Any question is fair game as long as it is asked sincerely.  While I can engage and/or debate people about confusing or tricky issues, I only want to take time to do it with people who are open to being mutually benefitted by the exchange.  I understand that following Jesus is the most important thing in the world, and so asking questions is an important part of it.  Ask away, my friends!  If I don't know the answer, I'll be honest enough to tell you then try to shed any light I can on the subject.

Ryan Parish

Expertise

I can answer just about any question about Christian living, believing that the Biblical revelation is meant to deal with all of life. Though not every modern issue is addressed specifically in the Bible, I feel confident in applying the grand principles of love, submission and Christ-likeness to all issues. I can't answer some questions definitively simply because God has not given detailed information on some matters. I can draw valid conclusions from what God has revealed, though.

Experience

I was raised in the church from my childhood, and have had an interest in God, the Bible and spiritual things from a very early age. At around the age of 15, I felt led to pursue a future in full time ministry. I've been in professional ministry since 2003, but was very active in teaching and encouraging Christians long before that. I preached my first sermon at the age of 15 and have found great joy in teaching God's truths ever since!
