A profound sense of loss has swept through the global Christian broadcasting community following the announcement that Rev. James Robison has passed away at age 82. On 17 May 2026, his ministry released an official statement confirming the death of the long-time television host. While the announcement detailed his departure, it provided no official cause of death.
As supporters reflect on his multi-decade ministry, attention has also turned to his public family life. James and his wife, Betty, essentially built their whole lives around a shared calling. They managed to juggle massive humanitarian projects worldwide while still keeping things close to home, dedicating a huge part of their time to helping everyday couples build stronger marriages. The couple became familiar faces on Christian television, all while raising their three children in a faithful, grounded home.
