Ryan and Selena are in their 15th year of marriage and they’ve learned a ton about what works and what doesn’t. They hope that as they share openly it will help others grow and cultivate a truly Christ-centered marriage. They aren’t psychologists, counselors, therapists, or academics. They’re just a guy and a girl who are learning how to build a marriage that is centered on Christ. The knowledge and advice they offer is purely editorial and journalistic. Their home church is Gospel Life Church in Puyallup WA. They’re extremely thankful for teaching that is faithful to the Bible and persistent about reminding them to find their worth and value in Christ alone, and in what he has done on the cross. They are both entrepreneurs, artists, high school sweethearts and UW Huskies (go Dawgs!). Ryan is a web developer by trade, though most of his time is spent writing nowadays. He is an avid proponent of the Oxford Comma (as you’ll see in his writing). Selena is indifferent. Selena loves horses and used to be a professional equestrian photographer. They lived in Zurich, Switzerland for a time and it nearly killed one of them (literally). They have two daughters, Dela (sugar and spice) and Clementine (fire and ice). If there was a cute meter they’d both blow it up. They have two dogs that they love: an Australian Shepherd named Macy and a Jack Russell Terrier named Bentley. They have written a handful of books.

Ryan Binkley is the president and CEO of Generational Group located in Richardson, Texas. With over 300 employees, Generational focuses on business consultancy, M&A, and wealth advisory for business owners throughout North America. Ryan and his wife, Ellie, are also founders of Create Church, a multiethnic, multigenerational church in Richardson, Texas. As lead pastor, his deep passion is to see church members of all walks of life discover and live out their purpose. At Generational, Ryan views business as more than just a means to financial success. It’s a way to serve employees and the community. “We strive to create a culture that respects one another and one that honors God in all that we do.” Generational gives back to the community through financial support that specifically benefits programs focused on education and multiple veteran charities. Before starting Generational, Ryan worked in various positions at Procter & Gamble and Boston Scientific Corporation. He holds a BBA from the University of Texas and an MBA from Southern Methodist University. Ryan and Ellie married in 1999. They have five children in various stages of school and college. They chose to adopt their youngest from South Korea, where Ellie was born before immigrating to the U.S. with her parents. It’s one more way their faith has led them to reach across boundaries, finding unity where others might see differences. Today, Ryan is calling on America’s leaders to return to the core values of trusting in God and each other again, caring for the hurting, leading with integrity, and bringing hope and healing to our nation.

Ryan Bomberger has a rather unique perspective of the innate nature of Purpose. His biological mother was raped yet courageously gave him a chance to live and the beautiful gift of adoption. He "Not Equal" by Ryan Bombergerwas adopted at 6 weeks of age and grew up in a loving, multi-“racial” Christian family of 15. With siblings of varying ethnicities, he grew up with a great appreciation for diversity. Ten of the thirteen children were adopted in this remarkable family. His life defies the myth of the “unwanted” child as he was adopted, loved and has flourished. Today, he is an Emmy® Award-winning Creative Professional who founded The Radiance Foundation (TRF), a life-affirming 501(c)(3), along with his wife, Bethany. He is a broadcast media designer, producer, columnist, passionate factivist, international public speaker and author of the powerful book, Not Equal: Civil Rights Gone Wrong. From congressional briefings on Capitol Hill to launching billboard campaigns in major cities across the country to advocating for adoption to inspiring youth & adults with their one-of-a-kind multimedia presentations, Ryan has had incredible opportunities to address hundreds of thousands across the country. He was the creative force behind the first ad campaign to expose abortion’s hugely disproportionate impact in the black community. The bold TooManyAborted.com billboards/web campaigns made an unexpected impact in the pro-life movement. His regularly published articles address the cultural dynamics of abortion, adoption, eugenics, fatherlessness, natural marriage, racism, #BlackLivesMatter, poverty, LGBT and judicial activism, free speech and religious liberty. Ryan is happily married to the love of his life, Bethany. They are the proud homeschooling parents of four amazing children, two of whom are adopted. They are his daily inspiration in illuminating that every human life has purpose.
