About

Hi, I’m Ryan The Wandering Pastor.

I’ve been serving as a pastor for over 20 years. Happily married and raising 4 munchkins. This blog is my space to vent, chat, and connect with people from different walks of life.

I’m a sushi lover, crypto addict, and I enjoy reading (mostly non-fiction). Pretty cliche stuff for a pastor, I know. If you have questions or just want to chat or pray please feel free to reach out at any of the social or just shoot me a text at 813.444.7170.

Quotes To Live By:
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” – Jesus of Nazareth

“Instead of wondering when your next vacation is, maybe you should set up a life you don’t need to escape from.” – Seth Godin

It’s only the first week, but I love it. 3 Jesus related news stories (usually) followed up with tiktok reactions. Goes live Monday by through Thursday at 8:30p. You might at well give up on mainstream news. They’re not as sarcastic or grumpy as I am. Link in bio. Today I attended a Bar Mitzvah at the chapel for a young messianic Jew who has been part of the chapel family for the past few years. This copy of the Torah is over 300 years old and sat in the glow of the Jesus light throughout the service. It was incredible getting to see a document older than The Declaration Independence being read from in The Chapel. #torah #chapelfamily #messiah God creates beautiful things. That doesn’t mean that some don’t look terrifying to me. 😳 #tampabay #livingfossil #prayerspot #creepycreautures Thousands of crabs, beautiful birds, and stingrays were abundant in my secret prayer spot at lunch today. Every time I go here I am reminded that Jesus regularly got away to the mountains by himself. Quiet time in the water has always been my happy place. Where’s yours? When a friend says, “I found something in my garage that you’re going to love and your wife is not going to like.” #sendit #myofficedecor #trekkie Parenting is difficult. Here’s clip from the Sex talk with my son, Silas, on our most recent episode of The Wandering Podcast 😳. We’d love for you to follow along with us on this podcast journey to bide our time in quarantines. For full podcast check out link in bio. #sextalk #parenting #letstalkaboutit
