don’t settle for god at a distance when intimate relationship is offered.

Hey, I’m Ryan…

I’m a writer, teacher, and spiritual director and I want to help you design your life for deeper relationship with god.

How can I Can Help?

Writing

I write a weekly newsletter, called The Lighthouse, with the aim of offering honest, accessible, and helpful language that reflects our shared experience of faith. My hope is that it will guide you towards cultivating love for God, yourself, and those around you.

Teaching

I teach weekly at Formation Church, and I would also be honored to serve you and/or your church, retreat, or event. To inquire about my availability or to determine if I am the right fit for your event, please fill out the speaker request form.

Podcasting

I am the host of the Modern Monastics Podcast, where each week I guide contemplative prayer practices such as Lectio Divina, centering prayer, or the prayer of Examen. Additionally, I facilitate conversations with individuals who are actively adapting the monastic lifestyle to fit the demands of the modern world.

Spiritual Direction

A spiritual director helps you recognize God's movement in your life and how He is inviting you to respond for a deeper relationship with Him. To learn more about spiritual direction and how I may be able to accompany you, please visit my spiritual direction page.
