Hi, I’m Ryan.

I’m a Christian, husband, daddy, and SBC church elder.

My role as a lay elder in our small, rural, Kentucky church is primarily to plan the Lord’s Day worship service (Bible readings, hymns, songs, prayer, etc.).

I’m a confessional baptist, holding to much of the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith. I’m also an instructor, weekend homesteader, aspiring songwriter, and podcaster.

I love to be outside, whether harvesting garden veggies, foraging for mushrooms or fruit, smoking a pork shoulder, or sitting around the fire pit with my pipe.

This blog is my way of sharing worship resources, songs and short articles I write; sharing photos, videos, and podcasts from the homestead; and connecting with like-minded folks.

So get off the main road, join me on the front porch, pull up a rocking chair, and let’s talk about a little bit more than the weather.
