"Ryan worked with our elder team over a period of months as we navigated a difficult period. He helped us frame a process at the outset and guided us through it with a combination of gentle, probing questions and firm adherence to norms. We learned how to ask tough questions of ourselves; giving and receiving honest feedback with grace. We emerged from it with a new, healthier outlook and a sharpened focus on what it meant to follow Jesus in that time."
