Who is this guy?
If you see this man on Sunday morning…you will be meeting a good friend of mine. The one flaw he has is that he makes me feel old (maybe it’s not his only flaw). I met Ryan Russell when he was in high school and I was just out of college. He was a part of our student ministry in Mesa, AZ. He went on to Bible College and eventually, I got to hire him, first as an intern and then as our Junior High Pastor. Since then he has gone on to oversee all Family Ministries at Central Christian Church.
Ryan and I have walked many different “Pathways” together. As you probably know from your own experiences, walking the Pathways of life with others usually draws you closer and Ryan is no exception. He is passionate about leading and communicating the life transforming message of Jesus. He is here to share his heart with us and I am quite positive you will be incredibly challenged by what he has to say. So, come this weekend, and take a sneak peak into my past by hearing what God has currently placed on the heart of Ryan.
Ryan and his wife, Jen, have three boys (two short of greatness). I had to say that.

You two look like you could be related! Do you get that often?
