During his studies, he made friends with Jacob Schickhart in 1603 , met his sister Magdalena and married her on October 22nd, 1610. In 1609 he defended his doctoral thesis with the disputation Controversiae de impulsiva praedestinationis causa and in 1610 received his doctorate in theology. After completing his studies, he became a professor of education, first in Herborn and later in Steinfurt .

In 1614 Ravensberger was appointed professor of theology at the newly founded University of Groningen, where he went with his wife and brother-in-law Jacob Schickhardt. Later he was also elected rector there. Ravensberger played a key role in the academic development of the University of Groningen and in defining the study program.
