Karen Roth Ministries International LTD
my WHY?
Beauty from Ashes
Hello, and welcome!
My name is Karen Roth.
In February 2020, everything changed for all of us.
As the world shut down in pandemic chaos, I knew God was using this situation to wake up the “church” – first, me. As the fear and political climate raged, I took to my knees and asked God for understanding.
He responded with a word, consecrate.
I looked it up for clarification and found it in the OT when Aaron and his sons were anointed and called to be, “set apart” for the priesthood. Then I read the NT counterparts in 1 Peter 2:4 & 2 Cor. 6:17, Come out from among them and be separate. Instantly, I understood that my life was not honoring to God in every area and that He was offering me an opportunity to choose to make Him Lord and I responded with Yes.
That was 4 years ago.
The moment I said yes, and responded in action, everything in my life changed. Even though I was "saved", over 30 years ago, I hadn't made Him, Lord. My life was full of compromise.
I’ve described my experience as being “born again, again”.
I was set free - supernaturally healed from a 20+ year clinical diagnosis of PTSD and alcohol addiction – but that was only the beginning of the revelation of the glorious riches I’ve discovered in Jesus Christ.
There is more.
You are Worthy
This isn't a cliche or superficial affirmation. Rather, this is point-of-fact for you as a child of the Most High God. You are worthy to receive ALL of His promises - not because of your position, talents, education, works or anything at all about you. It's because of who He says you are because of what He has done for you at the cross, resurrection and ascension. If you've received Christ as your Savior, you already have His righteousness, power & authority and His peace dwelling in you. As a follower of Christ, you are responsible to renew your mind in His word and to make Him Lord of every area of your life. We are called to die to self. As you mature and abide in Him, you are transformed into His image and His Spirit enables and empowers you to walk as He walked. We're here to lift you up and encourage you to worship the Father in spirit and in truth with your life to the standard Jesus taught and exemplified.
Having said this, if you're a believer and you're not living a God-honoring life, it's not too late. You're not reading this by accident. God's love is here for you, He loves you and will never forsake you. God's gifts and calling are irrevocable (Romans 11:29). Don't allow the enemy to deceive you one more second. Get your bible right now and declare out loud, 1 John 1:9, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness". You are free. Now. No need for penance or self-flagellation, you are free to begin again as the new creation that you are in Him (2 Co 5:17).
Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed,
(John 8:36).
We're in this together
We aren't meant to walk out our faith in isolation. God has designed us for relationship with Him and other believers. We need our family in Christ to lift us up when we stumble, cry and pray with us when we hurt, to challenge us to rise higher, and to genuinely celebrate our victories.
Are you ready to grow deep in your faith and join a community of like-minded women? I look forward to journeying with you, so you are free to live His life in abundance!
If you want to learn more and stay in the loop for upcoming events - please drop me an email here to join our online community/FB group, you can trust that I'll never share your information.

A bit more about me
I've been married to my best friend Steve for 10 years - together, we've traveled, worked and lived in more places than I want to count, including 3 cities in stunning New Zealand.
In 2020, we returned to the US, and found our new home on beautiful Saint Simons Island, GA. In 2024, the Lord moved us yet agin to North Ga where we're in the process of renovation and building a sacred retreat for creatives & visionaries. Please follow our journey @sanctumforestretreat.
We are blessed with 4 grown children, and 7 grandchildren. I've been a follower of Christ for 30+ years and am still overwhelmed by His love, mercy and patience.
In my former professional life, I worked as an artist/entrepreneur and hold a Ph.D. in Educational Psychology. I'm honored to turn my previous passions and experience into full-time ministry for His Kingdom.
