Ryan George grew up with a father who abused him, a church that hurt him, and a heart that needed healing. Even after learning he wasn\u2019t the only one being abused at the hands of his father, Ryan still found healing he desperately needed, and he\u2019s on a mission to help others heal, tell their story, and live life to the fullest. \xa0

• Ryan\u2019s story growing up in Independent Fundamental Baptist churches\xa0
