Todd G. Keaton | Co-Author
Hi, I’m Todd—a husband, dad, musician, and lifelong student of Scripture. I was born and raised in Vinton, Virginia, and now live in Roanoke with my wife Angel, our daughter Kelsey, and what I like to call our “small kingdom of cats.”
I grew up Presbyterian, later Baptist, and spent over two decades playing bass and guitar on worship teams. I loved the music—but I started noticing something missing. The more I read Scripture, the more I realized the Messiah’s words didn’t always match what we were being taught or what we were practicing. In 2017, that tension led me on a journey back to the roots of my faith—to Torah, to Yeshua’s teachings in their Hebrew context, and to the simple call: walk it out.
That turning point reshaped everything I believe about righteousness, worship, and obedience. Now, through writing, music, and honest conversation, I help others question inherited doctrines and return to the words that started it all.
✍️ Why I Write
I write because truth matters more than comfort.
Because the modern church has traded obedience for opinion.
Because Yeshua’s call to “follow Me” still means something real, something practical.
Through books, YouTube discussions, and open dialogue, I want to help people rediscover faith that does something—faith that lives like it believes. My goal isn’t to argue theology but to live truthfully, test everything, and encourage others to do the same.
📚 A Glimpse Into My Work
I’m the co-author (with Angel) of Righteousness Restored: Walking the Ancient Path Beyond Paul’s Distortion—a book that challenges readers to return to the teachings of Yeshua over the traditions of men. It’s plain talk, solid Scripture, and an honest look at what righteousness really means when you strip away religious systems.
I’m also co-author of the Children’s series The Little Keepers of the Garden. This children’s series introduces young readers to timeless truths through garden parables. Each story helps kids discover courage, kindness, and purpose as they learn to tend the “garden” of their own hearts. Blending gentle storytelling with Hebraic values, the series invites families to grow together in faith, stewardship, and wonder.
We also co-host Listen and Obey on YouTube, where we discuss Hebraic faith, Scripture context, and the journey of walking out truth in everyday life.

💛 A Bit More About Me
When I’m not writing or recording, I’m probably on the water. Bass fishing is where I think best, pray most, and remember how simple life was meant to be. I love classic rock, blues, Hebrew melodies, and the sound of a new song taking shape.
At home, I’m a husband first, dad always, and unofficial cat wrangler. Faith, family, and quiet honesty—that’s my rhythm.
🎓 Faith Journey
- Raised: Presbyterian → later Baptist
- Turning Point: 2017—realizing the difference between church tradition and Yeshua’s teaching
- Today: Walking out Hebraic roots, studying Torah, and encouraging others to test tradition against truth
That shift didn’t make my faith smaller—it made it real. Following Yeshua means asking hard questions, doing what He did, and letting Scripture—not systems—have the final say.
