Pastor Ryan grew up in Central Texas and came to faith in Jesus at the age of 11. At 14, he shared with his home church his sense that the Lord was calling him to full time ministry and began serving in his first church position, just after his fifteenth birthday. Ryan has been ministering to families for over 35 years. Ryan and his wife Lana have been married since 1991 and have three daughters: Ryley, Reagan, and Lily.

In 2014, God called Ryan and Lana to Kingsland Baptist Church in Katy, Texas, where he serves as Senior Pastor. Throughout Ryan’s ministry, he has sensed a special burden to see homes transformed. Ryan has published three books, Home on Time: Life Management by the Book, Walls: Why Everybody’s Stuck (and Nobody Has to Be), and most recently, Restore the Table: Discovering the Powerful Connections of Meaningful Mealtimes. Ryan is a graduate of the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor, Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary, and holds a PhD in Christian Leadership from Dallas Baptist University.
