. Marine, and having counseled numerous families suffering from poor leadership, Pastor Ron has embraced the challenge to equip men with a kingdom focus regardless of stage in life.

InCourage Media was established to expand the influence of Pastor Ron’s teaching of Biblical truth in these areas.
