Carey Roberts

Member

Carey, who is from Louisiana, is married to Mrs. Tammy Roberts who is from the great state of Oklahoma. We have a blended family that consists of four adult children, one teenager and four grandkids. I enjoy family, sharing the good news of the gospel, motorcycles, college football, blues music, and cooking.

Personally, I have fought addiction for 40+ years and walked around an incredibly angry person not understanding the underlying causes. In 2019 God spoke to my heart to diligently lean on His understanding to figure out how to live a life of Freedom. In the middle of Covid my wife and I birthed a brand new Celebrate Recovery called IGNITE Woodward which is coming up on their 3-year anniversary. Not only has God changed our life, our family lives but countless others. Today it is a thriving dynamic celebrate recovery that has partnered with local churches and businesses to transform the landscape to create a healthier community. God’s ways are always better and higher than our ways.

Broken Chains and the Motorcycle Missionary is really our focus and calling to help others find HOPE and HEALING through our higher power Jesus Christ. I am avid Indian rider that enjoys the BCJC fellowship that this ministry provides. Excited and proud to be a small part to plant seeds that God will water to see a mighty harvest now and in the future.

I am a Mechanical Integrity technical advisor consultant with 25+ years of experience. Resolute advocate for change to identify, support and enhance business value from concept to completion in the oil and gas industry and is a subject matter expert in supporting and implementing mechanical integrity and risk-based inspection programs.
