There comes a point where you have to stop and ask—am I truly living in God’s calling, or have I been chasing something else? That’s the heart of Ryan’s conversation with Justin.

In an honest discussion, Ryan lays everything on the table, reflecting on the weight of provision, the wounds he’s carried, and the realization that true change begins when we confront our struggles and align our lives with Jesus.

Ryan’s journey wasn’t easy. The world had misled him—success, striving, and performance had become distractions. Success felt like a trap until he realized the truth—he needed to find Jesus. That moment changed everything. Too often, people separate faith from work, but Ryan believes every space is an opportunity to engage with believers.

As a leader, he builds strong, resilient teams—not just through skill, but by being grounded in faith, authentic in action, and purposeful in pursuit.

Men feel pressure to perform, to succeed, but if we don’t know God, we can’t fully live out His purpose. Ryan challenges us to stop wasting time on things that don’t align with who we are and instead pursue what truly matters.

Life isn’t easy, and those who seek more will face trials. But Ryan reminds us that even in hardship, God is working. The real challenge isn’t just enduring difficulty—it’s being willing to reflect, recognize what needs to change, and trust that God is leading us toward something greater.

Provision isn’t just about what we receive—it’s about how we pour into others and allow others to pour into us.
